Lebanon is an eastern Mediterranean country inhabited by approximately four million people with a wide variety of ethnicities and religions, including Muslim, Christian, Druze. In the present study, 926 Lebanese men were typed Y-chromosomal SNP STR markers, unusually, male genetic variation within was found to be more strongly structured religious affiliation than geography. We therefore tested hypothesis that migrations historical times could have contributed this situation. Y-haplogroup...
Background. Health professionals and researchers have become increasingly interested in biomarkers that help them diagnosis of infections with recent growing attention to procalcitonin (PCT) pro-adrenomedullin (proADM).
Objectives: Infections in critically ill patients continue to impose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We seek investigate the utility of proadrenomedullin procalcitonin as prognostic biomarkers febrile with cancer compare their performance that C-reactive protein. Design: Single-center prospective cohort study. Setting: Tertiary care, academic, university hospital. Patients: One hundred fourteen fever. Interventions: None. Measurements Main Results: Blood samples were withdrawn on day...
Background While therapeutic bronchoscopy has been used to treat malignant central (CAO) airway obstruction for >25 years, there are no studies quantifying the impact of on long-term quality-adjusted survival. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study consecutive patients undergoing CAO. Patients had follow-up at 1 week and monthly thereafter until death. Outcomes included technical success (ie, relief anatomic obstruction), dyspnoea, health-related quality life (HRQOL)...
This prediction model can estimate the probability of N0, N1, and N2|3 disease in patients with NSCLC. The has potential to facilitate decision-making NSCLC when stereotactic ablative radiotherapy is an option.
Background: Population aging and lung cancer screening strategies may lead to an increase in detection of early-stage medical inoperable patients. Recent advances peripheral bronchoscopy have made it a suitable platform for ablation small tumors. Methods: We investigated the tissue-ablative effect diode laser bronchoscopically applied by delivery fiber (LDF) with wide aperture on porcine parenchyma. Laser was tested ex vivo identify most effective power settings LDF. Chest computed...
Granulation tissue is a common complication of airway stenting, but no published methods can quantify the volume and type that develops.To use design-based stereology to changes in associated with stenting.We compared drug-eluting stents (DES) filled gendine standard silicone pigs an assessor-blinded randomized trial. Tracheal were placed via rigid bronchoscopy. After 1 month, animals euthanized necropsies performed. Antimicrobial effects DES assessed trachea samples, on surface, residual...
Central airway tumors can occasionally be misdiagnosed as a chronic disease. We present case of central carcinoid tumor that was mistaken asthma for many years.
