Lung V5 and Planning Target Volume/Lung Volume Ratio as Independent Risk Factors for ≥Grade 2 Radiation Pneumonitis after Moderately Hypofractionated Radiotherapy: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
Lung V5 and the planning target volume/lung volume ratio were identified as independent dosimetric risk factors for clinically significant radiation pneumonitis following moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy for lung cancer. Maintaining V5 < 35% may help mitigate this risk in clinical practice.

Sugammadex vs. neostigmine and the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications after upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures: a propensity score matched analysis of 15,730 patients

open access: yesAnaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Postoperative pulmonary complications after upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures under general anaesthesia are clinically important and may be exacerbated by residual neuromuscular block. We evaluated whether antagonism of neuromuscular block with sugammadex rather than neostigmine is associated with improved respiratory ...

Effects of salbutamol and phlorizin on acute pulmonary inflammation and disease severity in experimental sepsis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Respiratory infection can be exacerbated by the high glucose concentration in the airway surface liquid (ASL). We investigated the effects of salbutamol and phlorizin on the pulmonary function, oxidative stress levels and SGLT1 activity in lung ...

Peri‐operative glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist use and outcomes: a national prospective multicentre cohort study

open access: yesAnaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Peri‐operative glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1 RA) use is associated with delayed gastric emptying. It is unclear what proportion of patients having anaesthetic care are receiving GLP‐1 RAs; what strategies are used in their peri‐operative management; and whether the incidence of pulmonary aspiration and/or ...

Risk Factors for Complications Following Paediatric Neuromuscular and Syndromic Scoliosis Correction Surgery: A Systematic Review

open access: yesANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Paediatric neuromuscular and syndromic scoliosis patients have multiple medical comorbidities that increase the risk of postoperative complications. There is a lack of consistent literature assessing the specific risk factors for complications following scoliosis correction surgery in this high‐risk cohort.

Resolution of atelectasis during radiochemotherapy of lung cancer with serious implications for further treatment. A case report

open access: yesClinical and Translational Radiation Oncology, 2018
Local failure is a major cause for low overall survival rates in advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Among others, radioresistant tumor clones as well as geographical miss can explain these high local failure rates.

Surgical management of a penetrating cardiac foreign body causing tamponade in a dog: case report

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Background Penetrating cardiac foreign bodies are rare in dogs but can result in life‐threatening complications, including pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. Prompt diagnosis, emergency stabilization, and definitive surgical management are essential to achieve a favorable outcome.

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthracosis, usually regarded as a benign and uncommon bronchoscopic finding, was identified in 108 (9.9%) of 1154 bronchoscopy procedures at two Australian hospitals, with almost a third showing bronchial narrowing consistent with anthracofibrosis.
