Spontaneous regression of malignant tumors is rare especially of lung tumor and biological mechanism of such remission has not been addressed. We report the case of a 79-year-old Korean patient with non-small cell lung cancer, squamous cell cancer with a right hilar tumor and multiple lymph nodes, lung to lung metastasis that spontaneously regressed without any therapies. He has sustained partial remission state for one year and eight months after the first histological diagnosis.

Objective: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common cerebrovascular disease characterized by high mortality and disability rates. Neuritin, significantly expressed in injured brain tissues, is implicated in the molecular mechanisms underlying acute brain injury. We aimed to explore the prognostic and predictive value of serum neuritin in ICH.

Background: Neonatal cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) occur infrequently, and during the initial phase, they often present without noticeable clinical symptoms, which can result in delays in both diagnosis and treatment. There has been relatively little research conducted on neonatal CMBs, with even less focus on their related risk factors. However, identifying risk factors and proactively preventing microbleeds is particularly crucial for effective treatment.

Introduction: Microcirculatory alterations are predictive of poor outcomes in patients with shock and after cardiac arrest in animal models. However, microcirculatory alterations during human cardiac arrest have not yet been studied.
Methods: We prospectively included adult patients receiving resuscitation after witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a key contributor to poor prognosis in liver cirrhosis. This study aims to leverage the database to build a predictive model for early identification of high-risk patients. From two sizable public databases, we retrieved pertinent information about the cirrhosis patients' therapies, comorbidities, laboratory results, and demographics.

Extubation failure rates are notably high in patients in neurointensive care. Ineffective cough is the variable independently associated with extubation failure, but its quantification remains challenging. Patients with primary central nervous system injury requiring invasive mechanical ventilation were included.
