Introduction Current guidelines recommend invasive mediastinal staging in patients with centrally located radiographic stage T1N0M0 nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The lack of a specific definition central tumour has resulted discrepancies among and heterogeneity practice patterns. Methods Our objective was to study definitions centrality their association occult nodal disease. Pre-operative chest computed tomography scans from clinical (c) NSCLC were processed dedicated software system...
Although extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used in many different populations, its use pregnant or postpartum patients not widely studied. This article reviews the ECMO experience this population at a large urban hospital. Electronic medical records for all who required between 2012 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Data on clinical characteristics, outcomes, complications gathered. Comparisons survivors nonsurvivors completed. Ten identified. The presented as...
In the unfortunate event of massive envenomation and precipitation multiorgan failure, therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) can be considered as a modality for therapy. We present patient case where TPE potentially allowed removal toxin with subsequent clinical improvement.
Objective: The incidence and prevalence of cognitive decline dementia are significantly higher among African Americans compared with non-Hispanic Whites.The aim this study was to determine whether inheritance the sickle cell trait (SCT) i.e. heterozygosity for mutation increases risk or Among Americans.Methods: We studied American participants enrolled in Atherosclerosis Risk Communities study.SCT genotype at baseline outcome data from assessments visits 2, 4 5, an MRI performed visit 5 were...
We report an empyema treated with antimicrobial therapy that developed reexpansion pulmonary edema after intrapleural fibrinolytic and enzyme therapy. Rapid evacuation of pleural fluid likely contributed to the development edema.
