Article Synopsis
- Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer (LC), but the surgical risks for patients with both conditions remained uncertain, prompting a study analyzing outcomes for LC patients with and without ILD.
- The study included data from 4,073 patients who underwent LC surgery between January 2006 and June 2023, with 30 identified as having ILD. Key findings showed no significant difference in overall survival between LC-ILD and LC-non-ILD groups, although the LC-ILD group faced specific complications like prolonged air leaks and pneumonia.
- Overall, the research illustrates that while patients with LC-ILD experience certain challenges, surgical outcomes, including post-operative complications, are not significantly worse
Background And Objectives: Malignant pleural effusions (MPE) are a frequent and major turning point in neoplastic disease usually leading to poor life expectancy. Improve quality of life and relieve the dyspnea are the main objectives in this palliative care setting. This can be achieved by the placement of an indwelling catheter (IPC) or talc pleurodesis ideally performed by thoracoscopy route (talc poudrage).

However, traditional mentorship-based training presents limitations in learning consistency, subjective evaluation, and patient safety concerns. Simulation-based training has gained attention for its potential to enhance skill acquisition and objective assessment.

This adherence can be considered as a marker of successful transition.
Objectives: The main objective of the quantitative phase of the TRANSHEMO project was to compare the adherence to healthcare between adolescents and young adults (YAs) with severe haemophilia.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the epidemiology of patients who had lung surgery for suspected localized primary lung cancers without prior tissue confirmation between 2010 and 2020.
- Out of 1,392 patients, 15.3% were diagnosed with benign conditions, and 2.1% underwent unnecessary large resections that didn't benefit their treatment.
- Factors linked to malignancy included older age, smoking history, cardiovascular disease, previous cancer history, and clinical N involvement, highlighting the differences in preoperative profiles between benign and malignant cases.
Introduction: Health of people with severe haemophilia (PwSH) improves thanks to the advancements in haemophilia care, giving them more opportunities in occupational integration. However, there is little literature on the occupational integration of PwSH.
Objectives: The main objective of our study was to assess the occupational integration of PwSH and to compare it with that of the general population.
Cholera remains a significant public health problem worldwide. In settings of declining incidence, serosurveillance may be used to augment clinical surveillance. We utilized dried blood spot sampling and cholera-specific antibody testing to examine the serologic profiles of vaccinated and unvaccinated children in southern Vietnam, where cholera was recently eliminated.
