Usefulness of Thoracoscopic Debridement for Chronic Empyema after an Extrapleural Pneumonectomy [PDF]

, 2016
We present the case of a 65-year-old Japanese man diagnosed with chronic empyema (without a bronchopleural fistula) that occurred 7 months after he underwent an extrapleural pneumonectomy for right malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Following thoracic

Nuclear factor-kappa B influences early phase of compensatory lung growth after pneumonectomy in mice

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2017
Background Compensatory lung growth (CLG) is a well-established lung regeneration model. However, the sequential mechanisms, including unknown molecular triggers or regulators, remain unclear.

Pneumonectomy for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: Predictors of Operative Mortality and Survival

Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2020
Surgery is the most effective way to cure non-small cell lung cancer currently. Although sleeve lobectomy, with less reduction of respiratory function and a lower mortality rate, would not compromise oncological results in well-selected patients with ...

Outcomes after pneumonectomy versus limited lung resection in adults with traumatic lung injury. [PDF]

, 2020
Pneumonectomy after traumatic lung injury (TLI) is associated with shock, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, and eventual right ventricular failure. Historically, trauma pneumonectomy (TP) mortality rates ranged between 53 and 100%.

Evidence for adult lung growth in humans [PDF]

, 2012
A 33-year-old woman underwent a right-sided pneumonectomy in 1995 for treatment of a lung adenocarcinoma. As expected, there was an abrupt decrease in her vital capacity, but unexpectedly, it increased during the subsequent 15 years.

Whole exome and targeted deep sequencing identify genome-wide allelic loss and frequent SETDB1 mutations in malignant pleural mesotheliomas. [PDF]

, 2016
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis, is mainly caused by exposure to asbestos or other organic fibers, but the underlying genetic mechanism is not fully understood.

Thyroid lesions of neuroendocrine origin? Thinking of a “polka‐dotted” zebra! Case series from three Italian referral centers and review of the literature

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Thyroid metastases from neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) should be considered in case of suspicious thyroid nodules in patients with a positive medical history of NEN, mainly of thoracic origin, even after many years from the initial diagnosis. The differential diagnosis from primary intrathyroidal NEN is challenging.

Recurrent chest infections in two young non-smoker men [PDF]

, 2016
Pulmonary mucinous cystic carcinomas are rare salivary gland type carcinomas of the lung. They form part of a wide spectrum of mucin secreting glandular mixed type tumours. They comprise 0.1 – 0.2% of all lung tumours. They occur more frequently in young
