High Yield of Chest X-ray in the Follow-Up of Colorectal Cancer.

Purpose: Worldwide, colorectal carcinoma (CRC) has a high incidence and a substantial cancer-related mortality. The recurrence risk is 30-50% and lung metastases are common. Treatment of lung metastases with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) or metastasectomy may increase survival.

A 20-Year-Old Woman With Thoracic Pain and Progressive Dyspnea on Exertion.

A 20-year-old woman presented with dry cough, right-sided thoracic pain, and gradually progressive dyspnea on exertion. She had no hemoptysis or fever. There was no relevant medical history.

Feasibility of volatile organic compound in breath analysis in the follow-up of colorectal cancer: A pilot study.

Background: Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) has a worldwide incidence of 1.4 million patients and a large share in cancer-related mortality. After curative treatment, the risk of recurrence is 30-65%.

Effect of theophylline on cortisol plasma concentrations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

To further understand the therapeutic action of theophylline, we investigated, in a randomized double-blind crossover study, the effects of a 4-day treatment with two different dosage regimens of theophylline on the circadian rhythm of cortisol plasma concentrations in seven COPD patients. Both theophylline regimens resulted in plasma concentrations in the therapeutic range (more than 7.5 mg/l).

Chronopharmacodynamics and kinetics after symmetric and asymmetric multiple theophylline doses in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

In a randomized double-blind crossover study, the effects of 4 days of symmetric or asymmetric dosing with sustained-release theophylline (Sabidal-SR) were compared with placebo in ten patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in a stable state. The doses were 450 mg b.i.
