Introduction: Peritonsillar abscesses form between the tonsillar capsule, the superior constrictor, and palatopharyngeus muscles. Physicians traditionally make this diagnosis clinically; however, ultrasound allows clinicians to further identify and differentiate between peritonsillitis, peritonsillar abscess, and phlegmon formation. By increasing both the sensitivity and specificity, ultrasound improves the diagnostic accuracy for patients with peritonsillar abscesses.

The minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) system was developed to minimize the contact of blood with air and foreign surfaces during conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). It is also aimed to reduce the inflammatory response by further increasing the biocompatibility of the components that make up the MiECC circuits. The Minithoracotomy (MTH) approach for mitral valve disease remains associated with prolonged operative times, but it is beneficial in terms of reduced postoperative complications (renal failure, atrial fibrillation, blood transfusion, wound infection), length of stay in intensive care unit (ICU) and in hospitalization, with finally a reduction in global cost.

Background: Needle aspiration is a common treatment of peritonsillar abscess (PTA). Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used to guide this procedure. We describe our experience using a commercially available needle guide attached to an endocavitary ultrasound probe for dynamic real-time POCUS-guided PTA needle aspiration.

Background: Drainage of pelvic abscesses is interventional procedures that should be well planned due to organ contiguity. There are not enough publications in the literature evaluating the treatment methods of pelvic abscess drainage and comparing success rates.
Methods: In this study, 15 patients who underwent pelvic abscess drainage in our interventional radiology unit between June 2017 and December 2019 were retrospectively included.
Linking cell function with perfusion: insights from the transcatheter delivery of bone marrow-derived CD133 cells in ischemic refractory cardiomyopathy trial (RECARDIO).

Article Synopsis
- Cell therapy using autologous bone marrow-derived CD133 cells has shown potential in treating patients with refractory angina, particularly focusing on its safety and initial effectiveness.
- In a trial involving 10 patients with left ventricular dysfunction, the delivery of these cells via a minimally invasive procedure resulted in improved myocardial perfusion and heart function at the 6-month mark.
- The study also found correlations between enhanced heart perfusion and the levels of certain proangiogenic and anti-inflammatory cytokines released by the CD133 cells, suggesting a mechanism for the observed benefits.
