ABSTRACT Background Thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) could improve antibiotic treatment selection in cattle with respiratory diseases. Hypothesis/Objectives Evaluate the association between respiratory pathogens and consol...

Abstract Background This study aims to characterize the clinicopathological and immunophenotypic profile of calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) occurring in the thoracic cavity, and to elucidate its key diagnostic features fo...

Abstract Background Thoracic surgery involves complex diseases and critically ill patients, demanding doctors to integrate solid theoretical knowledge with practical skills. Clinical medical students, however, often stru...

Background and purpose: The use of Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) for radiotherapy (RT) planning for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA NSCLC) could improve RT precision due to its superior soft tissue def...

Background: To facilitate the fusion of the injury site for non-operative treatment or postoperative care, various braces are available to immobilize an unstable cervical spine. Among these, Minerva and Halo braces are t...

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) following first-line chemoimmunotherapy improves survival in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). However, its efficacy and saf...

Background: Nearly half of patients with thoracic cancer are diagnosed at a late stage, contributing to poor survival. This may be due to delays in diagnosis. Methods: This study established a longitudinal cohort by link...

BackgroundNFKB1 encodes the p105/p50 nuclear factor-kappa-B (NF-κB1) transcription factor. Heterozygous mutations in NFKB1 are associated with NFKB1-related disease, including granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung...

Abstract Background Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a neuropathic pain syndrome that can be resistant to traditional therapies and severely impairs quality of life. The serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block...

Traumatic pneumatocele (TP) is a rare, benign pulmonary lesion that primarily affects children and young adults following blunt chest trauma. We present the case of a 16-yearold male judo athlete who developed persiste...

Poor posture negatively influences the hemodynamics of the upper extremities. In clinical practice, this is known as Thoracic outlet syndrome. Poor posture leads to muscle imbalances which are solved with the active exer...

Abstract Background Evidence regarding optimal treatment duration in dogs with aspiration pneumonia (AP) and the role of thoracic radiographs (TXR) and lung ultrasonography (LUS) in the long‐term follow‐up of affecte...

ABSTRACT Background The depth of lung consolidation (≥ 1 and ≥ 3 cm) on thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) is increasingly used as a criterion for antimicrobial treatment. However, its association with bacterial in...

Background: The curvature of the aortic arch is associated with the risk of endoleak formation after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). However, the adequate assessment of the angles of the aorta continues to r...

Background and purpose: Artificial intelligence-based contouring tools enable assessment of radiation doses to cardiac substructures beyond mean heart dose. This study examined inter-solution variations in raw contours a...

ABSTRACT Purpose: The combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy (radioimmunotherapy) shows promising antitumor efficacy but raises cardiotoxicity concerns. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Methods: Preclinic...

Abstract Background Lung cancer surgery in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is frequently challenged by late-stage presentation, high comorbidity burden, and limited healthcare resources. Although video-assisted ...

Abstract Background Interventional management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of the emphysema phenotype, include uniportal, non-intubated, video-assisted thoracic surgery (UNI-VATS) lung volume reduction surger...

Background and purpose: The use of Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) for radiotherapy planning and guidance for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA NSCLC) is novel. The superior soft tissue definition of MRI c...

A pictorial field guide to the 30 species of sandfly most commonly encountered in Pará State is presented, based on the easily recognised external characters of the length of the 5th palpal segment, thoracic infuscation...

Objetivou-se, com este trabalho, avaliar as medidas morfométricas de potros e potras da raça Mangalarga Marchador utilizando a análise discriminante. As medidas corporais foram feitas na semana do nascimento dos potro...

Realizou-se uma série de biópsias cardíacas em cães para testar o acesso toracoscópico, utilizando-se oito cães sem raça definida, sob condições de manejo e alimentação adequados. A abordagem à cavidade torá...

Abstract Background Cardiac herniation is a rare but potentially fatal complication that may occur after surgery involving pericardial incision or resection. Most cases develop intraoperatively or in the early postoperat...
