Unilateral pulmonary edema after minimally invasive cardiac surgery is a rare, but potentially life-threatening condition. However, the exact causes of unilateral pulmonary edema remain unclear. We experienced aggressive unilateral pulmonary edema followed by redo-resection of recurrent left atrial myxoma through a right mini-thoracotomy. Intraoperative veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was applied after the termination of cardiopulmonary bypass, and separate mechanical ventilation using a double-lumen endotracheal tube was applied after surgery. The patient was successfully treated and discharged uneventfully.

Background: Unilateral pulmonary artery discontinuity (UPAD) is a rare fetal abnormality, for which a prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis remains challenging. We report a case of left pulmonary artery discontinuity in association with Taussig-Bing syndrome, which has rarely been reported in the literature thus far.

New evidence for baroreflex and respiratory chemoreflex mediated cerebral sympathetic activation in humans.

The brain is highly innervated by sympathetic nerve fibres; however, their physiological purpose is poorly understood. We hypothesized that unilateral cerebral norepinephrine (NE) spillover, an index of cerebral sympathetic nerve activity (SNA), would be elevated when engaging the baroreflex [via lower-body negative pressure (LBNP; -20 and -40 Torr)] and respiratory chemoreflexes [via carbon dioxide (CO) administration (+8 Torr)], independently, and in combination. Twelve young and healthy participants (5 females) underwent simultaneous blood sampling from the right radial artery and internal jugular vein.

Objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a common treatment for motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease but its influence on non-motor symptoms is less clear. Sleep spindles are known to be reduced in patients with Parkinson's disease, but the effect of STN DBS is unknown. The objective of our study was to address this knowledge gap.
