Background: Laparoscopic anatomical liver resection has become more challenging because some subsegmental Glissonean pedicles are hard to dissect. Here, we introduce how to dissect every (sub) segmental Glissonean pedicle from the first porta hepatis and perform standardized (sub) segmentectomy [from segment 1 (S1) to S8].
Aim: To summarize our methods of laparoscopic anatomical segmental and subsegmental liver resection.
Methods: The Glisson sheath and liver capsule were separated along the Laennec membrane. The Glissonean pedicle could be isolated and transected with little or no parenchymal damage through this extra-Glissonean dissection approach. The basin of the (sub) segment was determined by the ischemia demarcation line or indocyanine green staining. The hepatic vein or intersegmental vein was also used to guide the plane of parenchymal transection.
Results: All segmental or subsegmental pedicles or even the pedicle of the cone unit could be dissected along the Laennec membrane using our novel technique through the first porta hepatis. The dorsal branches of S8, the branches of S4a and the paracaval portion branches (b/c vein) of the caudate lobe were the most difficult to dissect.
Conclusion: The novel techniques of liver segmental and subsegmental pedicle anatomy is feasible for laparoscopic liver resection and can help accurately guide (sub) segmentectomy from S1 to S8.

Spirometry estimation of central airway dysanapsis on computed tomography in healthy subjects without active lung diseases.

The original concept of the airway-to-lung size mismatch, termed dysanapsis, was introduced on spirometry and was extended by computed tomography (CT) evaluation of the central airways. CT-assessed dysanapsis allows a risk estimation of lung disease development in healthy subjects, although radiation exposure limits its use, particularly for younger subjects. This study investigated which spirometry indices can be used to estimate CT-assessed central airway dysanapsis in healthy subjects.

Article Synopsis
- A 16-year-old female, who had been diagnosed with bilateral sub-segmental pulmonary emboli, experienced cardiogenic shock due to weakened heart function.
- Cardiac MRI revealed signs of possible microvascular injury to her coronary arteries.
- She was ultimately diagnosed with ischaemic cardiomyopathy caused by catastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, which might be linked to an underlying autoimmune connective tissue disease.

Comparison of ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy and pulmonary CT angiography: Findings in the diagnosis of CTEPH and CTED.

Objective: Despite the high sensitivity and specificity of ventilation/perfusion (VQ) scintigraphy in the diagnosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and chronic thromboembolic disease (CTED), V/Q scintigraphy cannot distinguish whether the thrombus is acute or chronic. In our study, we aimed to compare pulmonary computed tomography angiography (CTA) findings with V/Q scintigraphy findings in CTEPH and CTED patients and to identify findings that would indicate chronic thrombus.
Subjects And Methods: Eighteen patients diagnosed with CTEPH and CTED at our institution were included in the study between January 2020 and January 2024.
Vascular irregularities in COVID-19: findings on computed tomography pulmonary angiography.

Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics and meaning of the vessel wall irregularities sign, observed on computed tomography angiography of the pulmonary arteries of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study of the computed tomography pulmonary angiography findings of 65 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 included 27 women and 38 men, with a median age of 52 years (range, 20-86 years). The diagnosis of COVID-19 was established through reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction for infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
