To compare and analyze the clinical effects of thoracoscopic lobectomy and segmentectomy in stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ⋯ Compared with lobectomy, thoracoscopic segmentectomy is more effective in the treatment of stage I NSCLC, with less bleeding and mild pain, which can alleviate pulmonary function injury and reduce postoperative complications that is conducive to the improved prognosis of patients.

To determine the frequency of new-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) in patients with COVID-19 in a tertiary care hospital. ⋯ A significant number of patients with COVID-19 infection are prone to develop new-onset diabetes during their admission to the hospital.
-
Retrospective study and analysis of the safety and efficacy of Rh-Rh-endostatinstatin combined with simultaneous radiotherapy in the treatment of cervical cancer. ⋯ Our finding revealed that Rh-endostatinstatin combined with simultaneous radiotherapy showed better clinical outcomes and favorable toxic profile than that of radiotherapy alone in the treatment of cervical cancer.
-
To compare the functional and radiological outcomes of treatment of volar Barton's fractures using T plate with and without distal end screws. ⋯ Both treatment approaches appear to yield comparable outcomes in terms of clinical assessment, Stewart scores, and fracture healing, with a potential advantage for T-plate without distal end screw in callus formation at the 90th day.Trial registration: IRCT20221231056999N1.

Case Reports
A rare cause of erectile dysfunction: Bilateral thrombosed internal iliac artery aneurysms.
Internal iliac artery aneurysms are a relatively uncommon condition that can have serious consequences if left untreated. This paper presents a case of erectile dysfunction caused by thrombosis of the internal iliac artery aneurysms in a 52-years-old male patient with common iliac and internal iliac artery aneurysms. Following the intracavernous self-injection treatment, the patient's complaints about erectile dysfunction ceased. ⋯ Erectile dysfunction itself is not a life-threatening condition. However, it should be highlighted that erectile dysfunction can be a sign of life-threatening iliac artery diseases, as in this case. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize the potential seriousness of this condition and to investigate it thoroughly.
