Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the utility of preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT scanning in preoperative evaluation and surgical planning for pulmonary tuberculosis.
Methods: The study involved a retrospective analysis of clinical data and preoperative chest 18F-FDG PET/CT data of 24 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis who underwent pneumonectomy at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center between December 2017 and January 2022.
Results: All 24 patients successfully underwent chest 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging, and complete data pertaining to the maximum standardized uptake value, mean standardized uptake value, minimum standardized uptake value, total lesion glycolysis, and metabolic tumor volume were obtained.

Background: Bronchiectasis (BE) in children living with HIV (CLWH) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in tuberculosis (TB)-endemic low- and middle-income countries. Treatment modalities for BE in CLWH currently focus mainly on prevention of infections and management of symptoms, while surgical management is indicated for a select group. In contrast, surgical management in non-cystic fibrosis BE is well established.

School of Nursing, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, People's Republic of China.
Objective: To systematically evaluate the risk factors of conversion to thoracotomy in thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lung cancer, and to provide a theoretical basis for the development of personalized surgical plans.
Methods: CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched by computer from the establishment of the database to March 2024. Relevant studies on the risk factors of conversion to thoracotomy in VATS for lung cancer were searched.
