Background: To date, there remains a paucity of comparative investigations pertaining to preoperative immunochemotherapy and conventional chemotherapy in the context of limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) patients. This study conducted a comprehensive comparative assessment concerning the safety and efficacy profiles of preoperative immunochemotherapy and chemotherapy in individuals diagnosed with stage I-IIIB SCLC.
Methods: This investigation collected 53 consecutive patients diagnosed with LS-SCLC spanning stage I to IIIB who underwent preoperative immunochemotherapy or conventional chemotherapy at our hospital from January 2019 to July 2021.

Background: Carinal resection and reconstruction are complex surgical procedures often necessitated by tumors or other pathologies involving the tracheobronchial junction. Traditional approaches to these surgeries are highly invasive. The advent of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) along with the integration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) offer potential advantages in reducing surgical trauma and improving outcomes.

Background: The long-term effects of early left ventricular unloading after venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) remain unclear.
Methods: The EARLY-UNLOAD trial was a single-center, investigator-initiated, open-label, randomized clinical trial involving 116 patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) undergoing VA-ECMO. The patients were randomly assigned to undergo either early routine left ventricular unloading by transseptal left atrial cannulation within 12 hours after randomization or the conventional approach, which permitted rescue transseptal cannulation in case of an increased left ventricular afterload.
