Background: Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has emerged as a minimally invasive percutaneous procedure addressing neuropathic pain. However, the percutaneous cylindrical lead ultrasound-guided implantation procedure requires expertise that limits widespread PNS utilization. To overcome these challenges, a microinvasive endoscopy device has very recently been developed, enhancing the precision of PNS implantation by providing accurate visualization of the targeted nerve.

The advancement of micro-invasive cardiac surgery techniques has introduced a viable alternative to conventional full-sternotomy operations. These approaches are designed to reduce tissue trauma, shorten recovery time, and meet the increasing demand for less invasive treatment options. In this review, we discuss current progresses in endoscopic micro-invasive cardiac surgery, which utilizes refined tools and advanced imaging technologies to perform complex heart procedures, including valve surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting, and congenital defect corrections.

Purpose: To compare mammography, breast ultrasound (US), high-resolution diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI), dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI (DCE-MRI), and their combinations for detecting clinically occult early breast cancers (EBCs), including ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
Methods: Three hundred and three consecutive women with screening imaging-detected early breast cancers (60 pure DCIS, 36 DCIS with microinvasion, and 207 invasive carcinoma less than 20 mm) who underwent breast MRI at 3 T including DW-MRI (b-values of 0, 800 and 1200 s/mm; in-plane resolution, 1.1 × 1.

The use of bioprostheses is increasing in younger patients, but it is associated with the risk of later valve deterioration, especially in the mitral position. A new bioprosthesis for mitral valve replacement offers possible longer-term durability and improved hemodynamics. : Here, we report the implantation of the novel Edwards MITRIS RESILIA mitral valve (Edwards Lifesciences Inc.
