Complications of pneumothorax in computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle biopsy and prognostic factors: study on patients with tumor-like lung lesions.

Board of Directors, Thu Duc City Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Background: Transthoracic biopsy has proven to be an effective procedure, especially for peripheral lung lesions, in obtaining samples that can definitively diagnose the underlying pathology. Despite its effectiveness, studies have demonstrated that it is associated with complications such as pneumothorax and hemoptysis. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of these complications and identify prognostic factors in patients who underwent a transthoracic biopsy.

Objectives: Basilic vein transposition (BVT) surgery is a crucial option for vascular access in hemodialysis patients when other alternatives are unavailable. One of the primary complications affecting the long-term function of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) is the development of pseudoaneurysms, often caused by repeated punctures at the same site. This study aims to evaluate whether increasing the length of the basilic vein available for cannulation during the second stage of BVT surgery reduces the risk of puncture-related pseudoaneurysms, thereby improving fistula longevity and functionality.

Introduction: Mild-to-moderate blepharoptosis can be aesthetically displeasing for patients, particularly in cases involving a single eyelid. However, certain patients are reluctant to undergo surgical intervention. Botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) injection offers a potential solution in such cases.

Objective: To assess the diagnostic success rate and complications of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous biopsy in pulmonary nodules < 10 mm in diameter.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center study involving the review of medical records, images, and chest CT reports related to 115 patients who underwent percutaneous CT-guided biopsy of < 10 mm pulmonary nodules between July 2015 and January 2019.
Results: Nodule diameter on the longest axis ranged from 4 mm to 9 mm, with a mean size of 7.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to identify errors in transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-based reconstructions for high-dose-rate brachytherapy in prostate cancer, using an electromagnetic tracking (EMT) system to enhance accuracy during treatment.
- - Out of 265 evaluated needle reconstructions, 23% had minor errors or worse, with 9% classified as major or severe, primarily due to issues like incorrect needle placement and user errors.
- - The findings indicate that one-quarter of the reconstructions had errors exceeding 2mm, highlighting the potential of EMT to help detect and prevent these mistakes, improving patient care without affecting the clinical process.
