A new treatment strategy for airway obstruction induced by a giant benign goiter: A case report

Qinwei Zhu et al.

Summary: This case report demonstrates a rare case of dyspnea caused by a large goiter and presents a safe and effective therapeutic strategy of placing an airway stent followed by thyroidectomy. The findings suggest that life-threatening airway obstruction due to benign goiter can be effectively treated with this approach.

Tolerability, safety and survival in patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension treated with intravenous epoprostenol (Veletri®): a prospective, 6-months, open label, observational, non-interventional study

Julia Degering et al.

Summary: This study aims to expand clinical experience in the use of Veletri((R)), especially regarding tolerability, safety and survival. The results showed that epoprostenol AS (Veletri((R))) was comparable to previous prostacyclin formulations in terms of safety and tolerability, and was feasible for most patients.

Comprehensive immunophenotypic analysis reveals the pathological involvement of Th17 cells in Graves' disease

Keiichi Torimoto et al.

Summary: The study found that in Graves' disease, Th17 cells, Tfh cells, and double-negative B cells were more activated. Treatment with antithyroid drugs can reduce the activation of Tfh cells, but the activation of Th17 cells is not associated with clinical improvement. Peripheral blood immunophenotyping showed the differential involvement of T and B cell subsets in the pathogenesis of Graves' disease.

Perioperative management of patients with pulmonary hypertension undergoing non-cardiothoracic, non-obstetric surgery: a systematic review and expert consensus statement

Laura C. Price et al.

Summary: The 30-day mortality rate is higher in PH patients undergoing non-cardiac and non-obstetric surgery, with a strong correlation with acute right ventricular failure. Risk factors for mortality include procedure-specific and patient-related factors, particularly markers of PH severity. Individualized preoperative risk assessment and perioperative planning are crucial in reducing complications.
