An endotracheal tube containing pH sensors for rapid detection of episodic acid aspiration was combined with a design that provides a means of suctioning tracheal residue resulting from gastric regurgitation and aspiration. The efficacy of the tube operation was demonstrated in two patients who aspirated gastric contents.

Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the effects of drinking 250 mL of 5% glucose solution 2-3 hours before elective gastric cancer surgery, comparing it to traditional fasting methods used in a control group.
- Results showed no significant difference in preoperative gastric residual volume or pH between the glucose and control groups, indicating safety and effectiveness.
- Patients who consumed the glucose solution reported significantly lower thirst and hunger levels, suggesting improved preoperative comfort without increasing the risk of complications.
Postmortem or Perimortem Injury? Presentation of an incredible court case in which flames are the protagonists of a murder.

Background: Establishing the cause of death when analysing burnt human remains is limiting due to thermal degradation. The heat generated by high combustion degrades the bone structure, definitively hiding the perimortem trauma in most cases, which is crucial for solving a court case.
Case Report: In November 2019, a completely burnt corpse was found inside a car set on fire near a location in Reggio Calabria, Italy.
Fiberoptic Endoscopy Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) Findings Associated with High Pneumonia Risk in a Cohort of Patients at Risk of Dysphagia.

Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de La Sabana, Chia, Cundinamarca, Colombia.
Aspiration detected in the fiberoptic endoscopy evaluation of swallowing (FEES) has been inconsistently associated with pneumonia, with no evidence of the risk of pneumonia from other alterations in swallowing safety detected in FEES. We conducted a dynamic, ambidirectional cohort study involving 148 subjects at risk of dysphagia in a tertiary university hospital. Our aim was to determine the risk of pneumonia attributed to alterations in swallowing safety detected during FEES.

Tracheobronchial ruptures can be extremely dramatic and life threatening and are encountered in approximately 5 out of 100,000 cases after orotracheal intubation. They can occur as a result of intubation, tracheostomy, and bronchoscopy. In this case report, we presented a 56-year-old female patient with a history of thyroid surgery 27 years prior who presented to our clinic with recurrent multinodular goiter.
