Objective: To describe our experience of the use of extracorporeal shockwave treatment (EST) for Peyronie's disease. Patients and methods The study included 28 patients (mean age 57 years, range 34-72) with stable Peyronie's disease who were treated with 3.9 (3-5) sessions of EST to the Peyronie's plaque. The patients' erectile function, pain and penile angle were assessed before and after treatment with EST.
Results: Of the 28 patients, 20 felt that their erection improved after the procedure; 11 patients were able to recommence sexual intercourse and the index of erectile function increased in all but one patient. Conclusion EST produces a significant improvement in pain and penile angle, with no serious complications.

Department of PICU of Pediatric Medicine, Seventh Medical Center, PLA General Hospital, Beijing, 100000, China.
Objective: We aimed to outline the experience with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory and cardiac failure in neonates in our institution and compare our results with those from other countries.
Method: The clinical data of 28 neonates who required ECMO assistance were studied retrospectively.
Results: A total of 28 neonates underwent support with veno-arterial ECMO, including 14 cardiac support and 14 respiratory support.

Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Science, Hiroshima University, Japan.
Aim: To determine the association between institutional experience with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) and outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
Methods: We analyzed data from the JAAM-OHCA registry, a nationwide multicenter database containing information on patients who experienced OHCA in Japan between June 2014 and December 2020. The study population consisted of patients with OHCA who were in cardiac arrest on hospital arrival and treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Background: Paragangliomas are rare neoplasms arising from extra-adrenal chromaffin cells, with mediastinal paragangliomas representing an exceptionally rare subset. This report details the surgical management of a complex mediastinal paraganglioma case, presenting with refractory hypertension and invasion of critical surrounding structures. A comprehensive review of the current literature is included to underscore existing cases, enhance clinical awareness, and share our insights and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this challenging condition.

Background: Pediatric solid organ transplantation is challenging due to the limited availability of suitable organs resulting in an increasing waitlist. Many pediatric transplant recipients receive organs from deceased donors, often after neurologic determination of death. Organ donation from patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at the time of death has been described in adults, offering the potential for donation after circulatory determination of death (DCDD) with minimal ischemia time.

Objective: To explore the experience of extracorporeal life support (ECLS)-assisted maintenance of brain death donors with extremely unstable hemodynamics.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 12 brain-dead donors who received ECLS in our hospital from May 2015 to May 2022 due to extremely unstable hemodynamics. The organ acquisition status was analyzed.
