Background: Removal of intratracheal tumors is challenging due to the difficulty in securing a patent airway before surgery. We report a case of successful removal using jet ventilation with an injection-time-controllable manual jet ventilator.
Case: A 3.3 cm long intratracheal mass was located 5 cm below the vocal cords and obstructing 70-80% of the trachea. Following induction, a rigid telescope under suspension laryngoscopy was used to guide the careful insertion of a hard and long catheter (inner diameter: 1.8 mm; outer diameter: 3 mm; length: 50 cm) beyond the tumor, enabling jet ventilation. The soft, lobulated mass was gradually excised using long forceps under endoscopic visualization. Anesthesia was maintained using total intravenous anesthesia. The operation lasted for 1 h and 45 min.
Conclusions: This device ensured oxygenation and ventilation during the endoscopic removal of a large intratracheal tumor. This approach highlights its utility in managing challenging airway obstructions.

In the field of surface synthesis, various reactions driven by the catalytic effect of metal substrates, particularly the Ullmann reaction, have been thoroughly investigated. The Wurtz reaction facilitates the coupling of alkyl halides through the removal of halogen atoms with a low energy barrier on the surface; however, the preparation of novel carbon nanostructures via the Wurtz reaction has been scarcely reported. Here, we report the successful synthesis of ethyl-bridged binaphthyl molecular chains on Ag(111) at room temperature via the Wurtz reaction.

Case Report: We present the successful management of the consequences of voluntary knife ingestion in a 24-year-old male with undocumented psychiatric disorders. The patient was admitted to the emergency department with a fistulized epigastric skin abscess, with the tip of a knife protruding from it. This extraordinary case involved the migration of an ingested knife, which perforated the stomach and externalized through an epigastric abscess.
