Esophageal lung is an extremely rare type of bronchopulmonary foregut malformation where a main stem bronchus anomalously arises from the esophagus instead of the trachea. Less than 20 cases have been reported, and most of these are in association with esophageal atresia. Most cases are treated with detachment of the esophageal bronchus with repair of the esophagus and resection of the hypoplastic lung. Described herein are the presentation, diagnostic workup, and management of 2 such cases of esophageal lung.

Double cycling with breath-stacking during partial support ventilation in ARDS: Just a feature of natural variability?
Crit Care
January 2025
Departamento de Medicina, Hospital Clínico Universidad de Chile, Unidad de Pacientes Críticos, Dr. Carlos Lorca Tobar 999, Independencia, Santiago, Chile.
Background: Double cycling with breath-stacking (DC/BS) during controlled mechanical ventilation is considered potentially injurious, reflecting a high respiratory drive. During partial ventilatory support, its occurrence might be attributable to physiological variability of breathing patterns, reflecting the response of the mode without carrying specific risks.
Methods: This secondary analysis of a crossover study evaluated DC/BS events in hypoxemic patients resuming spontaneous breathing in cross-over under neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA), proportional assist ventilation (PAV +), and pressure support ventilation (PSV).
Impact and Durability of the Affordable Care Act Medicaid Expansion on Lung Cancer Treatment.

Department of Surgery, Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Background: Medicaid expansion began in 2014 after passage of the Affordable Care Act; however, the impact and durability of the effects on lung cancer treatment utilization are poorly defined. We aimed to determine whether there is a persistent difference in utilization of lung resection, lung biopsy, and nonoperative treatment of lung cancer in states participating in Medicaid expansion compared with states that are not.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was completed analyzing the difference in utilization between Medicaid expansion states and non-expansion states in 2012-2013, 2016-2017, and 2019.
Geographic Variation in the Utilization of Services Surrounding Lung Cancer Resection.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Division of Esophageal and Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Background: As value-based care models continue to gain emphasis, along with the need for improved profiling across the continuum of lung cancer care, a better understanding of geographic variation in utilization of services surrounding episodes of care is needed.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing lung cancer resection from 2017 to 2019, we examined geographic variation in utilization of services surrounding episodes of lung cancer resection. We utilized hierarchical logistic regression models to determine risk-adjusted utilization of services.
Variations in Perioperative Thromboprophylaxis Practices: Do the Guidelines Need a Closer Look?
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Hackensack Meridian Health Network, Hackensack, New Jersey.
Background: In 2022, the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) and the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) published joint guidelines regarding the timing, duration, and choice of agent for perioperative venous thromboembolism prophylaxis for thoracic cancer patients. Now, 1 year after their release, we looked to assess practices and general adherence to these recommendations.
Methods: We conducted a survey among board-certified/board-eligible thoracic surgeons in the United States, between July and October 2023.

OTU domain-containing protein 3 (OTUD3) is a crucial deubiquitinase that exhibits significant expression differences across various disease models. OTUD3 plays a role in regulating biological functions such as apoptosis, inflammatory responses, cell cycle, proliferation, and invasion in different cell types. By deubiquitinating key substrate proteins, OTUD3 is involved in essential physiological and pathological processes, including innate antiviral immunity, neural development, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer.
