Objectives: To investigate the risk factors for plastic bronchitis (PB) in children with macrolide-unresponsive pneumonia (MUMPP) and to establish a nomogram prediction model.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 178 children with MUMPP who underwent bronchoscopy from January to December 2023. According to the presence or absence of PB, the children were divided into a PB group (49 children) and a non-PB group (129 children).

Objectives: This study investigated the longitudinal changes in ventricular function and atrioventricular valve function to clarify the timing and the mechanisms of failing Fontan.
Methods: Patients who underwent total cavopulmonary connection between 1994 and 2023 were reviewed, and longitudinal echocardiographic examinations of ventricular function and atrioventricular valve regurgitation were analyzed.
Results: A total of 650 patients were included.
Long-Term Outcomes of the Non-Fenestrated Strategy for Extracardiac Total Cavopulmonary Connection.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Nagano Children's Hospital, Azumino, Japan.
Background: The discussion of Fontan fenestration is difficult because many institutions have different strategies over time. In our institute, we performed a non-fenestrated Fontan procedure for single-ventricular physiology as our definitive strategy.
Methods: Between August 1999 and December 2007, 72 consecutive patients with single-ventricle physiology underwent extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection without fenestration as our definitive strategy.
Adult Plastic Bronchitis: A Rare Cause for Chronic Productive Cough.

Division of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Burlington, Massachusetts.
Plastic bronchitis is a rare disease with serious morbidity. We report a case of a 48-year-old male smoker with a past medical history of diabetes, emphysema, recurrent respiratory infections, a worsening productive cough, and increased oxygen requirement over the past 3 months. Often described in the pediatric population, it is important to maintain plastic bronchitis in the differential when considering unresolving pulmonary conditions with chronic sputum production.
