Poiseuille Flow Through Chest Tubes: A Scoping Review [PDF]

open access: yes
Background: Chest tubes are used daily to treat patients with chest pathologies such as haemothorax. However, there is much uncertainty around the fluid dynamics of chest tubes.

Circulating microRNA signatures of cachexia and cancer in Canis familiaris as a comparative oncology model for human disease

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of cachexia and sex‐specific cancer in senior dogs. In 25 client‐owned dogs, four circulating miRNAs (miR‐15a, miR‐15b, miR‐16, miR‐140) were downregulated in cachexia, with miR‐16 the strongest individual biomarker (AUC = 0.899).

Is it safe to remove the chest tube in the operating room after robotic lobectomy, segmentectomy, and wedge resection with lymphadenectomy?

open access: yesFrontiers in Surgery
BackgroundWe have previously shown that it is safe to remove chest tubes within four hours after robotic pulmonary resection with aggressive thoracic lymphadenectomy in patients without an air leak.MethodsThis is a prospective quality improvement study ...

Tube thoracostomy training with a medical simulator is associated with faster, more successful performance of the procedure [PDF]

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine, 2016
Objective Tube thoracostomy (TT) is a commonly performed intensive care procedure. Simulator training may be a good alternative method for TT training, compared with conventional methods such as apprenticeship and animal skills laboratory. However, there

Preoperative circulating tumor cells integrated with imaging analysis for prognostic evaluation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood before surgery may help predict outcomes in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we show when combined with tumor size and lymph node involvement from routine imaging, CTC status identifies high‐risk patients with poorer survival—offering a simple, minimally invasive tool ...

The effect of tube diameter on vertical two-phase flow regimes in small tubes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Flow boiling flow patterns in four circular tubes with internal diameters of 1.10, 2.01, 2.88 and 4.26 mm were investigated in the present project. The experiments were conducted in vertical upward two-phase flow using R134a as the working fluid.

Intrapatient tumour heterogeneity and clonal evolution in an autopsy study of metastatic salivary gland cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumour heterogeneity and clonal evolution of metastatic salivary gland cancer were evaluated in two patients with adenoid carcinoma and one patient with myoepithelial carcinoma. Radiology‐guided autopsy enabled multi‐region sampling (total samples n = 149), followed by whole‐genome sequencing and phylogenetic reconstruction (17 tumour samples, 4–7 per ...

Forced-convection condensation heat-transfer on horizontal integral-fin tubes including effects of liquid retention [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
PhDAccurate and repeatable heat-transfer data are reported for forced-convection filmwise condensation of steam and ethylene glycol flowing vertically downward over two single, horizontal instrumented integral-fin tubes and one plain tube. Vapour-side,

Transection of lung as rare complication of pigtail catheter placement

open access: yesRadiology Case Reports, 2021
Pigtail catheters and chest tubes are commonly used for effective resolution of pneumothoraces and drainage of simple pleural effusions. Given their small calibers, better flexibility and more ease at the time of insertion, pigtail catheters are ...

Early Clinical, Imaging, and Pathological Characteristics of SRPK3/TTN‐Digenic Myopathy

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy was recently established as a skeletal muscle myopathy caused by digenic inheritance. This study characterizes the early clinical presentation of SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy in one previously reported and seven newly identified pediatric patients.
