Article Abstract
Background: The clavicle is a long bone that forms the anterior border of the thoracic inlet. Anatomic abnormalities of the clavicle can lead to compression of the innominate artery and trachea due to mass effect. These anatomic abnormalities can be amenable to surgical resection, which can provide complete resolution of symptoms.
Methods: We present a case of tracheal compression by the innominate artery in an adult man, caused by a clavicular abnormality due to an underlying bone mineralization disorder, corrected by partial resection of the right clavicle.
Results: The patient underwent successful open surgical resection of his right clavicular head leading to resolution of his tracheal compression by the innominate artery.
Conclusions: We believe that this is the first description of tracheal compression due to osteomesopyknosis. This case demonstrates that compression of the innominate artery due to a clavicular abnormality can be safely corrected via open surgical resection.

We present two patients who presented with symptoms that overlap with asthma, but upon further diagnostic evaluation, were revealed to have underlying malignancy. These cases highlight the importance of objective evidence-based evaluation in unveiling diagnoses previously mislabeled as asthma. The first patient was a 51-year-old with one year of cough and waning albuterol responsiveness, with worsening orthopnea and exertional dyspnea.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Chest-Compression-Synchronized-Ventilation (CCSV) using supraglottic airway devices (SGA) compared to tracheal intubation (TI) for ventilation during continuous resuscitation.
Methods: In this cross-over study, the lungs of adult Thiel-embalmed cadavers were initially recruited using TI. Subsequently, various SGA (Laryngeal-Mask=Ambu®AuraGain™, Laryngeal-Tube=LTS-D®, i-gel-Laryngeal-Mask=I-GEL®) and TI were applied in randomized order during continuous chest compressions.

Respiratory fistulas remain clinically challenging in endoscopic treatment due to the absence of convenient non-compressive sealing materials. Here, we developed an in situ self-fused powder adhesive (PP powder) to address this limitation. This material integrates the adaptive conformability of hydrogel microparticles with the pressure-resistant sealing capability of bulk hydrogels via water-triggered self-assembly.

A 61-year-old male presented with persistent numbness, weakness, and soreness in his left arm. Imaging and fine-needle aspiration cytology indicated a benign thyroid nodule, which was subsequently confirmed by postoperative pathology. The patient recovered uneventfully following surgery, with no evidence of recurrence during follow-up.
