[Traumatic pulmonary pseudocyst].

Rev Med Liege

September 2025

Service des Urgences, CHC MontLégia, Liège, Belgique.

Traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts (TPPs) are rare but clinically relevant complications of thoracic trauma, often misdiagnosed due to their non-specific presentation and resemblance to other cavitary pulmonary lesions. We report the case of a 26-year-old male presenting with delayed symptoms following a fall, ultimately diagnosed with multiple TPPs via thoracic CT scan. The patient experienced a favourable evolution with conservative management, including aerosolized tranexamic acid for minor hemoptysis.

Radical esophagectomy remains the cornerstone of curative treatment for esophageal cancer, but is frequently complicated by postoperative events, most notably anastomotic leakage. Anastomotic leakage, occurring in up to 30% of cases, is multifactorial in origin and significantly increases morbidity and mortality. This review aims to summarize current management strategies, highlight emerging therapies, and identify persistent clinical challenges related to this complication.

Multiple Demographic, Lifestyle, and Biological Factors Associated With Brain Iron Deposition in the Basal Ganglia: A Comprehensive Analysis of 25,980 UK Biobank Participants.

Brain Behav

September 2025

Key Laboratory of Endocrine Glucose & Lipids Metabolism and Brain Aging, Ministry of Education; Department of Radiology, Shandong Provincial Hospital, Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, Shandong Province, China.

Background: The susceptibility values of the basal ganglia reflect the health status of these nuclei. We aimed to explore the associations between various demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and biological factors that have the potential to contribute to magnetic susceptibility and investigate the comprehensive impact of these multiple factors on basal ganglia susceptibility values.

Methods: We included 25,980 participants from the UK Biobank.

Alternating Magnetic Fields Remove Biofilms but Damage Cells on Implant Models Also with Negligible Bulk Heating.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

September 2025

Institute of Colloid and Biointerface Science, Institute of Colloid and Biointerface Science, BOKU University, 1190 Vienna, Austria.

Implant-associated infections caused by bacterial biofilms remain a major clinical challenge, with high morbidity, often necessitating prolonged antibiotic therapy or implant revision surgery. To address the need for noninvasive alternatives, we investigated the use of alternating magnetic fields (AMFs) as a localized treatment modality for eradicating biofilms on titanium implant model surfaces. We demonstrate that AMF exposure effectively removes biofilms and kills bacteria at moderately elevated temperatures on the implant.

Issue Addressed: Social media's potential use has been underestimated in preventive interventions targeting young people despite its importance in psychosocial development. This structured narrative review examined both the positive and negative use of social media by young Australians and its health impacts with a focus on social media-based interventions.

Method: Following a narrative review approach, 34 papers were analysed from four databases (Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Embase) from 2010 to 2025 to provide indications for leveraging the positive aspects.
