- By June 21, 2020, significant improvements were made, including a decrease in infection rates, increased testing capacity, and better contact tracing, highlighting the importance of data and communication in managing the public health response.
Article Synopsis
- - Mediastinitis is a rare complication linked to central venous catheters, typically associated with thoracic surgery; only a few cases have been documented.
- - A case involves an 83-year-old man who developed mediastinitis due to leaking parenteral nutrition through the central venous catheter.

Objective: To analyze the complications, side effects, satisfaction degree and quality of life of patients after TS for primary upper limb hyperhidrosis.
Objective: We undertook a review of patients with chest trauma attended between January 1992 and June 2005 in order to establish severity criteria in these cases.
Patients And Methods: During the study period, 1,772 cases (1,346 [76%] males) were treated, with ages ranging from 7 to 98 years (mean, 46.4 years).
Introduction: It has been hypothesized that medical procedures performed in high-volume units carry less risk and achieve a better outcome.
Objective: To determine the relationship between the number of interventions and the operative morbidity, mortality and long-term survival in the surgery of bronchogenic carcinoma (BC).
Patients And Method: Prospective, multicenter Spanish study was conducted in 19 departments of thoracic surgery on 2994 patients operated on consecutively with the aim of curing BC.
Background: Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SP) is a rare disorder.
Methods: The objective of this study is to examine a series of patients treated during 19 years, analyzing risk, clinical, and diagnostic factors as well as treatment and long-term follow-up.
Materials And Methods: A descriptive, retrospective study was done from 1984 to 2003 on 32 patients admitted to the hospital with SP.
