Abstarct: BACKGROUND: The optimal positioned double-lumen endotracheal tubes (DLT) is crucial in thoracic surgery requiring lung isolation. This study aims to compare the accuracy and complication rates of DLT placement using videolaryngoscopy (VL) versus conventional direct laryngoscopy (DL).
Methods: This retrospective single-center study included 89 patients who underwent thoracic surgery with DLT placement between July 2023 and May 2024.
Article Synopsis
- Malondialdehyde (MDA) is identified as a potential predictor of inhospital mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a condition with limited research on this marker compared to stable angina pectoris.
- The study involved 556 ACS patients, using leftover plasma samples to analyze various blood markers, including MDA, troponin, and others, in relation to inhospital mortality.
- Results showed that MDA levels, along with age and creatine, were independent predictors of inhospital mortality, with an optimal MDA cutoff value of >33.1 providing high sensitivity (85%) and specificity (88.17%) for predicting outcomes.
Background: Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the third most common clinical manifestation of atherosclerosis after coronary artery disease and stroke. Despite successful endovascular treatment (EVT), mortality and morbidity rates still remain higher in patients with PAD. Naples prognostic score (NPS) is a novel scoring system, reflects the patient's nutritional and immunological statuses as well as systemic inflammatory responses.

Our purpose was to investigate the predictive significance of left ventricular global longitudinal strain in normotensive septic intensive care patients.
Methods: This observational, prospective cohort study included septic normotensive adults admitted to the intensive care unit between June 1, 2021, and August 31, 2021.
