Radiomics and Clinical Data for the Diagnosis of Incidental Pulmonary Nodules and Lung Cancer Screening: Radiolung Integrative Predictive Model.

Introduction: Early diagnosis of lung cancer (LC) is crucial to improve survival rates. Radiomics models hold promise for enhancing LC diagnosis. This study assesses the impact of integrating a clinical and a radiomic model based on deep learning to predict the malignancy of pulmonary nodules (PN).

Intervention to reduce the incidence of non-ventilator-associated hospital-acquired pneumonia: A pilot study.

Background: Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention to reduce the incidence of non-ventilator-associated hospital-acquired pneumonia (NV-HAP) and determine compliance with preventive measures.

Methods: This was a quasi-experimental before-after study involving patients in the 53-bed Internal Medicine ward in a university hospital in Spain. The preventive measures included hand hygiene, dysphagia detection, head-of-bed elevation, withdrawal of sedatives in the event of confusion, oral care, and sterile or bottled water use.

Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms: endovascular management after adequate imaging diagnosis.

Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms (PAPs) are rare serious vascular abnormalities mostly due to infections and trauma, although other conditions such as vasculitis, neoplasms, or inflammatory lung diseases can also predispose to this entity. Endovascular techniques such as embolization or covered stent placement have mostly substituted surgical approaches, for their lower invasiveness and greater security, mainly in patients with life-threatening hemoptysis. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the imaging findings of pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms and their endovascular management including tips to help interventional radiologists.

New Drugs, Old Toxicities: Pneumonitis Related to Palbociclib - A Case Report.

Background: Palbociclib is a specific inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 that is approved for the treatment of advanced or metastatic breast cancer patients. Despite a good toxicity profile in pivotal trials, where asymptomatic neutropenia was the main adverse effect, its wider use in clinical practice may show less prevalent but serious toxicities.

Case Presentation: Here, we describe a case of pneumonitis due to palbocicblib.
