Objectives: Obesity is a serious disorder that may lead to numerous difficulties in endotracheal tube (ETT) management. This study investigated the potential of tracheal ultrasound (TUS) for the accurate confirmation of the ETT position in obese patients.
Methods: A total of 68 obese patients undergoing tracheal intubation were enrolled in this study from January 2017 to June 2018.

Article Synopsis
- * Of the patients studied, 12.1% were found to have DVT, with higher rates in those undergoing multi-ligament reconstruction, particularly involving the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).
- * The results indicate that the risk of DVT increases with the duration of tourniquet use during surgery, suggesting the need for preventive measures for patients with specific risk factors after such procedures.

Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and nocturnal arrhythmia.
Methods: During September 2010 to August 2011, a total of 446 subjects were recruited from Department of Sleep Breathing Disorder, Third Hospital, Hebei Medical University to receive polysomnography examination and electrocardiogram monitoring. According to the results, they were classified as mild (5 ≤ AHI < 15/h) or moderate (15 ≤ AHI < 40/h) or severe (AHI ≥ 40/h) OSAS.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to present a novel medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction technique and investigate the clinical outcomes of this surgical procedure.
Methods: From July 2006 to June 2009, 56 patients with medial instability of the knee were treated with MCL reconstruction and followed up for 33 months on average. These patients were divided into 2 groups based on whether anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury was present: 27 patients had isolated MCL injury, whereas 29 patients had combined MCL-ACL injury.
