Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Freiburg Heart Centre, Freiburg, Germany, University of Freiburg, Faculty of Medicine, Freiburg, Germany.
Objectives: Evidence for different surveillance protocols following aortic treatment is still lacking. Aim of this study was to analyze the clinical relevance of a first follow-up visit after 6 months.
Methods: Between 01/2018 and 12/2019, 464 patients treated for non-emergent aortic pathologies were retrospectively analysed.

Pneumothorax, a life-threatening condition characterized by air accumulation in the pleural cavity, requires early and accurate detection for optimal patient outcomes. Chest X-ray radiographs are a common diagnostic tool due to their speed and affordability. However, detecting pneumothorax can be challenging for radiologists because the sole visual indicator is often a thin displaced pleural line.

Traditionally, the procedure involves a long single incision in the thigh to harvest the femoral vein, but this approach is associated with increased risks of local complications such as infections and haematomas. Skip incisions have shown to lower complication rates and shorten maturation times.

Background: Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are a cornerstone of adjuvant systemic therapy for postmenopausal patients with hormone-receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer. Although AIs decrease cancer recurrence rates and improve survival rates, approximately 50 % of patients experience arthralgia-persistent pain related to worse patient outcomes and poor AI adherence. Current medical interventions for AI-associated arthralgia have limited efficacy and side effects that restrict their use among older patients.

Background: Pre-operative detection of skip metastasis in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is significant in preventing recurrence. The study aimed to investigate the characteristics and prognosis of skip metastasis to lateral neck in PTC patients by a cross-sectional study.
Methods: Between 2013 and 2016, 494 patients who underwent thyroidectomy for PTC and positive lateral lymph node metastases (LLNM) were retrospectively identified.
