Bronchial carcinoids are rare, well-differentiated, neuroendocrine malignant tumors and account for 5% of all lung neoplasms. The standard of care for the carcinoid tumors has been surgical resection. Various interventional bronchoscopic techniques are available for the treatment of intraluminal carcinoid. One of these new techniques with less complication is argon plasma coagulation. In this study, we report a case of huge endobronchial carcinoid tumor referred to us from the thoracic surgery ward, which was not surgically resectable. The tumor was treated successfully with argon plasma coagulation.

Introduction: Thermal ablative methods (such as argon plasma coagulation (APC) and soft tip snare coagulation (STSC) are commonly used to treat polyp margins. We aim to appraise the current literature and compare clinical outcomes between patients with treated (with APC vs. STSC) and non-treated endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) margins.

In this work, within the framework of a self-consistent model of arc discharge, a simulation of plasma parameters in a mixture of argon and methane was carried out, taking into account the evaporation of the electrode material in the case of a refractory and non-refractory cathode. It is shown that in the case of a refractory tungsten cathode, almost the same methane conversion rate is observed, leading to similar values in the density of the main methane conversion products (C, C, H) at different values of the discharge current density. However, with an increase in the current density, the evaporation rate of copper atoms from the anode increases, and a jump in the - characteristic is observed, caused by a change in the plasma-forming ion.

Machine learning potential energy functions can drive the atomistic dynamics of molecules, clusters, and condensed phases. They are amongst the first examples that showed how quantum mechanics together with machine learning can predict chemical reactions as well as material properties and even lead to new materials. In this work, we study the behaviour of tungsten trioxide (WO) surfaces upon particle impact by employing potential energy surfaces represented by neural networks.

Inductively coupled plasma-reactive etching (ICP-RIE) of InGaZnO (IGZO) thin films was studied with variations in gas mixtures of hydrochloride (HCl) and argon (Ar). The dry etching characteristics of the IGZO films were investigated according to radiofrequency bias power, gas mixing ratio, and chamber pressure. The IGZO film showed an excellent etch rate of 83.
