Article Synopsis
- Self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS), specifically the new 3rd generation Bonastent, are gaining popularity for treating both malignant and nonmalignant airway stenosis, but research on their effectiveness and safety is still limited.
- A study conducted at two university hospitals reviewed data from 96 patients who received Bonastent placements from January 2019 to November 2023 to assess immediate and long-term outcomes.
- Results showed that 76% of patients experienced symptom improvement within a week, but early complications included airway bleeding and stent migration, while late complications involved mucus plugging and granulation tissue issues.
Purpose: We performed a retrospective analysis of a sarcoidosis cohort who had sACE obtained at their initial clinic visit, but the treating physician was blinded to the results. We examined the relationship between sACE and the treating physician's decision to escalate sarcoidosis treatment.
Methods: Treatment was considered escalated if the prednisone dose was increased or if the prednisone dose was not changed but an additional anti-sarcoidosis drug was added or the dose was increased.
Background: Diagnostic terminology and grading of primary appendiceal mucinous neoplasms lacks uniformity. We sought to identify discordance in pathologic reporting by reviewing pathology slides for cases referred to our institution.
Methods: Using guidelines from Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI) and American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th edition (AJCC8), we compared diagnostic terminology/grading of primary appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (n = 115) between pathology reports from referring institutions and review of slides by pathologists at our high-volume institution.
