Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a developmental hypoplasia of one side of face and ear due to congenital hypoplasia. At present, the causes of HFM have not been completely clarified, the classification methods are diverse, and the diagnosis and treatment methods are complex. Through reviewing the relevant study on the treatment of HFM domestic and overseas in recent years, the possible etiology and corresponding clinical manifestations of the disease are analyzed, and the existing clinical classification methods, treatment strategies and latest research results are summarized.
The Essential of ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction was introduced, including epidemology, initial management in the emergency department and hospital management.
The 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO-GI) was held in San Francisco, the USA from January 18th to 20th, 2024 (local time). The multiple studies presented in this symposium will have a significant impact on the clinical practice of esophageal cancer. This article will focus on the surgical methods of esophageal cancer, perioperative immunotherapy, drug therapy for advanced esophageal cancer, rescue treatment after immunotherapy resistance, and other relevant aspects. It aims to summarize and interpret the significant advancements in the field of esophageal cancer presented in this symposium.
Extrinsic allergic alveolitis is a general term for type Ⅲ or Ⅳ allergic pneumonia caused by repeated inhalation of various antigenic organic dusts and low molecular weight chemicals in susceptible people. The lesions involve alveolar, pulmonary interstitial, and airway. The main clinical manifestations are cough, expectoration, and dyspnea. Clinically, extrinsic allergic alveolitis is classified into acute, subacute, and chronic forms. Extrinsic allergic alveolitis has a great impact on the pulmonary function of patients. Timely treatment will improve clinical symptoms and inhibit the development of disease. The current treatment plan is mainly avoiding exposure to antigen, glucocorticoid therapy, immunosuppressive therapy, anti-fibrotic therapy, and lung transplantation.
At present, coronavirus disease 2019 has become the most serious public health emergency in the world. The disease is still spreading around the world. The disease progresses rapidly and is highly contagious, causing great harm to the public health security of the world. Based on the research evidence published at home and abroad, this article systematically summarizes the biological structure of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, and the pathogenesis, transmission routes and susceptible populations, clinical features and treatment methods of coronavirus disease 2019. It aims to help medical workers understand coronavirus disease 2019 in order to better diagnose and treat the disease, and provide references for future research.
Objective To evaluate the surgical efficacy of unilateral pneumonectomy for the treatment of tuberculous destroyed lung, analyze the causes of severe postoperative complications, and explore clinical management strategies. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with tuberculous destroyed lung who underwent unilateral pneumonectomy at the Public Health Clinical Center of Chengdu from 2017 to 2023. Postoperative severe complications were statistically analyzed. Patients were divided into a non-severe complication group and a severe-complication group, and the causes, management, and outcomes of complications were analyzed. Results A total of 134 patients were included, comprising 69 males and 65 females, with a mean age of 17-73 (40.43±12.69) years. There were 93 patients undergoing left pneumonectomy and 41 patients undergoing right pneumonectomy. Preoperative sputum smear was positive in 35 patients, all of which converted to negative postoperatively. There were 58 patients with hemoptysis preoperatively, and none experienced hemoptysis postoperatively. Postoperative incisional infection occurred in 8 (5.97%) patients, and postoperative pulmonary infection in 26 (19.40%) patients. Severe postoperative complications occurred in 17 (12.69%) patients, including empyema in 9 (6.72%) patients, bronchopleural fistula with empyema in 1 (0.75%) patient, severe pneumonia in 3 (2.24%) patients, postpneumonectomy syndrome in 1 (0.75%) patient, chylothorax in 1 (0.75%) patient, ketoacidosis in 1 (0.75%) patient, and heart failure with severe pneumonia in 1 (0.75%) patient. Perioperative mortality occurred in 2 (1.49%) patients, both of whom underwent right pneumonectomy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a history of ipsilateral thoracic surgery, concomitant Aspergillus infection, and greater blood loss were independent risk factors for severe complications following unilateral pneumonectomy for tuberculous destroyed lung (P<0.05). ConclusionUnilateral pneumonectomy for patients with tuberculous destroyed lung can significantly improve the clinical cure rate, sputum conversion rate, and hemoptysis cessation rate. However, there is a certain risk of severe perioperative complications and mortality, requiring thorough perioperative management and appropriate management of postoperative complications.
摘要:目的: 总结2型糖尿病患者阴茎勃起功能障碍(ED)的相关危险因素及临床治疗评价。 方法 :分析收集两家医院120例住院及门诊2型糖尿病男性患者的性功能状况、年龄、糖尿病病程、血压、糖化血红蛋白、血脂、吸烟与否等指标,以及接受真空负压吸引联合万艾可治疗的79名患者追踪3个月的疗效评分。 结果 :男性2型糖尿患者中ED的患病率为658%,多因素回归分析显示患者年龄、糖尿病病程、糖化血红蛋白与ED的发生独立相关,而血压、血脂等因素〖WTBX〗P ＞005,无显著性差异。接受真空负压吸引联合万艾可治疗的79例ED患者其有效率达到759%。 结论 :男性2型糖尿病患者中ED是常见的合并症,患病率随年龄、糖尿病病程、糖化血红蛋白的增加而增加。真空负压吸引联合万艾可治疗糖尿病合并ED疗效可靠。Abstract: Objective: Make a conclusion on related ED risk factors and clinic therapy evaluation in 120 Type 2 male diabetic mellitus. Methods : Analyze and collect 120 cases in two hospitals regarding sexual function,age,diabetes course,blood pressure,HbA1c,bolldfat, smokingcondition,etc;follow up 79 cases for 3months and evaluate therapy as a result of vacuum subpressure absorption associated with viagra (sildenafil) therapy. Results : The ED rate in Type 2 male diabetic is 658%;the multifactorial regression analysis shows that occurrence of ED is respectively related with age,diabetes course,HbA1c;there isn’t obvious discrdpancy in blood pressure,blood fat,etc(P ＞005); the effective rate of vacuum subpressure absorption associated with Viagra (sildenafil) therapy in 79 cases is759%. Conclusion : It’s common complications to get ED among the Type 2 male Diabetics and the case rate goes up with the increase of age,diabetes course, HbA1c;it’s reliable to take therapy of vacuum subpressure absorption associated with Viagra.
