Surgical Fixation of Flail Chest Injuries: Reduction and Fixation Options, Tips and Tricks.
J Orthop Trauma

Modern techniques of rib fracture fixation surgery follow the AO principles of fracture reduction, fixation, and appropriate soft tissue handling. Fixation techniques can be performed using anatomic reduction and rigid fixation, or bridge plate fixation for comminuted fractures. Anatomic and nonanatomic plates can be used, although titanium precontoured locking plates are the most commonly used.

Lexington Clinic, Lexington, Kentucky.
Case: A 75-year-old woman status post total shoulder arthroplasty and posterior rib resection 29 years previously experienced a low-energy intrathoracic scapular dislocation (ISD). Closed reduction under anesthesia was unsuccessful, and she required open surgical repair performed by a novel modification of Kibler's technique for medial scapular muscle repair.
Conclusion: This case is unique because increased range of motion after successful arthroplasty allowed her shoulder to flex forward enough to result in ISD.
Model based care in the ICU: A review of potential combined cardio-pulmonary models.

Positive end-expiratory pressure results in a sustained positive intrathoracic pressure, which exerts pressure on intrathoracic vessels, resulting in cardiopulmonary interactions. This sustained positive intrathoracic pressure is known to decrease cardiac preload, and thus, decrease venous return, ultimately reducing both the stroke volume and stressed blood volume of the cardiovascular system. Currently, cardiovascular and pulmonary care are provided independently of one another.

Division of Pathology, Kanagawa Children's Medical Center, Yokohama, Japan.
Purpose: Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is an infrequently encountered childhood malignant intrathoracic neoplasm associated with unfavorable clinical behavior. Since a well-characterized preclinical model is essential for developing competent agents for PPB, we aim to establish and characterize the world's first cell line of PPB, and attempt to perform the cytotoxicity assay on the PPB cell line.
Experimental Design: The index case is a 2-year-old female who developed a right thoracic tumor that was surgically removed and treated with multi-agent chemotherapy.
Imaging of ventilation and lung injury with low-frequency tomographic ultrasound.

Article Synopsis
- Mechanical ventilation is crucial for treating acute respiratory failure but has high complication risks, especially in injured lungs, highlighting the need for better monitoring methods in the ICU.
- Traditional ultrasound faces challenges in lung imaging due to limited penetration and the requirement for skilled technicians, while low-frequency ultrasound offers a promising alternative by detecting airflow issues.
- This study successfully demonstrates a novel low-frequency ultrasound computed tomographic method to visualize airflow changes in a live pig model, marking a significant advancement in understanding ventilation-related lung conditions.*
