Published: June 2011

Foreign body aspiration is a frequent cause of hospitalization in pediatric ENT units. Pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema are possible complications of tracheobronchoscopy with foreign body removal, but it is rare, that the foreign body causes the complications itself. The authors present a very rare case of a soft bronchial foreign body aspiration in a child with such complications.

Introduction: Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) with internal bracing and augmentation using tape-type sutures (TTS) has gained popularity due to its biomechanical advantages. However, concerns have emerged regarding chronic reactive synovitis, which can lead to graft failure and the need for revision surgery. The purpose of this research is to determine the prevalence of chronic reactive synovitis after TTS-reinforced ACLR.

Aspirated foreign bodies in children: 10-Years experience in a single tertiary centre in New Zealand.

Objective: Aspirated foreign bodies (FB) are potentially life-threatening conditions which can be challenging to diagnose in children. The previous similar study from our hospital, published in 2014, created a guideline suggesting when to proceed to laryngobronchoscopy (LB) in suspected FB aspiration with over 99 % sensitivity. The grading system included the presence or absence of acute history, positive examination, and/or radiological findings, including witnessed choking, dysphonia, stridor, wheezing, or reduced air entry on examination or abnormal radiological findings.

Foreign body giant cells (FBGCs) are crucial in the foreign body reaction at the biomaterial-tissue interface, forming through the fusion of cells from the monocyte/macrophage lineage and performing functions such as material degradation and fibrous encapsulation. Yet, their presence and role in biomaterials research is only slowly unveiled. This review analyzed existing FBGC literature identified through a search string and sources from FBGC articles to evaluate the most commonly used methods and highlight the challenges in establishing a standardized protocol.
