Rodent lungs undergo full histologic recovery within 1 week following unilateral lung contusion (LC). However, when LC is followed by hemorrhagic shock (HS), healing impaired. We hypothesize that the intravenous administration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in animals undergoing combined HS (LCHS) will improve wound healing.Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 5-6 per group) were subjected to LCHS with or without injection a single dose 5 × 10 MSCs return shed blood after HS. Rats sacrificed 7...
Background: COVID-19 patients requiring mechanical ventilation may develop significant pneumomediastinum and sub-cutaneous emphysema without associated pneumothorax (SWAP). Prophylactic chest tube placement or sub-fascial "blowholes" are usually recommended to prevent tension clinical decline. Risk of iatrogenic lung injury release virus into the environment is high. Incidence conservative management data such barotraumatic complications during pandemic lacking. Methods: All with mediastinal...
ABSTRACT Background Surgery has been the standard procedure for resectable primary LC. Survival after stereotactic body radiation therapy, another treatment, is significantly biased due to preponderance of data from patients deemed unsuitable surgery. We examined survival refusing surgery in favor therapy. Methods used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database identify with Stage I NSCLC diagnosed between 2007 2016. Patients were excluded if it was unknown they recommended or...
The study objective was to determine the relationship between lung resection and development of postoperative hiatal hernia.Preoperative computed tomography imaging from 373 patients International Early Lung Cancer Action Program Initiative for Research on Treatment were compared at a median 31.1 months follow-up after clinical early-stage non-small cell cancer. Incidence new hernia or changes preexisting hernias recorded evaluated by patient demographics, surgical approach, extent...
Background: Decortication of the lung, either by video-thoracoscopy or thoracotomy is potentially a morbid procedure and has significantly higher mortality compared with other major thoracic procedures. Much this difference can be attributed to significant comorbidities non-elective nature surgery. Our primary goal was recognize preoperative unique characteristics patients who had postoperative within first 30 days. secondary build score system calculate odds death after decortication....
Abstract Background The Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (ILE) remains the procedure of choice for localized middle or lower esophageal carcinoma. Nevertheless, anastomotic leak a common complication with rates from 3% to 25% and stricture rate as high 40%. frequency these complications suggests that itself may have inherent limitations including use potentially ischemic tissue esophagogastric anastomosis. We introduce modified technique reduces operative steps, preserves blood supply, uses Methods...
Background Patients with early-stage non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have high survival rates, but patients often say they did not anticipate the effect of surgery on their postsurgical quality life (QoL). This study adds to literature regarding patient and surgeon interactions highlights areas where current approach is providing good communication. Design Since its start in 2016, Initiative for Early Lung Cancer Research Treatment (IELCART), a prospective cohort study, has enrolled 543...

Following trauma, transfusion of aged stored blood is often necessary yet associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Despite replacement, many patients have a prolonged anemia requiring further transfusions. The effects on bone marrow (BM) hematopoiesis not been studied, we hypothesized that suppresses BM function.Blood from Sprague-Dawley rats was for 1, 14, or 28 days the industry preservative citrate-phosphate-dextrose-adenine-1 (CPDA-1). For in vitro studies, 5% supernatant...
