Article Abstract
Rationale: Foreign body aspiration into bronchial tubes is a serious medical problem. Here, we report a case of bronchial foreign body removal using flexible bronchoscopy with a balloon catheter and cryoadhesions.
Patient Concerns: The patient was diagnosed with septic shock and was treated in the intensive care unit. After improvement and extubation, chest radiography revealed a bronchial foreign body, and atelectasis in the right lower lobe was confirmed.
Diagnoses: Chest radiography revealed the presence of a radiopaque foreign body in the right main bronchus.
Interventions: A balloon catheter was used to dislodge the foreign body with a retrograde pull, and the foreign body was removed using cryoadhesions.
Outcomes: The foreign body was successfully removed using a balloon catheter and cryoadhesions, without major complications. After surgical removal of the bronchial foreign body, chest radiography revealed resolution of right lower lobe atelectasis, and no dyspnea or sputum production was observed. Subsequently, the patient's condition improved, and he was discharged from the hospital.
Lessons: An increase in dental treatments has led to the development of various artificial dental structures. Therefore, rechecking these artificial structures upon intensive care unit admission and extubation may help prevent their aspiration.

Removal of a Central Venous Catheter Impacted in the Peripheral Pulmonary Artery Using a Balloon Catheter.
Interv Radiol (Higashimatsuyama)

Department of Radiology, Mie University Hospital, Japan.
Disruption of the central venous port catheter was identified on the chest radiograph of a 36-year-old woman who had undergone chemotherapy following resection of her colon cancer. Computed tomography revealed that the catheter was impacted in the peripheral pulmonary artery. Instead of using a snare wire, a balloon catheter was inserted into the lumen of the disrupted catheter due to its tight lodging in the pulmonary artery.

Foreign body ingestion in children, especially those aged 6 months to 3 years, is a common clinical concern. While most objects pass through the gastrointestinal tract uneventfully, some may result in obstruction and necessitate surgical intervention. We report a rare case of a 10-year-old child with autism who presented with small bowel obstruction following ingestion of a rubber feeding bottle nipple.

The development of continuous-release devices or injectables for the long-term delivery of biologics is of great interest, especially monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that require frequent, high-dose injections. Preclinical testing of these technologies in murine models is necessary for clinical translation; however, xenogeneic responses to the mAb and foreign body responses to the implants or injectables can confound results. Immune system knockout (KO) models that affect immune cells are often used in these experiments, but the effects of KO models on mAb pharmacokinetics (PK) are not well characterized.

Achieving stable and continuous monitoring of signals of numerous single neurons in the brain faces the conflicting challenge of increasing the microelectrode count while minimizing cross-sectional shank dimensions to reduce tissue damage, foreign-body-reaction and maintain signal quality. Passive probes need to route each microelectrode individually to external electronics, thus increasing shank size and tissue-damage as the number of electrodes grows. Active complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) probes overcome the limitation in electrode count and density with on-probe frontend, addressing and multiplexing circuits, but current probes have relatively large shank widths of 70 - 100 μm.

This study presents a medico-legal case study of an infant who died as a result of intestinal volvulus, a rare but severe complication secondary to the ingestion of multiple magnets and button batteries. The mutual attraction of magnets through adjacent intestinal loops, compounded by the corrosive effects of button batteries, can precipitate rapid and irreversible damage to the gastrointestinal wall. A comprehensive review of the literature on documented pediatric cases involving the ingestion of magnets and button batteries was undertaken to compare the spectrum and frequency of complications.
