Abscopal effect of local irradiation treatment for thymoma: a case report.

Introduction: With the rapid development of immunotherapy in recent years, growing clinical evidence suggests that a combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy could improve the abscopal response rates and increase survival. However, observations on abscopal effects in patients receiving radiotherapy alone are still very rare. This study reports a rare case of a patient with type B3 thymoma with multiple lung metastases, who received localized irradiation.

Minimally Invasive Surfactant Administration for the Treatment of Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Multicenter Randomized Study in China.

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) was recommended as the initial respiratory support for spontaneous breathing in infants with very low birth weight and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). Less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) and minimally invasive surfactant therapy (MIST) have been reported to reduce the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). This study aimed to explore the applicability of minimally invasive surfactant administration (MISA) in China.

Nutrition program selection in acute ischemic stroke patients with GI hemorrhage.

Background And Objectives: The severity of neurologic impairment is significantly associated with gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of two nutritional interventions in acute ischemic stroke patients with GI hemorrhage.

Methods And Study Design: We retrospectively studied consecutive ischemic stroke patients with GI hemorrhage from January 2014 to December 2018.
