Pneumococcal Pleural Empyemas in Children [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Infectious Diseases, 1996

Postoperative Ischemic Bronchitis Progressing to Bronchopleural Fistula After Robotic Lobectomy: A First Report

open access: yesRespirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
We report the first case of extensive mainstem bronchial ischemic necrosis following robotic lobectomy presenting as delayed bronchopleural fistula (BPF) in a 51‐year‐old male. As robotic lobectomy enables more extensive lymphadenectomy than conventional approaches, pulmonologists should recognize postoperative ischemic bronchitis (POIB) as a potential

Perioperative Aspirin Continuation in Patients Requiring Secondary Prevention Undergoing Anatomical Lung Resection: A Propensity Score‐Weighted Analysis

open access: yesThoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 14, July 2026.
In 625 patients undergoing anatomical lung resection, we compared perioperative aspirin continuation with no antithrombotic therapy using propensity‐score (IPW) weighting. Continuing aspirin showed only a nonsignificant trend toward major bleeding (OR 5.87, p = 0.08) and no increase in cardiac or cerebrovascular events. Conversely, patients who stopped
