Recurrence Rates and Patterns after Radical Resection of Lung Carcinoids.

Atypical lung carcinoid (AC) is widely accepted to recur more often after radical resection than typical lung carcinoid (TC). However, their recurrence rates have never been compared in a multi-state competing risks model. We retrospectively reviewed files from patients with AC and TC who had been radically resected at our European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society Center of Excellence between 2009 and 2020.

Are parents of asthmatic children different from other parents? Some follow-up results from the Norwegian PRAD Project.

Follow-up results from the Norwegian PRAD study (Psychosocial Risk for Allergic Development) show that parents of children who later developed symptoms of asthma were different from a control group of parents with normal, nonsymptomatic children several years preceding the disorder. There were significant within-pair differences in self-reported marital adjustment (DAS-Dyadic Adjustment Scale) for the control group but not for the asthma group. There were no significant between-pair DAS scores for the two groups of parents.
