Pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum in children.

Pneumothorax is a condition that describes the presence of air between the visceral and parietal pleura sheets and the consequent collapse of the lungs. The collapse of the lungs can be partial or total and can present in different clinical stages, such as a high-pressure pneumothorax that can cause a mediastinal shift. Pneumomediastinum is the presence of free air between the mediastinal tissues due to various causes.

Impact of preoperative scores on postoperative process in bronchiectasis surgery.

Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between bronchiectasis criteria, scores, and indices used today and surgical interventions due to bronchiectasis.

Methods: Between January 2009 and December 2018, a total of 106 patients (53 males, 53 females; mean age: 39.1±12.

Prognostic significance of mediastinal standardized uptake value on positron emission tomography/computed tomography in patients with left upper lobe non-small cell lung cancer: Is invasive staging of aortopulmonary window lymph nodes necessary?

Background: This study aims to investigate whether the invasive staging of aortopulmonary window lymph nodes could be omitted in the presence of a suspected isolated metastasis in the aortopulmonary window lymph node on positron emission tomography/computed tomography.

Methods: Between January 2010 and January 2016, a total of 67 patients (54 males, 13 females; mean age: 59.9±8.

Survival Effect of Surgery in Patients with Stage IIIB/N2 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Comparative Study with Definitive Chemoradiotherapy.

Objective: We compared the survival outcomes of surgery within multimodality treatment regimens with the outcomes of definitive chemoradiation treatments in patients diagnosed with clinical (c) IIIB/N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We investigated whether surgery within multimodality treatment provides a survival advantage at this stage.

Material And Methods: Data from 79 patients with cIIIB/N2 between 2009 and 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.

Management of recurrent hemoptysis: a single-center experience.

Background: A successful planning methodology for patients with hemoptysis promises overall improvement in patient care. Conducted in a reference center for chest diseases, the present study aims to analyze characteristics and predictors of interventional methods in patients with recurrent hemoptysis.

Methods: The present study is a single-center, retrospective observational study.
