<b><i>Background:</i></b> New therapies have emerged in the treatment of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and, therefore, there is a real need to evaluate efficacy whole-lung lavage (WLL) this rare disease. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The aim study was assess WLL patients with PAP. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We included 33 from 12 centers, which are members French-Speaking Thoracic Endoscopy Group, for analysis. Data...
Corynebacterium diphtheriae is the etiological agent of diphtheria, a disease caused by presence diphtheria toxin. However, an increasing number records report non-toxigenic C. infections. Here, strain was recovered from patient with past history bronchiectasis who developed severe tracheo-bronchitis multiple whitish lesions distal trachea and mainstem bronchi. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS), performed in parallel PCR targeting toxin gene Elek test, provided clinically relevant results short...
Respiratory motion negatively affects PET/CT image quality and quantitation. A novel Pulsatile-Flow Ventilation (PFV) system reducing respiratory was applied in spontaneously breathing patients to induce sustained apnea during PET/CT.Four (aged 65 ± 14 y) underwent for pulmonary nodule staging (mean, 11 7 mm; range, 5-18 mm) at 63 3 min after (18)F-FDG injection then 47 afterward, PFV-induced (with imaging lasting ≥8.5 min). Anterior-posterior thoracic amplitude, SUVmax, SUVpeak (SUVmean a...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest has long suffered from its sensitivity to respiratory and cardiac motion with an intrinsically low signal noise ratio a limited spatial resolution. The purpose this study was perform MRI under adapted non invasive pulsatile flow ventilation system (high frequency percussive ventilation, HFPV®) allowing breath hold durations 10 15 times longer than other existing systems.One volunteer one patient known for thymic lesion underwent percussion...
Background Although ultrashort echo time (UTE) sequences allow excellent assessment of lung parenchyma, image quality remains lower than that computed tomography (CT). Purpose To investigate a high‐frequency noninvasive ventilation (HF‐NIV) technique allowing stabilized inspiration and to compare with current dedicated MR sequences. Study Type Prospective. Population Ten healthy volunteers. Field Strength/Sequence 3D radial UTE sequence at 1.5T. Assessment UTE‐HF‐NIV was compared...
Evaluation of complex, acquired, non-malignant tracheo/broncho-oesophageal fistulas (TEF) repaired by extrathoracic pedicled muscle flaps that were, in addition to their interposition between the airways and gastro-intestinal tract, patched into or airway defects if primary closure seemed risky.A single institution experience patients treated 2003 2015. Twenty-two required TEF repair following oesophageal surgery (18), Boerhaave syndrome (1), chemotherapy for mediastinal lymphoma carinal...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> In non-small-cell lung cancer patients, high peak oxygen uptake (peak V̇<sub>O<sub>2</sub></sub>) predicts lower rates of postoperative complications and better long-term survival. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) may negatively impact V̇<sub>O<sub>2</sub></sub>. <h3>METHODS:</h3> Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) was performed in 34 consecutive stage IIIA/IIIB subjects scheduled for elective surgery. Using multivariate linear regression adjusted potential...
Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) is currently the reference modality for detection and follow-up of pulmonary nodules. While 2D measurements are commonly used in clinical practice to assess growth, increasingly 3D volume being recommended. The goal this pilot study was evaluate preliminarily capabilities MRI using ultra-short echo time lung nodule volumetry, as it would provide a radiation-free task. Material Methods: Artificial nodules were manufactured out Agar measured an sequence....
