Mechanical Pulmonary Thrombectomy: A Case Report on a Life-Saving Intervention in Acute Pulmonary Embolism.

A 69-year-old male presented to the emergency department with sudden shortness of breath, three weeks after recovering from a COVID-19 infection. Despite having no significant prior medical history, the patient rapidly deteriorated, suffering a cardiac arrest. He was resuscitated and diagnosed with a massive saddle pulmonary embolism, confirmed via echocardiogram and computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA).

Biomimicking Nature-Inspired Design Structures-An Experimental and Simulation Approach Using Additive Manufacturing.

Whether it is a plant- or animal-based bio-inspiration design, it has always been able to address one or more product/component optimisation issues. Today's scientists or engineers look to nature for an optimal, economically viable, long-term solution. Similarly, a proposal is made in this current work to use seven different bio-inspired structures for automotive impact resistance.

Transanal rectopexy for external rectal prolapse.

Purpose: The surgical management of patients with full-thickness rectal prolapse (FTRP) continues to remain a challenge in the laparoscopic era. This study retrospectively assesses a cohort of patients undergoing a transanal suture sacro rectopexy supported by sclerosant injection into the presacral space under ultrasound guidance.

Methods: Patients with FTRP underwent a sutured transrectal presacral fixation of 2/3 of the circumference of the rectum from the third sacral vertebra to the sacrococcygeal junction through a side-viewing operating proctoscope.

Solitary Bone Plasmacytoma of Humerus Presenting as a Nonhealing Fracture in a Child: A Rare Entity.

Solitary bone plasmacytoma is an extremely rare entity and is characterized by localized proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells. Plasmacytomas are extremely rare in the pediatric population. The median age at diagnosis is usually the fifth or sixth decade, with axial skeleton being more commonly involved than appendicular.

Early outcomes of radiofrequency ablation in unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer from a tertiary cancer hospital in India.

Aims: The study was carried out to evaluate the early outcomes using Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for unresectable liver metastases in the management of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) from an area of low endemicity.

Material And Methods: 60 Patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases had undergone 88 sessions of RFA from January 2007 till December 2013. The results were retrospectively analysed to evaluate the outcomes in terms of efficacy and survival rates.

Percutaneous repair of iatrogenic subclavian artery injury by suture-mediated closure device.

Central venous catheterization through internal jugular vein is done routinely in intensive care units. It is generally safe, more so when the procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance. However, there could be inadvertent puncture of other vessels in the neck when the procedure is not performed under real-time sonographic guidance.
