This single-arm multi-institutional prospective study aimed to evaluate the 10-year outcomes of sublobar resection for small-sized ground-glass opacity-dominant lung cancer. Among 73 patients prospectively enrolled from 13 institutions between November 2006 and April 2012, 53 ground-glass opacity-dominant lung cancer patients underwent sublobar resection with wedge resection as the first choice. The inclusion criteria were maximum tumor size of 8-20 mm; ≥ 80% ground-glass opacity ratio on high-resolution computed tomography; lower F-fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation than the mediastinum; intraoperative pathological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma in situ; and no cancer cells on intraoperative cut margins.

Although the prognostic value of PVS has been reported, its significance in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) admitted to the cardiovascular intensive care unit (CICU) remains unclear. In this study, we examined the relationship between PVS and long-term mortality in patients with ADHF admitted to the CICU.

- To mitigate these issues, surgeons reduce muscle volume at the edge of the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) and utilize a fat flap to stabilize the nerve and prevent scarring.
- In a study of 93 elbows from 90 patients who underwent this procedure, most experienced significant symptom relief and good functional recovery, with no cases of recurrence or complications.
Article Synopsis
- Electrode-electrolyte interfaces are crucial for understanding how electrical charge is stored and transferred in electrochemical systems.
- The study compares various molecular dynamics methods to better align their theoretical predictions with experimental observations regarding charge density and potential.
- Using platinum-aqueous electrolyte interfaces as a case study, the research emphasizes the importance of developing accurate simulation techniques to measure capacitance and translate cell voltage into meaningful electrode potentials.
Background: In western Yokohama, our hospital and primary care clinics manage adults with asthma via a coordinated care system. We investigated the changes in the fractional expired nitric oxide (FeNO), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV), and forced oscillation technique (FOT) parameters over 3 years in a cohort of patients in our collaborative system.
Methods: From 288 adults with well controlled asthma managed under the Yokohama Seibu Hospital coordinated care system between January 2009 and May 2018, we selected 99 subjects to undergo spirometry, FeNO and FOT testing over 3 years and analyzed the changes in these parameters.
