Low-attenuation areas assessed by computed tomography reflect the extent of pathological emphysema and correlate with airflow limitation mortality in patients chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The cumulative size distribution low-attenuation area clusters follows a power law characterized an exponent, D. values D complexity terminal airspace geometry sensitively detect alveolar structural changes. Exacerbations disease have negative impact on lung function prognosis. However,...
Pleomorphic carcinoma (PC) is a rare malignant lung tumor with poorer prognosis compared to other histological types of non-small cell cancer. However, several recent immunohistochemical studies revealed that low MIB-1 index good prognostic marker in patients PC. We report the case patient PC and single brain metastasis achieved long-term recurrence-free survival following treatment combined modality therapy. In this case, was reduced by gemcitabine-based chemotherapy, which may have led...
Abstract Background Health status, dyspnea and psychological status are important clinical outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, forced expiratory volume one second (FEV 1 ) measured by spirometry, the standard measurement of airflow limitation, has only a weak relationship with these COPD. Recently, addition to impulse oscillometry (IOS) measuring lung resistance (R) reactance (X) is increasingly being used assess functional impairment. Methods We aimed identify...
Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is a rare and fatal lung complication associated with cancer. Diagnosing PTTM challenging due to its rapid progression nonspecific clinical or imaging findings, which often result in postmortem identification. Treatment options are limited, long-term management remains poorly understood. This report describes 50-year-old patient adenocarcinoma who was clinically diagnosed showed improvement early chemotherapy initiation. Disease activity...
Background and objective: Chest CT has been widely used for the evaluation of structural changes in lung parenchyma airways cross‐sectional studies. There no report on annual airway dimensions as assessed by COPD patients. The objective this study was to investigate attenuation using patients with evaluate correlations among measurements pulmonary function. Methods: Eighty‐three men had completed five assessments scans function tests over 4 years. Airway basal segment bronchi images were...
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is a unique disorder that usually diagnosed on the basis of high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings. It unclear whether CPFE an independent prognostic factor in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therefore, we conducted retrospective analysis to assess impact prognosis completely resected NSCLC. We retrospectively reviewed 365 NSCLC who underwent complete resection at Tazuke Kofukai Medical Research Institute, Kitano...
Aspiration pneumonia is an urgent health concern with high mortality and long hospitalization in industrialized aging countries. However, there no information about the effectiveness of azithromycin (AZM) for treatment aspiration pneumonia. This study investigated if AZM effective Patients risk multidrug-resistant pathogens were included this prospective at Kishiwada City Hospital from December 2011 to June 2013. divided into ampicillin/sulbactam (ABPC/SBT) (intravenous injection) groups....
It has recently been suggested that virtual-assisted lung mapping may enable safer and more reliable intraoperative navigation compared to conventional preoperative marking strategies. This study aimed examine the relationship between emphysematous lungs visibility of markings.We retrospectively analyzed data 21 patients who underwent followed by resection October 2013 May 2015. The markings was graded. degree pulmonary emphysema assessed percentage low attenuation area on computed...
Cough affects all individuals at different times, and its economic burden is substantial. Despite these widespread adverse effects, cough research relies on animal models, which hampers our understanding of the fundamental cause cough. Postnasal drip speculated to be one most frequent causes chronic cough; however, this a matter debate. Here we show that mechanical stimuli by postnasal We distinguished human from sneezes expiration reflexes airflow patterns. sneeze exhibited one-peak...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is a fatal cancer-related pulmonary complication with rapidly progressing dyspnea and hypertension that occasionally induces sudden death. We report the first case of PTTM induced by ureter carcinoma. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> The patient was an 80-year-old Japanese female chief complaints dry cough dyspnea. An echocardiogram revealed severe hypertension. A chest...
We herein report a 66-year-old man with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who developed durvalumab-associated myocarditis. The patient underwent durvalumab administration every two weeks following concurrent chemoradiotherapy, without any adverse events or apparent disease progression. He presented fatigue and dyspnea on exertion seven months after the first administration. Myocarditis was suspected based laboratory data, an electrocardiogram, echocardiography, magnetic...
Key Clinical Message We report a rare case of metastasis‐induced acute pancreatitis ( MIAP ) from small cell lung cancer SCLC diagnosed on autopsy, indicating diagnosis with . Our suggests that can arise as complication and has an extremely poor prognosis.

Thromboembolism is a known vascular toxicity associated with tumor chemotherapy. The combination of pemetrexed and carboplatin has exhibited significant antitumor activity, mild manageable in patients advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), whereas cerebral arterial embolism not been recognized as side effect this regimen. This the case report an unusual NSCLC, which patient suffered left middle following A 62-year-old non-smoking woman, diagnosed stage IV adenocarcinoma, was...
To investigate the association between pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria infection (PNTMI) and prognosis after resection for non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we retrospectively analyzed 391 consecutive patients with NSCLC who underwent surgery. Subjects were grouped based on with/without PNTMI defined by two criteria (12 23 subjects). Kaplan–Meier analysis showed no significant difference groups regarding overall survival (p = 0.800 p 0.912 criteria). was not identified as a factor...
Despite claims that Taenia saginata taeniosis/cysticercosis cause adverse financial and socioeconomic effects on cattle farmers, there is no recent empirical evidence to justify this assertion in Botswana. This paper provides analysis of bovine taeniosis cysticercosis farmers' wellbeing Interviews observations using non-participatory structured questionnaire were used collect primary data from industry stakeholders ( =149). Socio-economic determined by analyzing fourteen (14) objectively...
Long-acting β2-adrenoceptor agonists have been shown to increase the risk of atrial arrhythmias in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The aim this study was investigate whether perioperative long-acting treatment would postoperative after lung cancer surgery disease patients.We retrospectively analyzed 174 consecutive non-small-cell who underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy. subjects were divided into those without treatment. Postoperative cardiopulmonary...
Previously reported prognostic tools for patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) include factors found postoperatively, but not preoperatively. However, it would be important to predict patient prognosis before NSCLC resection. To suggest a novel preoperative tool, we evaluated the relationship of survival NSCLC. We retrospectively reviewed data two independent cohorts completely develop index in one cohort, overall (OS) was using Cox proportional hazards model. assessed...
