Abstract	This report details a challenging case of difficult extubation due to a lodged tracheal tube following surgery, presenting an unexpected and complex clinical situation. An inspection of the airway using videolaryngoscopy revealed an over-inflated cuff beneath the vocal cords. Initial efforts to deflate the cuff with various methods were unsuccessful. The situation was ultimately resolved through the intervention of an otolaryngology surgeon. This case not only reviews various mechanisms of difficult endotracheal tube removal reported in the literature, but also underscores the potential for serious complications and highlights the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration in managing extubation challenges. Additionally, our manuscript discusses alternative strategies that can be employed in scenarios where an otolaryngology surgeon is not available, offering practical guidance for anesthesiologists confronted with similar situations.

Abstract	Myofascial pain syndrome is a painful condition characterized by trigger points in muscles that can be treated effectively with acupuncture. While cross-fiber palpation can help localize trigger points, needle accuracy may be limited and accidental puncture of delicate structures, such as the lung, is a risk, as evidenced by reports of pneumothorax after acupuncture. Ultrasound imaging can help in reducing the risk of iatrogenic pneumothorax from needling, but there is a paucity of papers describing the use of ultrasound imaging during acupuncture. We present a report on electroacupuncture treatment for myofascial pain syndrome using real-time ultrasound guidance, aimed at avoiding accidental puncture of the pleura when targeting deep muscle layers in the thoracic region.

Abstract	Intraductal radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been used in the management of malignant biliary obstruction and ampullary neoplasms. Some small studies refer to its role in managing benign biliary strictures with some promising results. The complications are not neglectable, namely cholangitis, pancreatitis, bleeding, and perforation, although most of them can be managed conservatively. There are two catheters available. Only the ERLA (EndoLumunal Radiofrequency Ablation, Taewoong Medical) catheter can control temperature and impedance, allowing it to reduce the risk of complications.

Abstract	As the frontier of machine learning applications moves further into human interaction, multiple concerns arise regarding automated decision-making. Two of the most critical issues are fairness and data privacy. On the one hand, one must guarantee that automated decisions are not biased against certain groups, especially those unprotected or marginalized. On the other hand, one must ensure that the use of personal information fully abides by privacy regulations and that user identities are kept safe. The balance between privacy, fairness, and predictive performance is complex. However, despite their potential societal impact, we still demonstrate a poor understanding of the dynamics between these optimization vectors. In this paper, we study this three-way tension and how the optimization of each vector impacts others, aiming to inform the future development of safe applications. In light of claims that predictive performance and fairness can be jointly optimized, we find this is only possible at the expense of data privacy. Overall, experimental results show that one of the vectors will be penalized regardless of which of the three we optimize. Nonetheless, we find promising avenues for future work in joint optimization solutions, where smaller trade-offs are observed between the three vectors. Comment: 12, 6 figures and 2 tables

Abstract	Faced with the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, and to better understand and contain the disease's spread, health organisations increased the collaboration with other organisations sharing health data with data scientists and researchers. Data analysis assists such organisations in providing information that could help in decision-making processes. For this purpose, both national and regional health authorities provided health data for further processing and analysis. Shared data must comply with existing data protection and privacy regulations. Therefore, a robust de-identification procedure must be used, and a re-identification risk analysis should also be performed. De-identified data embodies state-of-the-art approaches in Data Protection by Design and Default because it requires the protection of direct and indirect identifiers (not just direct). This article highlights the importance of assessing re-identification risk before data disclosure by analysing a data set of individuals infected by Covid-19 that was made available for research purposes. We stress that it is highly important to make this data available for research purposes and that this process should be based on the state of the art methods in Data Protection by Design and by Default. Our main goal is to consider different re-identification risk analysis scenarios since the information on the intruder side is unknown. Our conclusions show that there is a risk of identity disclosure for all of the studied scenarios. For one, in particular, we proceed to an example of a re-identification attack. The outcome of such an attack reveals that it is possible to identify individuals with no much effort.

Abstract	Information on the effects of government nutrition programmes provided to socially vulnerable children to improve their nutritional status is scarce. We analysed the effectiveness of a nutritional programme, including food supplementation with infant formula, on the evolution of the weight and height of socially vulnerable children from Manaus in the Brazilian Amazon. This study included 7752 children aged 12-24 months admitted to the programme between 2017 and 2020. Weight and height measurements at admission and every three months thereafter were extracted from the programme database. Weight-for-age, weight-for-height, body mass index-for-age (BMI/A), and height-for-age z-scores were analysed using a multilevel linear regression model, which showed a statistically significant decrease in nutritional deficits toward nutritional recovery at follow-up. The programme's effectiveness was evaluated in 1617 children using a paired analysis comparing data from between 12 and 15 months of age at admission and follow-up after 6-9 months. Children admitted with wasting presented an increase in the BMI/A z-score, whereas children admitted with a risk of being overweight and obese had a statistically significant decrease in the BMI/A z-score. Children admitted with stunted growth also showed increased height-for-age z-scores. The nutrition programme was effective for children experiencing wasting and reducing excess weight.

Abstract	Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) often necessitates surgical intervention to alleviate neurovascular bundle compression, which can result in severe postoperative pain. The myriad of surgical techniques available for TOS treatment, the intricate involvement of diverse sensory pathways, and the limited literature on effective analgesic methods for these specific cases underscore the need for successful approaches. This report introduces an efficacious multimodal analgesic strategy that incorporates the erector spinae plane (ESP) block to enhance postoperative pain management after a supraclavicular surgical approach. By combining this fascial block with a comprehensive rationale for its implementation, this case offers valuable insights into improving the postoperative care of TOS patients, ultimately aiming to enhance their comfort and recovery.

Abstract	Objectives: Histopathology is an important method for diagnosing extrapulmonary tuberculosis, yet tissue sections are often negative for mycobacteria after use of acid-fast stain (AFS). This study investigated the mechanism of AFS use and the detrimental effect of histologic processing-in particular, xylene deparaffinization-on AFS and mycobacterial detection. Methods: The target of the fluorescent Auramine O (AuO) AFS was investigated using triple staining with DNA- and RNA-specific dyes. The effect of xylene deparaffinization on the acid fastness of mycobacteria in cultures or tissue sections was studied using AuO fluorescence as a quantitative marker. The xylene method was compared with a novel, solvent-free projected-hot-air deparaffinization (PHAD). Results: Co-localization of AuO with DNA/RNA stains suggests that intracellular nucleic acids are the true target of AFS, producing highly specific patterns. Xylene reduces mycobacterial fluorescence significantly (P < .0001; moderate effect size, r = 0.33). The PHAD process yielded significantly higher fluorescence than xylene deparaffinization in tissues (P < .0001; large effect size, r = 0.85). Conclusions: Auramine O can be applied for nucleic acid staining of mycobacteria in tissues producing typical beaded patterns. Acid-fast staining depends heavily on the integrity of the mycobacterial cell wall, which xylene appears to damage. A solvent-free tissue deparaffinization method has the potential to increase mycobacterial detection significantly.

Abstract	Protecting user data privacy can be achieved via many methods, from statistical transformations to generative models. However, all of them have critical drawbacks. For example, creating a transformed data set using traditional techniques is highly time-consuming. Also, recent deep learning-based solutions require significant computational resources in addition to long training phases, and differentially private-based solutions may undermine data utility. In this paper, we propose $\epsilon$-PrivateSMOTE, a technique designed for safeguarding against re-identification and linkage attacks, particularly addressing cases with a high re-identification risk. Our proposal combines synthetic data generation via noise-induced interpolation to obfuscate high-risk cases while maximising the data utility of the original data. Compared to multiple traditional and state-of-the-art privacy-preservation methods on 17 data sets, $\epsilon$-PrivateSMOTE achieves competitive results in privacy risk and better predictive performance than generative adversarial networks, variational autoencoders, and differential privacy baselines. It also improves energy consumption and time requirements by at least a factor of 11 and 15, respectively. Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures and 2 tables
