Should atelectasis be considered a pulmonary complication and indicator of poor prognosis in cystic fibrosis?

Journal of International Medical Research
Objective This study examined whether bronchoscopy leads to clinicoradiological improvement in cystic fibrosis (CF) and the predictive factors. The study also investigated whether pulmonary atelectasis is a poor prognostic factor in CF.

Rethinking Perioperative Corticosteroids in Esophageal Cancer Surgery: Evidence From an Integrative Meta‐Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Esophagectomy remains a highly invasive procedure associated with substantial postoperative morbidity. Pulmonary complications, anastomotic leakage, and in‐hospital mortality are of particular concern. Perioperative corticosteroids are often administered to attenuate excessive inflammatory responses; however, the clinical impact in ...

Pulmonary abnormalities after cardiac surgery are better explained by atelectasis than by increased permeability oedema

, 2005
BACKGROUND: Cardiac surgery can be complicated by pulmonary abnormalities, but it is unclear how various manifestations interrelate. METHODS: A prospective study in the intensive care unit was performed on 26 mechanically ventilated patients without ...

Risks and Benefits of Feeding Enterostomy Creation During Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy: A Propensity‐Weighted Analysis Using the Japanese National Clinical Database

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Feeding enterostomy during MIE was evaluated in 19 054 patients from the Japanese NCD using propensity weighting. Enterostomy was associated with higher reoperation and respiratory complications, but lower delayed gastric emptying and deep vein thrombosis, with no significant difference in overall bowel obstruction.

Nursing Process in the care context of Atelectasis by Pulmonary Emphysema: case report/Processo de Enfermagem no contexto assistencial da Atelectasia por Enfisema Pulmonar: relato de caso

Diversitas Journal, 2020
A pulmonary atelectasis consists of pulmonary collapse, accompanied by hypoventilation, which generally affects one of the pulmonary lobes and compromises perfusion, affecting metabolic changes in the client's life.

Relationship Between Hospital Volume and Outcomes of Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer: Analysis of the National Clinical Database in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
According to multivariable analysis conducted using a hierarchical logistic regression model, using VHH as the reference group, the odds ratios for mortality by hospital volume category were as follows: VLH, 2.70 (p < 0.0001); LH, 1.72 (p = 0.052); MH, 1.70 (p = 0.034); and HH, 1.43 (p = 0.173).

Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis on the Efficacy and Safety of Salvage Esophagectomy for T4 Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This meta‐analysis of 208 cases shows that salvage esophagectomy for cT4 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma achieves a 72% R0 resection rate, offering a curative pathway for selected patients. However, it remains a high‐risk procedure with an 18% anastomotic leak rate and 30% major complications (Clavien–Dindo ≥ III).

Effects of Lung Expansion Therapy on Lung Function in Patients with Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2016
Common complications in PMV include changes in the airway clearance mechanism, pulmonary function, and respiratory muscle strength, as well as chest radiological changes such as atelectasis.

SDPR–STK38 axis controls the proliferation–differentiation balance in alveolar type II cells

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The present study identifies SDPR as a pivotal regulator orchestrating the balance between proliferation and differentiation in alveolar type II (AT2) cells. In SDPR+/+ cells, SDPR binds to and inhibits STK38 activity, thereby sustaining GSK‐3β signaling functionality to promote cyclin D1 degradation and maintain cell cycle homeostasis.
