Lobar or sublobar resection of peripheral stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

Purpose Of Review: We aim to highlight two recent clinical trials that have altered the approach of the management of stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer.

Recent Findings: The JCOG 0802 and CALGB 140503 trials demonstrated that sublobar resection is noninferior to lobectomy for overall and disease-free survival in patients with stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer.

Summary: Since 1962, lobectomy has been deemed the gold standard treatment for operable lung cancer.

Outside the Cage Subcostal RATS Lobectomy: Technical Aspects and Results of the First Series of a Novel Approach to Pulmonary Lobectomy.

Objective: The goal of minimally invasive surgery is to reduce trauma to patients and improve their postoperative outcomes. In this context, the utilization of robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) in the treatment of lung cancer has increased worldwide. The feasibility of single-incision major pulmonary resections by RATS was recently reported, with the objective of minimizing the surgical trauma of the traditional multiportal RATS approach.

Primary hyperhidrosis prevalence and characteristics among medical students in Rio de Janeiro.

Background: Hyperhidrosis is a pathological condition defined by excessive sweating beyond thermoregulatory physiological needs, which can cause substantial psychological impact and impairment of daily activities. Studies regarding its prevalence, however, are scarce and vary widely in their findings. The population of medical students is a particularly interesting subset for its recurring demand of physical contact during patient examination or procedures, and the potential for professional adversity.
