A cervical rib is the cause of about 5% of thoracic outlet syndromes (TOS). We report the case of a patient with arterial TOS due to the presence of a cervical rib, managed by combined thoracoscopic and supraclavicular approach. An 18 years old female patient presented with symptoms of arterial TOS.

Though advancements have been made in the pharmacologic treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG), surgical resection is not only an option as a last line of defense for those patients who do not respond to medical therapy but also remains vital for those with thymic epithelial tumors (TET). While prior studies have shown the potential superiority of minimally invasive approaches via robotic- and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS/VATS) for thymectomy compared to open surgery, in the setting of malignancies, this outcome delineation is controversial. As RATS/VATS may be associated with less post-operative complications in the treatment of TET, some surgeons argue that the open approach is necessary for complete resection (R0 resection) and to prevent potential seeding of the malignancy.

Intelligent manufacturing and green development are pivotal issues in China's pursuit of high-quality economic growth. As the core carrier of artificial intelligence-driven production transformations, industrial robots' role in synergizing enterprise pollution control and carbon reduction has rarely been discussed in the literature. Leveraging a unique micro dataset with robot adoption, energy use, emissions, and economic factors, this study investigates the impact and mechanisms of robot adoption on enterprise pollution abatement and carbon reduction.
