A total of 186 patients with encephalopathies caused by critical states and reanimation were examined. A complex of neurophysiologic studies was proposed involving impedancemetry of the brain, rheoencephalography, echoencephalography, electroencephalography, ophthalmoscopy. The studies made showed that adoption of the proposed complex permits differentiating the processes of edema, swelling, edema-swelling of the brain as well as determining the condition of cerebral bloodflow and assessing the extent of impairement of cerebral homeostasis. Early diagnosis of edema/swelling of the brain enabled the main trends in the differential therapy of the above processes to be outlined and adequacy of its treatments administration to be effectively controlled on an as-needed basis. Differential approach to diagnosis and treatment of edema and swelling of the brain permitted the parameters studied to return to normal in 75.2 percent of the patients.

Phase angle in bioelectrical impedance analysis for assessing congestion in acute heart failure.
PLoS One
January 2025
Cardiovascular Center, Division of Cardiology, Korea University Guro Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: The phase angle (PhA) in bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) reflects the cell membrane integrity or body fluid equilibrium. We examined how the PhA aligns with previously known markers of acute heart failure (HF) and assessed its value as a screening tool.
Methods: PhA was measured in 50 patients with HF and 20 non-HF controls along with the edema index (EI), another BIA parameter suggestive of edema.
Efficacy of different routes of triamcinolone acetonide administration on macular edema: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Pharmacy, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
There is different administration routes of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) administration for macular edema, but the efficacy ranking remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of different administration routes of TA employed in macular edema. PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were systematically searched for published articles comparing macular edema in patients with triamcinolone acetonide in different administration.

Transl Vis Sci Technol
January 2025
UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, University College London, London, UK.
Purpose: A human model able to simulate the manifestation of corneal endothelium decompensation could be advantageous for wound healing and future cell therapy assessment. The study aimed to establish an ex vivo human cornea endothelium wound model where endothelium function can be evaluated by measuring corneal thickness changes.
Methods: The human cornea was maintained in an artificial anterior chamber, with a continuous culture medium infusion system designed to sustain corneal endothelium and epithelium simultaneously.
Non-Ablative Fractional 1940-nm Diode Laser for Skin Resurfacing and Treatment of Benign Pigmented Lesions.
Lasers Surg Med
January 2025
Candela Institute for Excellence, Marlborough, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: The non-ablative 1940-nm laser induces controlled thermal damage at superficial depths without ablating the epidermis.
Objective: We evaluated a new 1940-nm fractional diode laser for improving pigmentation and skin texture.
Materials And Methods: Participants with mild to severe benign pigmented lesions received up to three laser treatments.
Recurrent Thymic Carcinoma Treated With Median Sternotomy, Innominate Vein Replacement for Superior Vena Cava, and Iodide Implantation: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Cancer Rep (Hoboken)
January 2025
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College, Zunyi, People's Republic of China.
Background: Neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus (NETT) are rare and malignant tumors that arise in the anterior mediastinum. These tumors can exhibit aggressive behavior and may involve surrounding critical structures, such as the superior vena cava. This case contributes to the literature by presenting a recurrent thymic carcinoma with invasion of major blood vessels, including the superior vena cava, and the complexities involved in its surgical management.
