Cardiac herniation is a rare but potentially fatal complication of intrapericardial pneumonectomy. It usually occurs within the first 24 hours postoperatively. Symptoms are side-related. It has a sudden onset and invariably evolves to cardio-vascular collapse. Clinical suspicion combined with plain chest X-ray and electrocardiographic changes must lead to a quick diagnosis. Definitive treatment requires prompt surgical action. Closure of the pericardial defect during initial operation does not exclude the possibility of cardiac herniation. We present a patient with a right-sided cardiac herniation after intrapericardial pneumonectomy. Patient was treated surgically and survived.

Real-world individual and comparative analysis of adverse event reporting for adalimumab and etanercept using public FDA adverse event reporting system data.
Arch Dermatol Res
December 2024
Department of Dermatology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, No. 1277, Jiefang Avenue, Wuhan, 430022, China.
Objective: We analyzed adverse events (AEs) related to adalimumab and etanercept using the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to detect unexpected AEs. Subsequently, we compared the discrepancy in serious outcomes involving the same injection site reactions (ISRs) between two different medications.
Methods: Four algorithms, including reporting odds ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN), and the multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker (MGPS) were used to identify AE signals.
Optimal surgical timing for congenital diaphragmatic hernia in a non-ECMO center: a retrospective study.
World J Pediatr Surg
December 2024
Department of Neonatal Surgery, Children's Hospital Capital Institute of Pediatrics, Beijing, China.
Background: This study aims to address the timing of repair for severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) without the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and to determine the feasibility of an earlier intervention to avoid deaths associated with non-repair in patients who are more challenging to stabilize without ECMO.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study was conducted on neonates with CDH from 2013 to 2023. Based on the timing of surgery, the patients were classified into three groups: <24 hours (group A), 24-48 hours (group B) and ≥48 hours (group C).
Cerebral gas embolism and multifocal ischemic stroke during oxygen-ozone therapy: a case report.
BMJ Neurol Open

Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Introduction: Ischaemic stroke, primarily caused by thromboembolic events, typically arises as a consequence of underlying vascular or cardiac pathology. Non-thrombotic embolic strokes, although rare, are increasingly seen in interventional and intravascular procedures. Oxygen-ozone therapy (OOT) is one of the popular treatments for lumbar disc herniation, providing pain relief.

Article Synopsis
- Chromosomal analysis using CMA, MS-MLPA, and trio-WES was conducted on a female fetus with omphalocele, identifying a new 300-kb deletion in the Xq13.1 region affecting the MED12 gene.
- An ultrasound at 18 weeks showed features indicative of Hardikar syndrome, such as cleft lip and palate, diaphragmatic hernia, and heart displacement.
- The findings suggest that the deletion of the MED12 gene may play a critical role in the development of Hardikar syndrome, highlighting the potential impact of haploinsufficiency of this gene.
Single-point ultrasound-guided iliohypogastric-ilioinguinal-genitofemoral nerve block for inguinal hernia surgery in older adult patients: a randomized controlled trial.
Quant Imaging Med Surg
December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, The First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, The Affiliated Hospital of Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming, China.
Background: Ultrasound-guided nerve block can be used for perioperative analgesia and can potentially improve the course of recovery. Although iliohypogastric-ilioinguinal nerve block has been successfully used for inguinal hernia surgery, the poor blocking effect of intraoperative traction reflex remains a major drawback of this technique. The main objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of single-point ultrasound-guided iliohypogastric-ilioinguinal-genitofemoral nerve (GFN) blockage for open anterior inguinal hernia repair in older adults.
