AI Article Synopsis
- Atkinson tubes are used endoscopically to help relieve blockages caused by esophageal cancer.
- A new technique using a dilation balloon catheter was created to reposition or remove dislocated tubes successfully.
- Out of the cases treated, there was a minor complication of two patients coughing up a small amount of blood.
Article Abstract
Atkinson tubes are inserted endoscopically for palliation of obstructing esophageal carcinoma. A technique was developed to reposition or remove dislocated tubes that involves the use of a dilation balloon catheter. The technique was successful in treating three partially dislocated tubes and one of two completely dislocated tubes (tubes completely dislodged into the stomach). The only complication occurred in two patients who coughed up a small amount of blood.

Recent Developments in Plastic Deformation Behavior of Titanium and Its Alloys During the Rolling Process: A Review.

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are used in various applications, including aircraft frames, ship parts, heat exchangers, and evaporator tubes, because of their extraordinary properties, such as high specific strength, excellent corrosion resistance at high temperatures, good castability, and weldability. Plastic deformation plays a crucial role in securing the appropriate microstructure and strength of Ti and alloys in these applications. The rolling process, one of the most useful methods for plastic deformation, causes efficient deformation inside the materials, resulting in grain refinement, dislocation slip, and twinning.

Numerous patients stand to gain significant health benefits from enteral nutrition support facilitated by percutaneous feeding tubes. Consequently it is crucial for endoscopists, general practitioners, surgeons and neurologists to be well-versed with indications, contraindications and potential complications of PEG and other enteral feeding tubes. In this context we present a concise overview of the new national guidelines by the Swedish Society of Gastroenterology regarding the management of PEG and other enteral feeding tubes.

Department of Ophthalmology, Taizhou Central Hospital (Taizhou University Hospital), Taizhou, China.
Background: A common complication of bicanalicular intubation is dislocation of the silicone tube.
Methods: Eleven patients with prolapsed silicone tubes who had undergone bicanalicular nasal intubation were injected with a 2 per cent lidocaine solution to infiltrate the lacrimal duct mucosa. A memory wire probe was used to pull a 4-0 suture through the lacrimal passage retrogradely, allowing the suture to grab the silicone tube.
