Failed Tracheal Intubation in a Child with Unrecognized Hunter's Syndrome Having Emergency Surgery

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.059

The Editor,

Sir,

We report a child with unanticipated Hunter's syndrome who, while under general anesthesia for an emergency surgery, suffered from an emergency difficult airway. As the child showed limited cooperation, general anesthesia was chosen.

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Therapy Combined Gemcitabine for Treating Unresectable Pancreatic Carcinoma

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2016.013

Synopsis:

We aimed to study the therapeutic effect and safety of high-intensity-focused ultrasound (HIFUT) combined Gemcitabine on unresectable pancreatic carcinoma in clinic. Our results showed that HIFUT combined gemcitabine is better than gemcitabine only. The former treatment (HIFUT combined gemcitabine) may become a better effective treatment strategy for treating unresectable pancreatic carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study therapeutic effect and safety of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) combined Gemcitabine on unresectable pancreatic carcinoma (PC).
