Intracranial arachnoid cysts are mostly congenital benign lesions, and generally speaking, if they are asymptomatic, surgery is not required.

However, if a head injury or severe impact may cause a cyst to rupture, form a tension effusion, or develop intracranial hemorrhage, surgery is needed as soon as possible.

If you have been found by a physical examination and know that you have this disease, then in most cases, you do not need treatment, only need regular check-ups, and avoid strenuous exercise or sports that may cause head injury in daily life; At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to observation, and once there is headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting or convulsions, etc., you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

After this operation, East Africa Hope Hospital also benefited a lot.

However, after all, they only cooperated with the work and did not carry out the operation themselves, so many doctors asked the dean Chen Zhining for advice, if they could ask Dr. Zhou or Dr. Grace to give them a training and answer their questions, the harvest would be greater.

Chen Zhining looked for an opportunity to report to Zhou Qiao.

Zhou Qiao agreed without any hesitation. Because, this is my own hospital. Luo Ya and him are not two people, they are better than two people, and he himself has 30% of the shares here, which is the second largest shareholder after Luo Ya, so there is nothing to say.

Zhou Qiao thought about it and gave this opportunity to Grace.

Grace carefully prepared more than 50 exquisite PPTs and broke down the case and related surgeries for the team at Hope Hospital in East Africa through video conference.

After the training of relevant knowledge and skills, the level of neurosurgery in Hope Hospital has naturally improved a lot.

But the level of medicine cannot be achieved overnight, and not everyone is as systematic as Zhou Qiao.

It is hoped that if the hospital wants to carry out this type of surgery alone, it will take a certain amount of time to accumulate.

Grace also started writing her dissertation, and she found that everyone else was writing, not only Nanako Chiba, but even Dr. Stephanie with a big belly, typing on the keyboard.

Iris Clinic, Zhou Qiao has the highest cumulative impact factor, full 1768, Murphy is 1451, Stephanie is 1325, Nanako Chiba is 492, and Grace?

There is only a poor 89, and it has not yet broken a hundred. This is still the accumulation of her previous student days.

When I was a student, I was able to have an impact factor of 89, which was quite powerful. I thought he was a genius, but compared with these perverts, he really can't even compare to a fraction of others.

Grace also felt a deep pressure, and had the same idea as Nanako Chiba before, that is, to fight for men here, do you still have to fight academically?

Just by her appearance, it seems that she is really a little worse.

As everyone knows, she hasn't been added by Zhou Qiao yet, so she must be temporarily incomparable.

……

"Mom, can I try an artificial heart?" At the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, in the heart center ward, Olivia, a nine-year-old girl, was lying on the hospital bed, and her immature voice was pitiful.

Her mother, Mrs. Polson, stroked her hair and complimented her with encouraging eyes: "Of course, little darling." Your father and I also planned it this way, but we were worried that you would be scared and didn't dare to tell you in advance. ”

"If I get an artificial heart, will I be able to recover? Can you dance and play sports like any other child? Little Olivia's face was haggard, but her weak eyes were still full of light.

It's the desire to keep living.

She overheard her parents mention artificial hearts once, and the little ones remembered it. At that time, she was sleeping, maybe her parents didn't know that she was awake, and she heard her whispering and chatting on the side.

"Yes, you can!" Mrs. Poolson kissed her daughter's forehead and encouraged, "Don't worry, we have made an appointment with the best cardiologist in California, well, it is Dr. Zhou Qiaozhou, who you have been thinking about before, he will lead the team to come over and help you with the operation, and you will get better soon." ”

"That's great...... I'm so tired and want to sleep for a while. Olivia closed her eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Glancing at the ECG monitor on the side, the heart was still beating normally, Mrs. Poulson couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then walked out.

Usually at home, every time her daughter falls asleep, she can't help but test her nose, or gently lean close to her daughter's chest to listen to whether her heart is still working. It is much more convenient to have an ECG monitor in the hospital.

His husband, Mr. Poulson, had just returned from the doctor's office when Mrs. Poulson threw herself into his arms, tears streaming uncontrollably.

"What's wrong, baby?" Mr. Poulson asked.

Mrs. Poulson wiped away her tears and said, "Our daughter is far braver than we think, she has just ...... She just offered to try an artificial heart. ”

“…… This is good news," Mr. Poulson was stunned for a moment, then hugged his wife tightly, patted her on the back, and comforted, "Dr. Zhou has also promised to arrange surgery for us as soon as possible, and the baby will be fine." ”

"Hopefully."

Even though the famous Dr. Zhou in the United States intervened, Mrs. Poulson was still very worried, after all, it was related to the safety of their daughter's life and future health. It's a lifetime event.

Whoever encounters such a thing will inevitably feel uneasy and nervous.

Their daughter, six years ago, was diagnosed with DMD (Duchenne muscular dystrophy) syndrome.

Olivia was only three years old at the time.

Other children can already run and jump when they are three years old, and they don't know how lively they are, but their little princess can only walk swayingly, which is distressing to watch.

They originally lived in the upper floors of the city center, because they were close to work, but because their daughter suffered from this disease, their legs and feet were inconvenient, so they moved to a slightly farther suburbs and spent a lot of money to buy a villa.

However, as time went on, the child's condition became more and more serious, and about eight months ago, the child lost the ability to walk and had to travel in a wheelchair.

Even so, little Olivia still insisted on going to school, but at the end of last year, she suffered from severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and inability to eat.

At first, Olivia's condition was relieved by medication, but as soon as she was discharged from the hospital, she developed a condition and had to be hospitalized and relied on intravenous medication.

Then, in just a few months, the condition progressed rapidly, and he was hospitalized three times for recurrent heart failure, and his condition got worse and worse.

Not long ago, the doctor regretfully told them that Olivia's condition had progressed to end-stage heart failure.

End-stage heart failure, which cannot be reversed, can only be replaced by heart transplantation or artificial heart.

Heart transplants require suitable donors and are scarce, but artificial hearts are ready for surgery.

In addition, DMD syndrome is not a good indication for heart transplantation.

This is the only option that the couple can make.

Originally, the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center could also do artificial hearts, but Mrs. Poulson was a fan of Xue Qiao's selection and was also a fan of the Iris Clinic, so after discussing with her husband, she made an appointment for Zhou Qiao to have surgery.

They were worried that their daughter was scared, so they kept it a secret, but they didn't expect that today, their daughter took the initiative to ask to try an artificial heart, and her brave and sensible appearance was distressing.
