Development and validation of a machine learning predictive model for perioperative myocardial injury in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass
Perioperative myocardial injury (PMI) with different cut-off values has showed to be associated with different prognostic effect after cardiac surgery. Machine learning (ML) method has been widely used in peri… Read More
Complete thrombosis of a bioprosthetic mitral valve and left atrium in a patient on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with favorable outcome
Intra-cardiac thrombosis is a potentially devastating complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) mechanical circulatory support. We present here a patient who suffered complete thrombosis of a … Read More
A case of lung metastasis from gastric cancer presenting as ground-glass opacity dominant nodules
Most metastatic lung tumors present as solid nodules on chest computed tomography (CT). In contrast, ground-glass opacity on chest computed tomography usually suggests low-grade malignant lesions such as adeno… Read More
Resection of the entire first rib for giant osteochondroma by trans manubrial approach: a case report and review of the literature
First rib tumors are extremely rare. Its compression of neurovascularity can easily lead to severe complications such as thoracic outlet syndrome, so early surgical resection is crucial. However, there is no s… Read More
Investigation of mediastinal lymph node dissection in clinical stage IA pure-solid non-small cell lung cancer patients
To explore the independent predictors of pathological mediastinal lymph node (pN2) metastasis in clinical stage IA (cIA) pure-solid non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, and to find an appropriate metho… Read More
Prognostic role of CRABP2 in lung cancer: a meta-analysis
The prognostic value of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein 2 (CRABP2), in lung cancer patients remains to be uncertained. Therefore, our research attempted to assess the relationship between CRABP2 and sur… Read More

Clinical value of measuring plasma D-dimer levels in patients with esophageal cancer
Esophageal cancer represents a significant public health concern; however, reliable diagnostic and prognostic markers have not been established. This study aimed to investigate the clinical value of plasma D-d… Read More
Exploring new frontiers: a rare case of catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation in a patient with cor triatriatum sinister guided by intracardiac echocardiography
Cor triatriatum sinister (CTS) is an uncommon congenital cardiac anomaly. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is commonly the initial symptom in patients with CTS, occurring in approximately 32% of the cases. The complex… Read More
