Traditionally, patients with a fracture of the distal radius are treated in a cast if they do not require surgery. If the fracture requires manipulation, the cast is moulded to hold the reduction and maintain normal anatomical alignment during healing. However, is a cast necessary for patients whose fracture does not require manipulation? Removable splints are an alternative treatment option.

Introduction: Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is a medical emergency where the lung collapses in the presence of underlying chronic lung disease. Current international clinical guidelines advise intercostal drain (ICD) insertion for SSP. However, in a previous small study needle aspiration (NA) has been shown to reduce length of hospital stay (LOHS) and reduce complications.

Background: Limited data exist on the reliability, efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided transbronchial cryobiopsy for suspicious mediastinal and hilar lesions. This study shares findings from implementing this method and compares the results with those of the standard endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA).

Methods: Patients undergoing diagnostic bronchoscopy for mediastinal or hilar lesions in four Swiss centres were included.

Article Synopsis
  • - Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is a serious respiratory issue in newborns that can lead to long-term health problems, prompting updates in care standards, particularly the 2015 Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) to improve outcomes.
  • - A 15-year study analyzed outcomes for MAS patients before and after the revised NRP, finding increased use of positive pressure ventilation in delivery rooms, but no significant changes in overall morbidity or clinical outcomes, except for improved acidosis and reduced hyperlactatemia.
  • - While the updated NRP did not negatively affect clinical outcomes, challenges like cerebral palsy and global development delays remain prevalent, highlighting the ongoing impact of MAS on health even after interventions.
