Epidemiological and Prognostic Differences in Malignant Mesothelioma Between Eastern China and SEER Database

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
For long years, patients and clinicians in Eastern China used Western data as information foundation for management and treatment of malignant mesothelioma, due to its rarity and lack of deep investigation. This study updated the epidemiological data of malignant mesothelioma in Eastern China, and revealed better survival outcomes compared to Western ...

Minithoracoscopy for Pleural Effusions

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 1998
The current management of pleural disease often requires direct visualization and biopsy of the pleural space using thoracoscopy. A diagnostic and therapeutic approach to pleural disease is described that uses a new 2 mm rigid thorascope.

Genetic Testing Unveils a Novel Thrombospondin‐1 Domain Containing Protein 1 Gene Variant as the Cause of Chronic Edema in a 79‐Year‐Old Woman

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
A 79‐year‐old woman with lifelong peripheral edema and an affected sister was found to harbor a novel homozygous THSD1 splice‐site variant. Reduced THSD1 expression in dermal endothelial cells supported the possibility that this variant contributes to chronic hereditary edema.

Diagnostic utility of sonar guided biopsy in tuberculous effusion

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2013
Background/aim: Tuberculous pleural effusion remains the commonest cause of exudative effusions in areas with a high prevalence of tuberculosis and histological examination of pleural tissue is the gold standard for its diagnosis.

The usefulness of full-thickness biopsy during semi-rigid pleuroscopy for differentiating between malignant pleural mesothelioma and non-specific pleurisy

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Background Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a rare disease with a poor prognosis; distinguishing it from non-specific pleurisy is essential for determining an appropriate treatment strategy. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility and safety of full-

Progressive Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Diagnosis Masking Pneumonic Lung Carcinoma: Anchoring Bias in Critical Care

Cytopathology, EarlyView.
A presumed case of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis with clinical deterioration was ultimately identified at autopsy as pneumonic‐type pleomorphic carcinoma. This case highlights the diagnostic overlap between diffuse lung diseases and the risk of anchoring bias in critically ill patients.

Diagnostic yield of medical thoracoscopy in diagnosis of exudative pleural effusion: One year prospective study

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014
Background: Differential diagnosis of pleural disease is often a lengthy process fraught with pitfalls. Contrary to thoracocentesis and closed pleural biopsy, thoracoscopy permits biopsy with direct visualization.

Bone Marrow Fibrosis as a Predictor of Extramedullary Disease in Multiple Myeloma

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The correlation between bone marrow fibrosis (BMF) and extramedullary disease has yet to be fully elucidated in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Therefore, we aimed to analyze the incidence of BMF in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients and evaluate the relationship between BMF and synchronous soft tissue extramedullary ...
