Primary graft dysfunction is a common complication after lung transplantation and significant risk factor for short- long-term mortality.We examined the impact of primary on bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.We performed retrospective cohort study 334 adult transplant recipients at our program graded severity according to International Society Heart Lung Transplantation definition. We evaluated acute rejection, lymphocytic bronchitis, syndrome stage 1, using univariable multivariable Cox...
2][3][4] In 2011, it is estimated that 156,900 deaths (85,600 in men, 71,300 women) from lung cancer will occur the United States. 4Five-year survival rates for are only approximately 15.6%, partly because most patients have advanced-stage at initial diagnosis (http:// seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/lungb.html). 5hese facts, combined with success of screening improving outcomes cervical, colon, and breast cancers,
Objective Recent experience with traumatic diaphragmatic hernias at the Massachusetts General Hospital was reviewed to identify pitfalls in diagnosis and treatment of this injury. Summary Background Data Traumatic disruption is a common injury marker severe trauma. It occurs 5% hospitalized automobile accident victims 10% penetrating chest Numerous reports describe splenic rupture 25% patients blunt rupture, liver lacerations 25%, pelvic fracture 40%, thoracic aortic tears 5%. Diaphragmatic...
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a common early complication after lung transplantation. We conducted retrospective cohort study of 334 recipients to evaluate the impact PGD graded at 24, 48 and 72 h on risk bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) development (stage 1) progression (stages 2 3). constructed multivariable Cox proportional hazards models determine BOS attributable in context other potential factors including acute rejection, lymphocytic bronchitis respiratory viral...
PURPOSE To provide evidence-based recommendations to practicing clinicians on radiographic imaging and biomarker surveillance strategies after definitive curative-intent therapy in patients with stage I-III non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) SCLC. METHODS ASCO convened an Expert Panel of medical oncology, thoracic surgery, radiation pulmonary, radiology, primary care, advocacy experts conduct a literature search, which included systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials,...
<h3>Importance</h3> The association between delayed surgical treatment and oncologic outcomes in patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is poorly understood given that prior studies have used imprecise definitions for the date of diagnosis. <h3>Objective</h3> To use a uniform method to quantify delay examine its several outcomes. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This retrospective cohort study was conducted using novel data set from Veterans Health Administration (VHA)...
To review the 10-year clinical experience of a single institution's adult lung transplant program.Since July 1988, 450 transplants have been performed in 443 patients.

Summary Background Data Myasthenia is believed to be an autoimmune disorder characterized by increasing fatigue exertion. The role management disease remains unproven, but there widespread acceptance notion that complete improves course disease. Complete excision thymus goal all cases;...
