Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) programmes make it possible to start or complete intravenous antimicrobial therapy for practically any type of infection at home, provided that patient selection is appropriate for the type of OPAT programme available. Although the clinical management of infections in the home setting is comparable in many respects to that offered in conventional hospitalization (selection of antibiotics, duration of treatment, etc.), there are many aspects that are specific to this care modality.

Aim: We analysed the effectiveness and safety of outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in patients admitted to home hospitalisation units (HHU).

Methods: Retrospective multicentre study of patients with AECOPD included in the Spanish OPAT Registry during 2 years period.

Results: Twenty-seven hospitals included 562 episodes in 361 patients diagnosed COPD GOLD III-IV.

Background: Necrosis of the bronchial stump is a very important trigger for bronchopleural fistula. The administration of local autologous platelet-poor plasma (PPP) could protect the bronchial stump.

Materials And Methods: Left pneumonectomy was performed in 25 Sprague-Dawley rats.

Background: Microsurgical lung transplantation in rats has allowed us to obtain new knowledge about lung transplantation. However, some aspects in human transplantation technique still have not been included in this model, which could interfere with the clinical interpretation and extrapolation of results.

Methods: Twenty left lung transplantations were performed with a cuff technique and technical modifications, such as brain death induction, the control of ischemia time and retrograde perfusion in the donor and the controlled sequential reperfusion of the implanted lung in the recipient.

Compensatory hyperhidrosis is an adverse effect of thoracic sympathectomy that can be debilitating, which is why an efficient treatment is demanded. Botulinum toxin is an emerging treatment, not well known yet. We report two cases of compensatory hyperhidrosis following thoracic sympathectomy which were both treated with low doses of botulinum toxin A.

Frontal hyperhidrosis appears to be a special and rare form of focal hyperhidrosis. These patients may suffer greatly from the condition so an efficient treatment is highly demanded. Surgical treatment may solve this problem permanently, but the possibility of serious complications and low satisfactory results makes it less advisable than in other types of hyperhidrosis where surgery has shown great benefits.

Objective: We sought to compare the long-term effects of conventional and simplified thoracic sympathectomy on cardiopulmonary function.

Methods: We performed a prospective and randomized study of 32 patients with diagnoses of primary hyperhidrosis who were candidates for either conventional or simplified thoracic sympathectomy. Patients were randomized according to the type of procedure: conventional thoracic sympathectomy (18 patients) and simplified thoracic sympathectomy (14 patients).

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term and midterm effects of thoracic sympathectomy on pulmonary function and to assess the influence of the sympathetic nervous system on bronchomotor tone.

Methods: Thirty-seven consecutive patients were diagnosed with primary hyperhidrosis requiring thoracic sympathectomy and were included in this study. Spirometry and methacholine challenge testing were performed before and 3 months after surgery.
