[Localization of the bronchial air leakage in pneumothorax by injection of human albumin foam].

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new method to determine the bronchus for air leakage in pneumothorax by injection of human albumin foam. METHODS In 29 cases with pneumothorax, the bronchus responsible for air leakage was localized by injecting foam of human albumin into target

Experience with an albumin-glutaraldehyde tissue adhesive in sealing air leaks after bullectomy.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an albumin-glutaraldehyde tissue adhesive (BioGlue Surgical Adhesive) in preventing air leaks after bullectomy. METHODS Between January 1999 and June 2002, BioGlue was applied over the staple or suture lines of 21 consecutive

The antielastase screen of the lower respiratory tract of alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor-sufficient patients with emphysema or pneumothorax.

Only registered users can translate articles

The present study was aimed at testing whether alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor-sufficient patients with lung emphysema or idiopathic spontaneous pneumothorax have an impaired antielastase protection at the lung alveolar level. We have collected bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF) from 20 PIMM

Complicated pneumothorax: short- and long-term results of endoscopic fibrin pleurodesis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Complicated pneumothorax is defined as a recurrent or persistent air leak in the pleural interspace beyond 5 days despite adequate tube drainage. Up to now, this disorder could only be corrected by open thoracotomy. Endoscopic fibrin pleurodesis is shown to be a method that could obviate, in most

[Examination using multivariate analysis of the risk factors by surgical approach in elderly intractable pneumothorax].

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE In this study, we evaluated the risk factors for postoperative complications in elderly patients with intractable pneumothorax and constructed a risk assessment model. METHODS Between January 2004 and December 2011, 83 elderly patients( age, 75 years or older) underwent an operation at our

[Clinical review of pneumothorax cases complicated with active pulmonary tuberculosis].

Only registered users can translate articles

Pneumothorax is an important and dangerous complication of pulmonary tuberculosis. Forty-six pneumothorax cases complicated with active pulmonary tuberculosis at National Chiba-Higashi Hospital were studied retrospectively. From Jan. 1987 to Dec. 1997, we experienced 3611 patients with pulmonary

Modulation of the blood-brain barrier permeability in neonatal cytotoxic brain edema: laboratory and morphological findings obtained on newborn piglets with experimental pneumothorax.

Only registered users can translate articles

Acute, bilateral pneumothorax (PT) was produced in 14 newborn piglets. The clinical status of the operated and 14 control animals was monitored by measuring the arterial blood gases, acid-base balance and mean arterial blood pressure. Different brain regions were processed for electron microscopy

[Pulmonary expansion edema during the management of a spontaneous pneumothorax. Report of one case].

Only registered users can translate articles

Pulmonary expansion edema is a rare complication of the management of primary spontaneous pneumothorax. We report a 20 year old male admitted with a right primary spontaneous pneumothorax. A chest tube connected to a water seal was placed, achieving lung expansion. Immediately, the patient presented

Protective effect of antihistamines on cerebral oedema induced by experimental pneumothorax in newborn piglets.

Only registered users can translate articles

As a consequence of general hypoxaemia evoked experimentally by bilateral pneumothorax, brain oedema of vasogenic type developed in newborn piglets after 4 h survival. Histamine receptor antagonists, mepyramine (H1-receptor blocker), metiamide, cimetidine and ranitidine (H2-receptor antagonists)

Evaluation of reexpansion pulmonary edema following unilateral pneumothorax in rabbits and the effect of superoxide dismutase.

Only registered users can translate articles

We investigated the lung injury that occurs following reexpansion of a unilateral pneumothorax and determined the effect of superoxide dismutase (SOD) infused immediately prior to reexpansion on this injury. After 7 days of at least 80% right pneumothorax, rabbits received intravenous infusions of

Resolution of persistent pneumothorax by use of blood pleurodesis in a dog after surgical correction of a diaphragmatic hernia.

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS A 15-kg (33-lb) pregnant female mixed-breed dog of unknown age was referred because of a 10-day history of difficulty breathing. RESULTS Physical examination findings were dyspnea, tachypnea, decreased bronchovesicular sounds (bilateral), muffled heart sounds, and abdominal distention with

Tailored NEOadjuvant epirubicin, cyclophosphamide and Nanoparticle Albumin-Bound paclitaxel for breast cancer: The phase II NEONAB trial-Clinical outcomes and molecular determinants of response.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study evaluated the feasibility of achieving high response rates in stage II or III breast cancer by tailoring neoadjuvant therapy using clinical and histopathological features and the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score. Genomic determinants of response and resistance were also

The role of histamine in brain oedema formation.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effects of histamine on the cerebral endothelial cells were studied. To determine if the extent of brain oedema formation could be reduced with histamine receptor antagonists, mepyramine (H1-receptor blocker), metiamide, cimetidine and ranitidine (H2-receptor antagonists) were administered at a

Radioguided Surgery, a Cost-Effective Strategy for Treating Solitary Pulmonary Nodules: 20-Year Experience of a Single Center.

Only registered users can translate articles

Surgical resection with minimally invasive approach is the gold standard for both definitive diagnosis and treatment of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs); however, it can be difficult to pinpoint small, deep, or subsolid nodes without palpating lung parenchyma. The primary endpoint of
