An aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is a rare vascular anomaly accompanied by nonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (NRILN). Here, we described the cervical-first approach in thoracoscopic esophagectomy for an esophageal cancer patient with ARSA using the intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) system. First, a left cervical procedure proceeded to expose the left vagus nerve to attach the APS electrode of the IONM system, and the left cervical paraesophageal lymph nodes was dissected separately.

Background Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs), including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, present substantial therapeutic challenges due to their high morbidity, mortality, and increasing prevalence. Current treatments often prove infeasible or inadequate in patients with refractory VAs. Purpose To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CT-guided left stellate ganglion cryoneurolysis (SGC) in the treatment of refractory VAs.

Article Synopsis
- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe treatment for benign thyroid nodules, but it carries a risk of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), which can affect voice function.
- The study highlights the use of flexible laryngoscopy (FL) to monitor vocal cord (VC) function during RFA, ensuring safety before treating the second nodule in a patient with hyperthyroidism.
- The findings suggest that using FL is an effective way to minimize RLN injury risk during both single and bilateral RFA treatments, even when the patient is awake.

Introduction: Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the parotid gland typically presents as a palpable, often painless mass. Peripheral facial palsy as the only sign of malignant neoplasia is rare. In these cases, the diagnosis is regularly confirmed by radiological imaging followed by surgical exploration and biopsy.

Introduction: Cosmetic behavior is an important daily activity, especially for women, because it increases visual attractiveness, self-confidence, and positive emotions. However, it is unknown whether a relationship exists between physiological measures and subjective experiences during the series of cosmetic behaviors.
Methods: Electroencephalograms (EEG) and electrocardiograms (ECG) from thirty female participants who were asked to look in a mirror after applying skincare, as well as base, eye, cheek, and lip makeup were recorded.
