Silicosis Mimicking Lung Malignancy: A Case Series. [PDF]
This case series describes three patients that were suspected to have a primary lung malignancy based on FDG‐PET findings, but were found to have pulmonary silicosis. With this series, we demonstrate how histologic examination can differentiate between silicosis and malignancy and provide suggestions to help clinicians differentiate between these two ...

Three-Dimensional Printed Model of the Mediastinum for Cardiothoracic Surgery Resident Education. [PDF]
Background: Mediastinoscopy remains an important component of lung cancer staging. The development of endobronchial ultrasonography has meant residents perform fewer mediastinoscopies. We hypothesized that a 3-dimensional printed model of the mediastinum

Optimizing Pre-Operative Clinical Staging in Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): A Retrospective Cohort Study. [PDF]
This graphical abstract illustrates the findings of a retrospective cohort study examining the accuracy of pre‐operative clinical staging (cTN) versus post‐operative pathological staging (pTN) in resectable non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Among 221 patients, only 58% had concordant staging, with 23.9% upstaged and 17.2% downstaged at surgery. Nodal

Selective Use of Pericardial Window and Drainage as Sole Treatment for Hemopericardium from Penetrating Chest Trauma [PDF]
Background Penetrating cardiac injuries (PCIs) are highly lethal, and a sternotomy is considered mandatory for suspected PCI. Recent literature suggests pericardial window (PCW) may be sufficient for superficial cardiac injuries to drain hemopericardium
