Background: Kinesio taping® (KT) could facilitate respiratory muscle contraction, improving breathing. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the immediate effects of KT application on thoracoabdominal mobility, vital capacity, and respiratory muscle strength of healthy young individuals.
Methods: This clinical trial included 19 healthy individuals, measuring their maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure, vital capacity, and thoracoabdominal mobility using cirtometry.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Sapporo Medical University School of Medicine, Sapporo, Japan.
This case involved an 89-year-old woman with a history of left nephrectomy for left renal cell carcinoma at the age of 87 years. She had been gradually accumulating pericardial effusion for the past 4 years. She presented with signs of tachycardia and hypotension suggestive of cardiac tamponade due to pericardial effusion, and pericardiocentesis was performed below the xiphoid process in the cardiology department.

Adhesive-augmented sternal fixation (AASF) has been investigated as an alternative to the clinical standard of cerclage wires; however, previous studies have focused on a full adhesive layer across the sternal midline, which acts as a barrier to bone healing. This study used a human cadaveric model to investigate if partial coverage AASF used in combination with wired fixation could provide adequate stability. Median sternotomies were performed on fifteen human cadaveric sterna.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
