Objectives: Intralobar pulmonary sequestration (ILS) is rare and its optimal clinical management remains ambiguous. This study aimed to introduce our 10-year experience in clinical management of ILS. And the application of our novel surgical method, thoracoscopic anatomical lesion resection (TALR) on ILS was introduced.
Materials And Methods: Patients with ILS who received treatment between December 2010 and 2020 were included in this study, retrospectively. A binary logistic regression model was used to assess risk factors for preoperative symptoms. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were compared between the thoracoscopic lobectomy and lung-sparing surgery groups.
Results: A total of 112 patients were included in this study. Age and maximum cyst diameter were risk factors for preoperative symptoms. Lung-sparing surgery proved to be safe and feasible with no residual lesions.
Conclusions: The overall prognosis of early thoracoscopic surgery for ILS was good. Lung-sparing surgery, especially TALR could be used as a first-line surgery for ILS. It may resolve the long-standing controversy over whether surgery for asymptomatic patients with ILS.

Myocardial Injury after Noncardiac Surgery (MINS) is an increasingly recognized complication that significantly impacts postoperative morbidity and mortality. Characterized by elevated cardiac troponin levels without overt ischemic symptoms, MINS presents a challenge in perioperative care. This review article explores the epidemiology, etiology, and management of MINS, with a particular focus on prevention and the latest management strategies.

Background: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is characterized by recurrent sprains and persistent symptoms, which impair postural control. This study evaluates the diagnostic utility of various linear and nonlinear postural stability measures in distinguishing individuals with CAI from healthy controls.
Methods: Postural stability was assessed in 24 participants (12 with CAI and 12 healthy controls) using a force platform under four conditions: hard surface with eyes open, hard surface with eyes closed, soft surface with eyes open, and soft surface with eyes closed.
Superficial arteriovenous malformations are rare fast-flow lesions. They consist of arteriovenous shunts, without cellular hyperplasia or proliferation, which develop in the surrounding tissues (cutaneous, subcutaneous, muscular, bone). Although benign, they are among the most severe of superficial malformations.

Objective: To investigate the effects of modified twin-block appliances (MTBA) on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and mandibular retrognathia and the changes in the upper airway, hyoid bone position, and hypoxia-related inflammatory marker levels in children with OSA.
Methods: This study included children with OSA and mandibular retrognathia and those with class I without mandibular retrognathia (n = 35 each). The experimental group comprised children with OSA and mandibular retrognathia managed using MTBA.
