This retrospective survey that is about the adult's non traumatic thoracic pains has been achieved during one period of three months in the service of the emergencies of the hospitable and academic center of Brazzaville. Her goal was to determine the prevalence of the thoracic pains, to specify their causes and the place of the cardiovascular diseases. We collected 88 cases left in 40 men (45.5%) and 48 women (54.5%). The sex-ratio was of 1.2. The middle age of the population of survey was of 38.8+/-17.3 years (extreme 18 and 74 years). The prevalence of the non traumatic thoracic pains was of 9.1%. Twenty-one patients (23.9%) were HIV, 9 patients (10.2%) were active smoke or weaned since less than three years. The associated signs were represented by the fever in 42 cases (47.7%), the dyspnoea in 37 cases (42%) and the cough in 33 cases (37.5%). The main diseases was represented by the respiratory diseases in 52 cases (59%), the oesophagus and gastric diseases in 16 cases (18.2%) and the cardiovascular disease in 10 cases (11.4%). The treatment analgesic has been used among 44 patients (50%) outside of the treatment of causes. The middle length of hospitalization in the service of the emergencies was of 25.7+/-8.3 hours, with the extremes of 12 and 48 hours. No deaths have been recorded.

Trauma causes the breakdown of membrane phospholipids and the subsequent degradation of the released polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to partially bioactive oxylipins. Here, we screened for circulating PUFAs and oxylipins in patients (n = 34) differing from those of uninjured controls (n = 25) and analyzed their diagnostic potential. Patients were followed up for 1 to 240 h after minor/moderate, severe, and very severe injuries.

: Rib fractures are common in patients with trauma, and patients with multiple rib fractures often require surgical stabilization. Because rib fractures may occur at different sites along the ribs, the technical approach to surgical stabilization varies. Here, we present a case of posterior rib fractures with multiple paraspinal fragmented rib segments that were successfully treated with costovertebral plate fixation.

: The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on mental health in the general population. The fear, stress, and uncertainty surrounding that traumatic period could have contributed to the aggravation or possible new onset of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The COvid Mental hEalth Trial (COMET) is a nationwide project organized by the University of Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli", designed as an observational investigation that aimed to gather data from a representative sample of the Italian general population.

The purpose of this study was to present the surgical technique of Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic (UBE) decompression combined with percutaneous pedicle screws for the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures with secondary spinal stenosis. Thoracolumbar burst fracture is a common traumatic disease in spinal surgery. In the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO) classification of thoracolumbar fractures, Type A fractures have the highest incidence, accounting for about 70%, with A1 and A3 types being the most common.

Despite significant advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapies, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) continues to present a global health challenge, with a modest five-year survival rate of 28 %, largely due to the emergence of treatment-resistant and metastatic tumors. In response, we synthesized a novel bioactive compound, ethyl 6-chlorocoumarin-3-carboxylyl L-theanine (TClC), which significantly inhibited NSCLC growth, epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, and invasion and tumor growth and metastasis without inducing toxicity. TClC disrupts autocrine loops that promote tumor progression, particularly in stem-like CD133-positive NSCLC (CD133+ LC) cells, which are pivotal in tumor metastasis.
