Traditional Chinese Medicine Enema Therapy in a Patient With a Confirmed Negative SARS-CoV-2 Test in the Respiratory Tract but Positive in the Intestinal Tract: A Case Report.

We report the case of a 43-year-old man who was infected with SARS-CoV-2 in February 2020 and actively cooperated with treatment in the hospital. During the course of treatment, we found that the respiratory SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid became negative, but remained positive in the intestinal tract. As a result, we adjusted the treatment plan to include traditional Chinese medicine enema treatment.

Computed tomography-guided implantation of I radioactive seeds in patients with malignant airway compression induced by advanced lung cancer: effectiveness and safety in 40 patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided I radioactive seed implantation in patients with malignant airway compression induced by advanced lung cancer.

Material And Methods: Between June 2015 and June 2018, 40 patients from three medical institutions with malignant airway compression induced by advanced lung cancer were treated with I seed implantation. The outcomes were measured in technical success and safety, objective response rate, complications, Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score, and survival time.
