A 22-year-old woman visited a hospital to treat her dyspnea which had lasted for some months. Chest X-ray showed hyperlucency in her left upper lung field and chest computed tomography suggested left upper bronchial obstruction with mucoid impaction. She was referred to our hospital for further examination and treatment. Bronchoscopy showed left upper lobar bronchial atresia. Considering her dyspnea worsened in relatively short terms, surgical treatment was chosen and the resection of left upper division was successfully performed.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of combination therapy based on motion feedback training in patients recovering from ischemic stroke.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 205 patients in the recovery phase of ischemic stroke admitted between June 2022 and June 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: the conventional treatment group (n=101), receiving standard care, and the combination therapy group (n=104), receiving additional motion feedback training for 30 days.

The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a widely-used mechanical circulatory support device that enhances hemodynamics in patients with heart conditions. Although the IABP is a common clinical tool, its effectiveness in enhancing outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock remains disputed. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of intra-aortic dual-balloon pump (IADBP) and its impact on aortic hemodynamics compared with an IABP.
