The phrase “middle lobe and left lower lobe nodules are below the resolution of PET but remain suspicious and require ongoing surveillance as a minimum” provides an example of both reporter uncertainty and technical uncertainty as the reporter is unsure of the significance of lung nodules due to...
For purposes of this policy, predominantly non-upper lobe predominance of emphysema is defined to exclude disease on CT that is judged by the radiologist as affecting primarily the upper lobes of the lung, and to include disease that is judged to be predominantly lower lobe, diffuse, or predomi...
DCD lungs preserved with portable EVLP had a significantly shorter cold ischemic time (161 ± 44 versus 234 ± 60 mins, p = 0.045), lower grade of PGD at 72 hours after LTX (0.4 ± 0.5 versus 2.1 ± 0.7, p = 0.003), similar mechanical ventilation time (55 ± 44 versus 103 ± 97 ...

Notably, the cumulative incidence of SPLC increased over time in breast cancer survivors even though the 10-year incidence level was relatively low, at 0.47%. While this incidence rate is comparable to or higher than the one (0.29%) based on a previous European study,5 it is still lower th...

Immunogenic cell death (ICD) converts dying cancer cells into a therapeutic vaccine and stimulates antitumor immune responses. Here we unravel the results of an unbiased screen identifying high-dose (10 µM) crizotinib as an ICD-inducing tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has exceptional antineoplastic...
In both spiral UTE and CS-VIBE images, a relatively unfavorable detection rate was observed in the right middle lobe (RML, average 64% for spiral UTE and 59% for CS-VIBE, by two readers) and left lower lobe (LLL, average 59% for spiral UTE and 77% for CS-VIBE, by two readers) ...
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a neuroendocrine tumor treated clinically as a single disease with poor outcomes. Distinct SCLC molecular subtypes have been defined based on expression of ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, or YAP1. Here, we use mouse and human models with a time-series single-cell...
Multivariable logistic regression analyses using propensity scoring showed right or left lower lobe fibrosis score to be significantly associated with respiratory-related death (P = 0.0005 and 0.0045, respectively). A right or left lower lobe fibrosis score ≥ 2, indicating the presence of ...
