ABSTRACT Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by vasculopathy, fibrosis, and immune dysregulation. Anti‐SS‐A antibodies (anti‐SSA) have been reported to confer severe clinical manifestations in some Western and Japanese cohorts. We aimed to determine whether anti‐SSA seropositivity affects clinical outcomes in Japanese patients. We

Wedge resection is an optimal choice for NSCLCs ≤ 2 cm, especially for GGO‐dominant tumors. However, segmentectomy is more appropriate when the CTR is > 0.25. ABSTRACT Background The role of wedge resection in the treatment of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with solid components ≤ 2 cm remains controversial.

A matter arising: When should inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic diseases be considered ‘early’?
Timely recognition of inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic diseases (IARDs) is important to optimize the early diagnosis with tailored interventions and possible prevention of irreversible organ damage. This narrative review provides an update by summarizing the advances in identifying the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis and ...

Abstract Background Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are characterized by progressive fibrosis, in which extracellular matrix remodelling is regulated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs). The MMP‐9/TIMP‐1 balance has been implicated in fibrogenesis, but its role in human ILD remains incompletely defined.

We evaluated lobe‐specific lung function recovery at 6 months after lobectomy in 419 early‐stage NSCLC patients. The surgical approach, right upper lobectomy compared with right lower lobectomy, and reduced postoperative physical activity were associated with poor lung function recovery.

Preoperative DLCO predicts severe early complications after liver transplantation
Severe early complications are common after liver transplantation (LT) and are a key determinant of LT-related morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to assess whether lung function measured in the pre-operative period predicted complicated outcomes in the first month after LT.Patients with mild-to-moderate liver disease (Model for End ...
