Summarizing the treatment experience of primary cardiac tumors in children....
The date of 24 children with primary cardiac tumors who underwent surgery in our department from July 2003 to September 2022 was collected and analyzed treatment efficacy....
All patients completed the surgery successfully, including 21 cases of complete tumor resection, 2 cases of partial tumor resection, and 1 case of tumor biopsy. The location: 5 cases in the right atri...
Primary cardiac tumors in children are mostly benign. Surgery is effective, but the timing of surgery depends on the patient's condition....
As one of the long-established and necessary medical devices, surgical sutures play an essentially important role in the closing and healing of damaged tissues and organs postoperatively. The recent a...
Gender disparity in surgery remains an issue worldwide. We analysed the trends in gender distribution in surgical subspecialties across Australia and New Zealand over the last 8 years....
Workforce reports from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons were reviewed from 2014 to 2021. Data relating to 4802 applicants, 1554 trainees and 6839 active surgeons across nine surgical subspec...
All nine surgical subspecialties' surgeon numbers saw a steady increase in the representation of women between 2014 and 2021. The most significant rise seen in general surgery from 14% to 21% (P ≤ 0.0...
A steady increase in women has been observed across all surgical subspecialities over the last 8 years. However, estimates based on current trends suggest that gender parity may be out of reach for th...
Despite an evolving need to provide surgical health care globally, few health systems, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), can sufficiently provide such care. The vast majo...
The use of invasive placebo controls in surgical trials can be challenging. The ASPIRE guidance, published in the Lancet in 2020, provided advice for the design and conduct of surgical trials with an ...
Rhinoplasty training currently follows an apprenticeship model that is largely observational. Trainees have limited experience in performing maneuvers of this complex surgery. Rhinoplasty simulators c...
Refractory movement disorders are a common feature of inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs), significantly impacting quality of life and potentially leading to life-threatening complications such as stat...
We aimed to report a hitherto undescribed class of patients with the obvious phenotype of a novel soft palate dysplasia combining unilateral soft palate hypoplasia with a fully developed uvula. We als...
Twelve patients were clinically diagnosed with soft palate dysplasia. Clinical examination, including radiographic tests was performed to characterize the congenital deformity. The effectiveness of ve...
Soft palate dysplasia was featured with velopharyngeal insufficiency, food regurgitation, and speech disorders. It was commonly manifested as structural deformities of the soft palate, tongue palatine...
Soft palate dysplasia is characterized as congenital velopharyngeal insufficiency manifested as a primary soft palate defect. It is highly associated with other physical deformities but independent of...
Knowledge of the normal anatomy of the cerebellar tonsils is a prerequisite in various surgeries of the posterior cranial fossa Clinical conditions, as the Chiari I malformations (CIM) alter the norma...
Therefore, we aim to better elucidate the surgical anatomy of and around the cerebellar tonsils in regard to the CIM....
Fifty formalin-fixed adult cadavers injected with colored latex through vertebral arteries underwent craniotomy and durotomy to expose the cerebellar tonsils and related structures. The tonsils and th...
Forty cerebellar tonsils were at or above the foramen magnum. Five specimens presented with CIM with the tonsils below (3-5 mm) the FM with a mean tonsillar decent of 7.9 ± 2.3 mm. Of the cadavers wit...
These data are important for better understanding the intrinsic and extrinsic anatomy of the cerebellar tonsils in patients with and without CIM. Importantly, tonsillectomy/tonsillar coagulation must ...
Despite advances in prevention, detection, and treatment, cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality and represents a major health problem worldwide. Artificial intelligence and machine le...
