Article Synopsis
- Bronchobiliary fistula (BBF) is a rare condition in adults that connects the bronchial system and biliary tract, often resulting from trauma, infections, or surgical complications.
- The case presented involves a 58-year-old man who developed BBF after liver hydatid cyst surgery, leading to acute breathing issues and requiring multiple diagnostic procedures before surgery.
- Surgical treatment posed significant challenges for anesthetic management due to factors like potential sepsis and lung isolation difficulties, necessitating a team approach for postoperative care, including respiratory support and antibiotic treatment.
DNA damage-inducible transcript 4 (DDIT4) is induced in various cellular stress conditions. Several studies showed that the dysregulation of DDIT4 is involved in different malignancies with paradoxical expressions and roles. Therefore, this study investigated the clinical significance, prognostic, and diagnostic value of DDIT4 in different types of pancreatic tumors (PT).

- Recent studies indicate that neo-adjuvant chemotherapy strategies, particularly with 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin, and docetaxel, may help improve outcomes for gastric cancer patients.
- A randomized trial involving 61 patients showed a higher R0 resection rate in the chemotherapy group (85.7%) compared to surgery alone (61.5%).
- Despite similar mid-term survival rates and mortality between the two groups, R0 resection status was the key predictor of mid-term mortality, suggesting the potential benefits of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.
