Impending Myasthenic Crisis (MC) is defined as a rapid worsening of myasthenia gravis (MG) that can progress to respiratory failure within days to weeks. The clinical data regarding the outcome and peripheral immune profile is limited. This multicenter cohort enrolled 37 patients with impending MC who were given timely rescue therapies from six university hospitals (n = 272). The transformation rate in the impending MC cohort to manifest MC was 24.32 % (9/37). Compared with those who have transformed to MC, the untransformed patients manifested a shorter hospital stay (13.98 ± 15.22 vs. 22.00 ± 16.03 days, P = 0.004), a lower baseline MG Quality of Life 15 (QOL-15) (23.42 ± 14.32 vs. 38.44 ± 13.56, P = 0.006), and shorter disease duration (29.30 ± 46.05 vs. 88.00 ± 71.43 months, P = 0.003). Peripheral CD4 T profiling revealed an elevated Th17 proportion in impending crisis compared with healthy controls (22.33 ± 6.58 vs. 15.06 ± 4.35, P = 0.0006). Impending MC can be effectively prevented from transforming into manifest MC with rescue therapies.

Background: Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is more precise and flexible than video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. This study compared the early postoperative functional recovery of patients who underwent triportal RATS with that of patients who underwent uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (UVATS) for segmentectomy.
Methods: This observational, prospective study included 172 patients with clinical stage I or II peripheral NSCLC who underwent RATS or UVATS segmentectomy.

A global treatment algorithm was developed for the endovascular revascularization of femoropopliteal lesions and chronic total occlusions, aiming toward a more standardized approach to endovascular treatment in patients with peripheral artery disease. The following steps are proposed. 1) Evaluation of lesion morphology based on preprocedural imaging by Duplex sonography and intravenous ultrasound for selection of lesion preparation tools.

Background: Frailty has been reported as a predictor of adverse outcomes after various surgical procedures. There are several models for defining frailty, including 5-factor modified frailty index, clinical frailty scale, and psoas muscle index. Low psoas muscle index has been associated with higher postoperative mortality and complications after various surgical procedures.

Background: Rural areas have higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and age-adjusted mortality rates in the general population. However, the impact of rurality on CVD development and outcomes in patients with prostate cancer (PC) remains unclear.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective cohort study used the SEER-Medicare database to analyze males aged ≥65 years diagnosed with PC between 2009 and 2017.

Background: Children living with HIV are at higher risk for hearing loss compared to children with HIV-unexposed, uninfected (HUU). There is little known regarding the effects of children living with perinatally-acquired HIV (PHIV) and those living with perinatal HIV exposure but uninfected (PHEU) on central auditory function.
Methods: Children aged 11-14 years who were participating in the Auditory Research in Children with HIV study.
