Article Abstract
This case report is presented to assess safety and efficiency of early suction and saline washout of extravasated cytotoxic drugs. Through multiple small skin incisions, the area of extravasation is first suctioned and subsequently extensively washed out with saline. Incisions are left open and the arm is elevated for 24 hours. A complete healing was obtained in five days without any skin or soft tissue loss. No additional treatment was needed. Early referral and surgical treatment by suction and washout is a safe and reliable treatment protocol for major cytotoxic drug extravasation injuries.

Respiratory viruses were frequently detected in young children with cystic fibrosis but had limited clinical significance.

Aim: Knowledge about the clinical role that respiratory viruses play in infants and toddlers with cystic fibrosis (CF) remains limited. We determined the prevalence of respiratory viruses in routine respiratory secretion samples in children aged 0-3 years with CF. Associations with bacterial infections, respiratory tract symptoms and lung function were also explored.

Article Synopsis
- Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease starts in infancy and can be evaluated for lung function impairment using multiple breath washout (MBW) and scans, but these methods are not well correlated in young children. This study aimed to describe lung function trajectories, identify risk factors for progression, and assess the impact of lumacaftor/ivacaftor treatment.
- The study involved 59 infants and toddlers, collecting data over a median follow-up of nearly 11 months, which revealed an overall average annual decline in lung function (measured via ventilation distribution efficiency, or z-VDE).
- Results showed that children who had experienced bacterial infections exhibited worse lung function trajectories compared to those who didn't, while
Background: Several studies have revealed that clinicians cannot suction all available secretion in the trachea and perform more frequent suctioning with a closed suctioning system (CSS) than with an open suctioning system (OSS). There are also studies claiming that the CSS is as effective as the OSS, based on either the amount of secretion, the frequency of suctioning, or haemodynamic parameters alone. However, there is no study examining all at once.

Aim: To report a large hyphema following femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and trabectome resulting in endocapsular hematoma.
Background: Hyphema has previously been described following trabectome, however, no cases have been reported following FLACS or FLACS combined with microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). We report a case of a large hyphema following FLACS combined with MIGS that resulted in an endocapsular hematoma.
