The paper describes the results of study of 71 patients with chronic diseases of the lungs. The methods of investigation were directed at eliciting changes in extravascular, vascular and intravascular factors of the microcirculatory system. Considerable disorders of the microcirculation have been found in respiratory insufficiency and their dependence of the stage of insufficiency. Comparison of the degree of microcirculatory shifts with the gaseous composition of the blood and the acid-base balance has been made. The stages of microcirculatory changes run parallel to the severity of respiratory insufficiency, and the causes leading to pathology of microcirculation in respiratory insufficiency are multifactorial in character, the main being changes in the gaseous composition of the blood.

Purpose: Pneumonia, respiratory failure, and fracture are common and highly burdensome for adults with cerebral palsy (CP). To date, there are no clinically friendly tools to assess individualized risk of these outcomes for adults with CP. The objective was to develop and validate prognostic models for 5-year risk of pneumonia, respiratory failure/collapse, and fracture for adults with CP.

Purpose: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have been noted to face increased cancer incidence. Yet, the impact of concomitant renal dysfunction on acute outcomes following elective surgery for cancer remains to be elucidated.
Methods: All adult hospitalizations entailing elective resection for lung, esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, hepatic, or colon cancer were identified in the 2016-2020 National Inpatient Sample.

Objectives: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the feasibility of surgical closure of ventricular septal defect in children with trisomy 18 by assessing perioperative events and long-term survival.
Methods: From April 2008 to March 2024, 41 consecutive patients were referred to us for ventricular septal defect surgery. The defect was closed in 35 patients at the end (median age, 16 months; median body weight, 5.

Adult patients with central airway tumors commonly present with dyspnea on exertion. These patients may remain asymptomatic until more than half of the airway diameter is obliterated. Anesthesia for debulking a central airway tumor is challenging.
