Pharyngeal Complications Following Two-Jaw Surgery.
Cureus
December 2024
Section of Anesthesiology, Department of Diagnostics and General Care, Fukuoka Dental College, Fukuoka, JPN.
Objective: Two-jaw surgery corrects jaw deformities by adjusting occlusion and reshaping the jaw. This technique carries a high risk of pharyngolaryngeal injury due to frequent head and neck movements during intraoperative maneuvers and prolonged intubation, although the details remain unclear. This study explored the frequency and causes of postoperative pharyngeal complications following maxillary translocation.

Background: Penetrating neck injuries are rare and require urgent surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. This report highlights a unique case involving complex surgical repair of tracheal, esophageal, and vascular injuries following a homicidal assault, emphasizing the challenges and techniques used in managing such severe trauma.
Case Presentation: A 45-year-old female presented with a severe penetrating neck injury after an alleged homicidal assault with a knife.
Reliability of Tracheal Temperature as a Measurement of Core Body Temperature During Cardiac Surgery Using Cardiopulmonary Bypass.

: To compare tracheal temperature (T) with nasopharyngeal temperature (T) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). : T was measured using a thermistor in the cuff of an endotracheal tube and T was monitored using an esophageal stethoscope. Depending on the management of the CPB strategy, the operation was divided into four periods (pre-CPB, cooling, rewarming, and post-CPB).

Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, School of Medicine, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, No. 155, Sec. 2, Li-Nung Street, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC.
Background: Despite the fact that an increasing number of studies have focused on developing therapies for acute lung injury, managing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a challenge in intensive care medicine. Whether the pathology of animal models with acute lung injury in prior studies differed from clinical symptoms of ARDS, resulting in questionable management for human ARDS. To evaluate precisely the therapeutic effect of transplanted stem cells or medications on acute lung injury, we developed an animal model of severe ARDS with lower lung function, capable of keeping the experimental animals survive with consistent reproducibility.

Section of Infectious Diseases, Department of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine and Children's Hospital Colorado, Aurora, Colorado.
Background: Bacterial lower respiratory tract infection, particularly ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children who require mechanical ventilation (MV). Microbiologic diagnosis has relied on bacterial culture, but reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with bacterial targets is now available for clinical use. We compared the diagnostic performance of tracheal aspirate (TA) multiplex RT-PCR to culture in children requiring MV with suspected lower respiratory tract infection.
