J Cardiothorac Surg

Department of General Surgery, Harran University Faculty of Medicine, Sanliurfa, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- Hydatid cysts are caused by a tiny parasite called Echinococcus and are often found in places like Turkey, mostly in the liver or lungs.
- These cysts can break open and cause serious problems like allergic reactions or infection, which is why it's important to catch them early and treat them quickly.
- The study talks about a rare case where a 24-year-old guy, who had surgery for a hydatid cyst before, ended up needing emergency surgery because his cyst burst and affected his chest; luckily, he did not have any major complications afterwards.

Head of General Surgery Department, St. Charles Hospital, Fayadiyeh, Lebanon.
Background: Hydatid disease, also known as echinococcosis, is a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by the larvae of the Echinococcus tapeworm. It is endemic in various regions worldwide, particularly in rural areas of countries in southern South America, Central Asia, China, parts of Africa, the Mediterranean, and parts of the Middle East. The disease primarily affects the liver (60-70% of cases) and the lungs (10-25% of cases), but it can involve any organ, including the brain, bones, and rarely the pelvic region, as seen in our case report.

Western Ultrasound For Women, Perth, Western Australia, Australia.
Background: Fluoroscopic hysterosalpingography (HSG) with Lipiodol® is safe and has a therapeutic effect on fertility: transient in endometriosis-related infertility and sustained in unexplained infertility. Ultrasound is replacing fluoroscopy as the preferred imaging modality for HSG due to comfort and radiation safety (no ionising radiation). The safety of ultrasound-guided Lipiodol® HSG is uncertain.

Background: Ground-level falls are common among older adults and are the most frequent cause of traumatic intracranial bleeding. The aim of this study was to derive a clinical decision rule that safely excludes clinically important intracranial bleeding in older adults who present to the emergency department after a fall, without the need for a computed tomography (CT) scan of the head.
Methods: This prospective cohort study in 11 emergency departments in Canada and the United States enrolled patients aged 65 years or older who presented after falling from standing on level ground, off a chair or toilet seat, or out of bed.
