In patients recovering from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia, respiratory symptoms and radiographic pneumonic infiltrate occasionally persist for many weeks even after viral clearance; thereby, making it difficult to decide on an appropriate treatment. Here, we describe a 46-year-old woman with COVID-19 pneumonia who had persistent infiltration almost 4 illness onset, despite clearance, was subsequently diagnosed secondary organizing (SOP) using video-assisted thoracoscopic...

The prognostic impact of the expression CD8 and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) has not been established in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Surgical tissue specimens were obtained from 136 NSCLC who underwent surgical resection. levels PD-L1 assessed using microarrays immunohistochemistry.The CD8-positive group showed significant increases overall survival (OS) (median, reached [NR] vs. 28.452 months) relapse-free (RFS) NR 14.916 compared CD8-negative group.

Abstract This study examined the effect of three compatibilizers, namely, a hybrid compatibilizer composed polypropylene‐maleic anhydride (PP‐ g ‐MAH) and polyethylene‐glycidyl methacrylate (PE‐ ‐GMA), single PP‐ ‐MAH, PE‐ ‐GMA, on mechanical, morphological, rheological properties ternary blend polypropylene (PP), poly(lactic acid; PLA), toughening modifier. The results tensile strength, flexural impact strength tests for blends before after hydrolysis, revealed that with content 3 phr...

Synbiotics is the term used for a mixture of probiotics (live microbial feed additives that beneficially affects host animal) and prebiotics (non-digestible food ingredients affect organism).This study investigated effect from anaerobic microflora with on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, noxious gas emission fecal population in weaning pigs.150 pigs an initial BW 6.80±0.32kg (20 d age) were randomly assigned to 5 dietary treatments as follows: i) US, basal diet+0.15%antibiotics...

Patients with cardiopulmonary failure may not be fully supported typical configurations of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), either veno-arterial (VA) or veno-venous (VV). Veno-arterial-venous (VAV)-ECMO is a technique used to support the systems during periods inadequate gas exchange and perfusion. In severe case coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which simultaneously affects heart lung, VAV-ECMO improve patient’s recovery potential. We report 72-year-old woman acute respiratory...

With rising obesity rates in children, it is increasingly difficult to differentiate between type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM, T2DM) on clinical grounds alone. Using C-peptide as a method of classifying (DM) has been suggested. This study aimed find correlation fasting level DM types children adolescents.A total 223 diabetic newly diagnosed at 5 hospitals January 2001 December 2012, were enrolled this study. Initial classification was based laboratory data including diagnosis; final...

Lymphangioma is a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system and thought to result from failure connect with venous system. chest wall very rare disease entity, only few cases have ever been documented in literature. To best our knowledge, there recurrent cavernous lymphangioma after surgical excision cystic hygroma on same side wall. Here, we report case patient who had undergone 19 years earlier.

Abstract Background: In individuals with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia, radiographic pneumonic infiltrates may persist for several weeks, even after viral clearance, thereby making it difficult to decide on an appropriate treatment and infection control strategy. Case presentation: We describe a 46-year-old woman COVID-19 pneumonia who had persistent infiltration respiratory symptoms almost 4 weeks illness onset, despite was subsequently diagnosed secondary organizing using...

Pulmonary emphysema is a major component of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer. However the prognostic significance quantitative severity in patients with cancer unclear. We analyzed whether numerical value factor for recurrence surgically resected non-small cell cancer.We quantified whole regional lobes 45 (mean age 68.0 years) using an automated chest computed tomography-based program. Predictive factors were investigated Cox proportional hazards model. Recurrence-free...

Plasmacytoma is a plasma cell neoplasm that locally infiltrates bone or spreads to extramedullary areas. A new World Health Organization criterion defines solitary plasmacytoma of as localized tumor consisting cells identical those seen in myeloma, which manifested osteolytic lesion radiological evaluation. Primary tumors the sternum are generally malignant, and plasmacytomas very rare tumors. We present herein case patient who had primary sternal with no evidence multiple myeloma.

Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax is generally managed by surgery, if was not improved following chest tube insertion or in the event of persistent air leakage lasting more than 5 days. However, surgery an option, chemical pleurodesis with sclerosants can be performed. Several have been used secondary pneumothorax, there still controversy for what ideal sclerosant pneumothorax. The use Viscum album L. patients aged >65 years has described to date, despite its extensive use. authors tried...
