In Covid-19 pandemic, the use of video laryngoscope for tracheal intubation is highly recommended due to the increasing distance between patient’s airway and operator. An endotracheal tube with an intubating stylet has been proposed to facilitate tracheal tube insertion, especially when video laryngoscope was used.

The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred in 2011, bringing un precedented damage to the Tohoku region of Japan. Today, after 11 years, the scars from that tremendous damage remain.

1.1. Objective: We describe the use of 3-dimensional (3D) printing technology to guide the occlusion of an anastomotic leak (AL) in the ascending aorta.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) refers to a group of tumors that de velop from the epithelium of the kidney tubes, including clear cell RCC, papillary RCC, and chromophobe RCC. Most clear cell renal carcinomas have a large histologic subtype, genetic or epigenetic genetic von Hippel-Lindau (VHL).

1.1. Background: Galectin-3 (Gal-3), as a mediator of inflamma tion and fibrosis, has been reported to be a biomarker of severity in coronary artery disease (CAD). The study aimed to assess the rela tionships between coronary artery disease (CAD) and risk factors, including parameters of oxidative stress in Tunisian patients CAD.

The prevalence of obesity has steadily increased in response to changes in diet and physical activity patterns over the past 10 years, becoming one of the leading causes of morbidity and mor tality worldwide. In addition, the popularity of social networks has increased social and cultural pressure for the search for the “perfect body”.

Spontaneous pneumothorax associated with COVID-19 is rare. We reported four cases and reviewed the literature. Among the reports, 29% and 42% were a-/oligosymptomatic or symptomatic but improving, respectively. Clinicians must be aware of this com plication because it can happen when the patient with COVID-19 was a-/oligosymptomatic or had improving symptoms.

Recently, active research has been conducted in the schemes of multimodal anesthesia of new methods of regional anesthesia based on myofascial blocks. Such blocks include the blockade of the transverse abdominal space (Transversus abdominis planet block – TAR). The advantage of this anesthesia is ease of imple mentation, low risk of complications, impact on the initial stages of pain syndrome, which provides a stress-limiting effect [1]. At the same time, the TAP block does not provide blockade of vis ceral nociceptive impulses, but significantly reduces the severity of the somatic component of pain.

TEMPI syndrome is a rare plasma cell paraneoplastic syndrome that mainly manifests as telangiectasias, monoclonal gammopathy, elevated erythropoietin levels and erythrocytosis, perinephric fluid collection and intrapulmonary shunting.

1.1. Background and Purpose: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is a disease with a high incidence in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), which seriously threatens people’s health. However, there is no effective prevention method for SAP.
