Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction [PDF]
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2010 The application of lung volume reduction surgery in clinical practice is limited by high postoperative morbidity and stringent selection criteria. This has been the impetus for the development of bronchoscopic approaches to lung volume reduction.

Role of Pulmonary Function Tests in the Assessment of Lung Impairment in Patients with Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases: Association with Clinicoradiological-Histopathological Profile [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018 Introduction: Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Disease (DPLD) is known to be a common sequela of various lung insults. DPLD is diagnosed by various modalities such as clinical, radiological, lung function and histopathological techniques.

Lung Volume Reduction Reoperations [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2008 Optimal management of emphysematous patients who have lost the benefits achieved after lung volume reduction surgery is a clinical dilemma. We have hypothesized that in stringently selected instances, lung volume reduction reoperations might be considered as a salvage surgical treatment.

Lung volume reduction for emphysema [PDF]
The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, 2017 Advanced emphysema is a lung disease in which alveolar capillary units are destroyed and supporting tissue is lost. The combined effect of reduced gas exchange and changes in airway dynamics impairs expiratory airflow and leads to progressive air trapping. Pharmacological therapies have limited effects. Surgical resection of the most destroyed sections

Effect of variations in atelectasis on tumor displacement during radiation therapy for locally advanced lung cancer [PDF]
, 2017 Purpose Atelectasis (AT), or collapsed lung, is frequently associated with central lung tumors. We investigated the variation of atelectasis volumes during radiation therapy and analyzed the effect of AT volume changes on the reproducibility of the ...
