Diaphrag-matic ultrasound has become increasingly important due to its non-invasive nature, absence of radiation exposure, widespread availability, prompt results, high accuracy, and repeatability at the bedside. The diaphragm is a crucial respiratory muscle. Decline or dysfunction of the diaphragm can lead to dyspnea and even respiratory failure in AECOPD patients. In this editorial, we comment on an article, retrospectively analyzed ninety-four acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients who received mechanical ventilation from January 2022 to December 2023. The study found that the diaphragm thickening fraction, an index from diaphragm ultrasound, can better predict the outcome of non-invasive ventilation in patients with AECOPD. The value of non-invasive ventilation in treating respiratory failure caused by AECOPD has been widely acknowledged. Diaphragmatic dysfunction diagnosed with ultrasound is associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation and weaning times and higher mortality.","PeriodicalId":23912,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Clinical Cases","volume":"12 36","pages":"6887-6891"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11531984/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142898867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper reviews current literature and explores innovative treatment strategies for lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (LEASO) through an integrative approach. It highlights the effectiveness of combination therapies that merge traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with Western medical practices, suggesting that such integrative methods may improve patient compliance and outcomes through personalized care. This paper stresses the importance of rigorous clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TCM interventions within LEASO treatment protocols, advocating for evidence-based validation of these combined therapies. Our recommendations emphasize accurate diagnosis, appropriate pharmacological interventions, the use of advanced surgical and endovascular techniques, and the inclusion of TCM to address underlying dysfunctions. Additionally, continuous monitoring, patient education, and lifestyle modifications are essential to slow disease progression and achieve optimal patient outcomes. The paper concludes by calling for further research to develop standardized treatment protocols that effectively integrate both Western and Chinese medical approaches in managing LEASO.","PeriodicalId":23912,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Clinical Cases","volume":"12 36","pages":"6871-6876"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11531986/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142898743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ICU-AW is a serious neuromuscular complication seen in critically ill patients, characterized by muscle dysfunction, weakness, and sensory impairments. Post-discharge, patients may encounter various obstacles impacting their quality of life. The pathogenesis involves intricate changes in muscle and nerve function, potentially leading to significant disabilities. Given its global significance, ICU-AW has become a key research area. The study identified critical risk factors using a multilayer perceptron neural network model, highlighting the impact of intensive care unit stay duration and mechanical ventilation duration on ICU-AW. Recommendations were provided for preventing ICU-AW, emphasizing comprehensive interventions and risk factor mitigation. This editorial stresses the importance of external validation, cross-validation, and model transparency to enhance model reliability. Moreover, the application of machine learning in clinical medicine has demonstrated clear benefits in improving disease understanding and treatment decisions. While machine learning presents opportunities, challenges such as model reliability and data management necessitate thorough validation and ethical considerations. In conclusion, integrating machine learning into healthcare offers significant potential and challenges. Enhancing data management, validating models, and upholding ethical standards are crucial for maximizing the benefits of machine learning in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":23912,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Clinical Cases","volume":"12 35","pages":"6760-6763"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11525916/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142839915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This manuscript aims to introduce to clinicians what NMA is. NMA represents a fundamental technique for simultaneously comparing three or more interventions within a single analysis, harnessing both direct and indirect evidence derived from a network of studies. It surpasses pair-wise meta-analysis which are confined to direct comparison of two items in clinical trials. This approach can estimate the relative effects between any pair of interventions within the network, often yielding more precise estimations than those generated from single direct or indirect analyses. NMA necessitates steps akin to those of conventional meta-analysis, involving a thorough literature search, assessment of potential trial biases, statistical analysis of reported pairwise comparisons for all relevant outcomes, and evaluation of overall certainty of evidence on an outcome-specific basis. However, NMA demands substantial resources, given its propensity to address broader inquiries, typically involving a larger number of studies at each phase of the systematic review, from screening to analysis, compared to traditional meta-analyses.","PeriodicalId":23912,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Clinical Cases","volume":"12 35","pages":"6848-6850"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11525911/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142839919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A major advance in the field of plastic and other reconstructive surgery in this regard has been the introduction and successful use of acellular dermal matrices (ADMs). In recent years, not only the type of tissue from which ADMs are produced, product range, diversity and areas of use have increased, but their use in reconstructive fields, especially in post oncologic breast surgery, has become highly regarded and this has favored ADMs to be a potential cornerstone in specific and well-defined surgical fields in future. It is essential that reconstructive surgeons become familiar with some of the ADM's as well as the advantages and limitations to their use. This review not only provides basic science and clinical evidence of the current use of ADMs in wide range of surgical fields but also targets to keep them as an important backdrop in the armamentarium of reconstructive surgeons. Brief considerations of possible future directions for ADMs are also conducted in the end.","PeriodicalId":23912,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Clinical Cases","volume":"12 35","pages":"6791-6807"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11525903/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142839837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through reviews of recent studies, we discussed how periodontal bacteria may activate systemic immune responses that affect both periodontal and renal tissues. Additionally, meta-analysis data indicated an increased risk of CKD development in patients with CP, and vice versa. The results suggest the need for more rigorous research in the future in order to address the confounding factors and evaluate specific periodontal health interventions and their direct effects on kidney function.
