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 ...
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...

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...
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...

From the radiotherapy perspective, nausea and emesis may also occur in patients with left lower lobe disease who receive appreciable gastric irradiation doses, or with right lower lobe disease who receive appreciable hepatic irradiation doses as a result of anatomic proximity. Premedication with ...
10 s and patients often cannot hold their breaths throughout, lesion movement with respiration may lead to a missed target. Secondly, lung lesions in the upper lobe are more likely to be malignant than those in other lobes [19]. Upper lobe location is a cancer predictor in lung nodules ...
An earlier study comparing the microbial communities sampled by multiple respiratory tract sites of healthy individuals, demonstrated that the bacterial population of the left lower lobar bronchus retrieved by EB was generally larger than the populations of the right middle lobe segmental bronchi, which...
