Automated line-clearing chest tubes reduce postoperative pain and atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery.
JTCVS Open
December 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, Calif.
Objective: Recent advancements in chest tube technologies have gained interest for their ability to enhance postoperative recovery via reduction of retained blood syndrome after cardiothoracic surgery. The present study investigates the effect of the Centese Thoraguard automated line-clearance chest tube system on postoperative pain and recovery after cardiac surgery.
Methods: This was a single-center retrospective review of 1771 adult patients undergoing nonemergency cardiac surgery between January 2021 and December 2022.
International Expert Consensus on Relevant Health and Functioning Concepts to Assess in Users of Tobacco and Nicotine Products: Delphi Study.
JMIR Form Res
January 2025
PMI R&D, Philip Morris Product S.A., Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
Background: A Delphi study was conducted to reach a consensus among international clinical and health care experts on the most important health and functioning self-reported concepts when evaluating a switch from smoking cigarettes to using smoke-free tobacco and/or nicotine products (sf-TNPs).
Objective: The aim of this research was to identify concepts considered important to measure when assessing the health and functioning status of users of tobacco and/or nicotine products.
Methods: Experts (n=105), including health care professionals, researchers, and policy makers, from 26 countries with professional experience and knowledge of sf-TNPs completed a 3-round, adapted Delphi panel.
Can summary measures of magnitude and structure of trunk movement variability differentiate between people with and without chronic low back pain?
Clin Biomech (Bristol)
December 2024
Dept. of Human Movement Science, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam Movement Sciences, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Background: There is inconsistent evidence suggesting that people with chronic low back pain may differ in variability of repeated trunk movements compared to people without chronic low back pain. These inconsistencies may be due to low reliability and task dependence of movement variability measures, which can be addressed using multiple movement tasks and summary measures.
Methods: Participants with and without chronic low back pain were recruited.
Can Intrapleural Tissue Plasminogen Activator and Deoxyribonuclease Be Used to Treat Persistent Hemothorax After Robotic Lobectomy?
Cureus
November 2024
Cardiothoracic Surgery, Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville, Gainesville, USA.
Hemothorax is a serious complication following thoracic surgery, often resulting from vessel injury or rib fractures, and is typically managed with chest tube drainage. Persistent or loculated hemothorax, referred to as retained hemothorax, may require more invasive interventions, such as thoracotomy. Although the intrapleural administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and deoxyribonuclease (DNase) has shown promise in managing pleural infections, its use for hemothorax remains controversial due to bleeding risks.

Cancer Cell Int
December 2024
Department of Radiotherapy, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Radiation-induced lung injury is a common complication of chest tumor radiotherapy; however, effective clinical treatments are still lacking. Stem cell-derived exosomes, which contain various signaling molecules such as proteins, lipids, and miRNAs, not only retain the tissue repair and reconstruction properties of stem cells but also offer improved stability and safety. This presents significant potential for treating radiation-induced lung injury.
