Efficacy of Portable Ultrasonography for Early Detection of Pneumothorax Following Lung Biopsy [PDF]

Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases
Background Pneumothorax is a notable complication of lung biopsy, and its early detection is crucial. This study aimed to compare the sensitivities of handheld portable lung ultrasonography and chest radiography in identifying early pneumothorax post ...

Evaluating the impact of a newly established hospitalist medicine procedure service on length of stay and procedural outcomes: A retrospective propensity‐matched analysis

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Reliance on interventional radiology (IR) has been associated with delays in procedure completion and prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS). Hospitalist medicine procedure services (HMPS) have been proposed as a strategy to mitigate these inefficiencies, though outcomes of newly established programs composed of physicians with ...

Bronchogenic Carcinoma Presenting as Spontaneous Pneumothorax Case Report with Review of Literature [PDF]

, 1992
Primary lung cancer with pneumothorax as a primary symptom is very rare. The case studied herein was make, sixty years old. The patient had a complaint of chest pain and dyspnea and was diagnosed as having pneumothorax on the radiograph. At the same time,

Quality of hospital medicine care in Veterans Affairs hospitals versus non‐Veterans Affairs hospitals: A systematic review of comparative studies

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The Veterans Health Administration (VA) cares for more than one million hospitalized Veterans each year. There is limited knowledge on how hospital medicine care in VA facilities compares with non‐VA hospitals in terms of the Institute of Medicine domains of healthcare access, patient experience, quality, clinical outcomes, and cost.

Chest X‐Ray Imaging Algorithms for Optimising the Visualisation of Medical Lines and Tubes: A Study With Student Radiographers

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Imaging post‐processing algorithms are helpful in improving the visibility of chest lines and tubes on standard chest X‐rays. Examples include the advanced edge enhancement and grey‐scale inversion, and this study evaluates the usefulness of these algorithms for enhancing visual image quality and reader confidence among student radiographers.

Radiation Dose Optimisation Through Artificial Intelligence (AI)‐based Auto‐Thorax Collimation

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study evaluated AI‐based Auto‐Thorax Collimation (ATC) for radiation dose optimisation in posteroanterior chest radiography compared with manual collimation. ATC demonstrated tighter lateral collimation and reduced inter‐operator variability while maintaining comparable repeat rates.

Lung ultrasound: a valid help in the differential diagnosis between pneumothorax and pulmonary blebs

Emergency Care Journal, 2013
Spontaneous pneumothorax is a relatively common disease but its radiological diagnosis can be difficult because of the insufficient sensitivity of chest X-rays. This is even more so when bullous emphysema and acute pneumothorax co-exist.

Consider Conservative Approach Rather Than Intervening in Moderate to Large Spontaneous Pneumothorax

, 2018
To the Editor: We noted the article on outcomes of needle aspiration versus chest tube placement for primary spontaneous pneumothorax by Tupchong. We agree with Tupchong that the evidence in regard to the optimal management of primary spontaneous ...

Spontaneous Pneumothorax: New Horizons

, 2021
Spontaneous pneumothorax can be divided into two categories: primary and secondary. The management of each one depends on resource availability, physician preference, and procedural capability, and is broadly based on guidelines that are over a decade ...
