Pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) pose challenges in intraoperative localization due to their primarily nonsolid composition. This report highlights a novel approach using H-marker deployment guided by LungPro navigation combined with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for precise localization of multiple GGNs. ⋯ The employment of H-marker implantation guided by the LungPro navigation system with CBCT confirmation presents a feasible and efficacious strategy for localizing multiple pulmonary GGNs. To further validate its clinical utility and safety, large-scale, multicenter, prospective studies are warranted. This approach holds promise in enhancing the precision and outcomes of surgeries involving GGNs.

Management of traumatic scalp arteriovenous fistula: Case report and literature review.
Blunt traumatic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) of scalp, are uncommon and most of them can be secured by simple embolization or surgical ligation of the feeders. Our goal in writing this paper is to show patients with traumatic scalp AVFs how to prevent complications and the likelihood of recurrence. ⋯ Combination of endovascular embolization with subsequent surgical removal may reduce intraoperative blood loss compared with surgery alone. In addition, a well-designed scalp flap can be performed based on the angiography findings after embolization.

With the use of advanced technology, metabolomics allows for a thorough examination of metabolites and other small molecules found in biological specimens, blood, and tissues. In recent years, metabolomics has been recognized that is closely related to the development of malignancies in the hematological system. ⋯ In this review, we summarize the progress of metabolomics, including glucose metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and lipid metabolism in lymphoma, myeloma, and leukemia through specific mechanisms and pathways. The research of metabolomics gives a new insight and provides therapeutic targets for the treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies.

As the population ages, there will be an increasing demand for health care resources, particularly in intensive care. Therefore, critically ill older adults are receiving increasing attention and have been extensively studied. However, the research landscape, dynamic patterns, and emerging topics in this area have scarcely been reviewed. ⋯ This is the first bibliometric study focusing on critical care in older adults. The research topics indicate that a comprehensive geriatric assessment, tailored interventions, and specific therapeutic algorithms among older adults are recommended to improve outcomes. Furthermore, this study provides valuable insights for clinical decision-making, guideline development, and resource allocation in critical care settings.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a profound neurodevelopmental disorder. Currently, the diagnosis of ADHD relies on clinical assessments and lacks objective testing. Research in electroencephalography (EEG) offers new hope for the diagnosis of ADHD, with researchers actively seeking objective EEG biomarkers. ⋯ High-frequency terms include "ADHD," "EEG," "event-related potentials (ERP)," "children," and "neurofeedback." Clustering key terms such as "cognitive control," "theta waves," "epilepsy," "graph theory," "machine learning," and "neurofeedback" form the cornerstone of the current core research areas. At the same time, a series of emerging research frontiers are gradually emerging, including "theta/beta ratio (TBR)," "P300 wave," "neurofeedback," and "deep learning." Over the past 2 decades, research on the application of EEG in ADHD has been burgeoning, with themes becoming increasingly profound. These insights provide key guidance on current trends, development trajectories, and future challenges in the field.
