Diaphragmatic rupture during labor is an exceptionally rare condition, with a limited number of cases reported in the literature. A recent review underscores the rarity of this complication and emphasizes the associated challenges in diagnosis and management. This case report presents a postpartum diaphragmatic rupture, focusing on the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges it poses, particularly in the context of unsupervised deliveries.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and available treatment strategies for reoperation of neonatal high jejunal atresia, and recommend preventive measures to reduce the reoperation rate of high jejunal atresia.
Methods: The clinical data of 16 children with high jejunal atresia who underwent reoperation in the Neonatal Surgery Department at Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2018 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: Among the 16 unplanned reoperations, 7 (43.

Aging disrupts multiple homeostatic processes, including autophagy, a cellular process for the recycling and degradation of defective cytoplasmic structures. Acute treatment with the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine blunts the maximal forces generated by the diaphragm muscle, but the mechanisms underlying neuromuscular dysfunction in old age remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that chloroquine treatment increases the presynaptic retention of the styryl dye FM 4-64 following high-frequency nerve stimulation, consistent with the accumulation of unprocessed bulk endosomes.

Introduction: There is a risk of iatrogenic vascular injuries during robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision of diaphragmatic endometriosis. Although studies are limited, the first reported case of a suprahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) injury during robotic diaphragmatic endometriosis excision was successfully treated using a fibrin sealant patch, preventing exsanguination and conversion to laparotomy.
Case Description: A 36-year-old female with a history of recurrent catamenial pneumothorax and two prior video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries to treat diaphragmatic endometriosis presented to our clinic with right-sided shoulder pain and a chest tube in place.
