Crit Care
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Linkou Medical Center, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Chang Gung University, No. 5, Fusing St, Guishan District, Taoyuan City, 33305, Taiwan.
Background: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) poses a considerable threat to hospitalized patients, leading to high mortality rates and severe neurological deficits among survivors. Despite the advancements in resuscitation practices, the prognosis of IHCA remains poor, and comprehensive studies exploring nationwide trends and long-term survival are scarce, particularly in the Asian populations.
Methods: Utilizing data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, we conducted a nationwide cohort study to analyze the IHCA events among adult patients between 2003 and 2020.
Breast Cancer Res
January 2025
Austrian Breast & Colorectal Cancer Study Group (ABCSG), Vienna, Austria.
Background: The PALLAS trial investigated the addition of palbociclib to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy to reduce breast cancer recurrence. This pre-specified analysis was conducted to determine whether adjuvant palbociclib benefited patients diagnosed with lower risk stage IIA disease compared to those with higher stage disease.
Methods: PALLAS was an international, multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase III trial, representing a public-private partnership between Pfizer, the Austrian Breast Cancer Study Group, and the U.
J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, 465 Kajii-cho, Kamigyo-ku, 602-8566, Kyoto, Japan.
Background: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the pleura are usually benign. We present a case of SFT of the pleura which grew rapidly after slow long-term progression.
Case Presentation: A 78-year-old man was referred to our hospital for left-sided back pain and shortness of breath.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Universidad Científica del Sur, Panamericana Sur Km 19, Villa, Lima, Peru.
Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) is a highly prevalent oral disease among children worldwide, arising from multiple contributing factors. This study aimed to investigate the sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with ECC in preschool children attending a hospital in Ica, Peru.
Methods: This observational cross-sectional study involved 186 children evaluated during two dental health campaigns organised by a hospital in Ica, Peru.
BMC Cancer
January 2025
Department of Ultrasonography, Clinical Oncology School of Fujian Medical University, Fujian Cancer Hospital, Fuzhou, 350014, China.
Background: Accurate identification of small metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) remains a significant challenge with conventional ultrasound (US) due to its limitations in sensitivity for smaller LNs. The use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), especially with perfluorobutane in the postvascular phase of CEUS, may improve the diagnosis of metastatic LNs in cancer patients. We sought to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of the postvascular phase of CEUS with perfluorobutane in identifying suspected small cervical LNs in cancer patients.
