Background: This case series explores the management of respiratory failure in patients with large anterior tracheal thyroid tumors where tracheostomy is not an option. To our knowledge, this study is the first to address the challenges associated with caring for such patients.
Case Summary: We present the clinical courses of four intubated adults with advanced thyroid cancer and complex airway issues that preclude surgical tracheostomy.
Aims: To improve understanding of the pathology of immune check-point inhibitor (ICI)-related pneumonitis, clinical, radiographic and histopathological features and outcomes were investigated in a cohort of patients who were treatment-naive before receiving ICI inhibition, who underwent lung biopsy, and in whom other potential causes of lung injury were excluded.
Methods: Patients were retrospectively identified via searches of institutional pathology and clinical records. Patients treated with other modalities for cancer and patients with lung infections or other aetiologies that could cause pneumonitis were excluded.
Innovative catheter-based therapies are increasingly being used for the treatment of patients with submassive pulmonary embolism. These patients may be monitored in the intensive care unit following insertion of specialized pulmonary artery catheters. However, the infusion catheters utilized in catheter-based therapies differ greatly from traditional pulmonary artery catheters designed for hemodynamic monitoring.

- - Research into the bioactive compounds in lotus seeds and their effects on the body is important for understanding their therapeutic potential and extraction methods.
Background: The spectrum of breast lesions in adolescents varies markedly from that for adults, with the former lesions being overwhelmingly benign. Fine needle biopsy can be used to distinguish benign and malignant tumour.
Study Design: This study examined the characteristics and outcome of women with different age groups in whom physical examination was their sole method of lump in breast detection.
