Long term outcome after 48 Gy stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy for peripheral stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

Background: To evaluate the outcome of patients treated with stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) with curative intent for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with regard to local, regional and distant tumor control, disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicity.

Methods: Data of 300 patients treated with SABR for NSCLC cancer for the period of November 2007 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Of which, 189 patients had single primary lung lesion and were included in the study.

[Clinical experience with subcutaneous immunoglobulin administration in the treatment of primary immunodeficiencies].

We report the clinical evolution of three adult patients with recurrent respiratory tract infections. Those patients had a low plasma level of IgG3 and/or a deficiency in anti polysaccharide antibodies. They all were previously treated with intravenous immunoglobulin, but their clinical status as well as their health related quality of life improved after they had switched to subcutaneous immunoglobulin administrations.

[Pulmonary mycobacteriosis due to Mycobacterium xenopi" in-vitro sensitivity to classical antitubercular agents and clinical development].

Out of 11 patients suffering from Mycobacterium xenopi lung disease, 9 were treated with an empiric antituberculous triple chemotherapy until specific identification and antibiogram were available. Despite the important "in vitro" resistance to drugs, most of the patients improved; in the other patients, the impairment was always due to the underlying pathology. We conclude that the "in vivo" response of M.

[Endoscopic treatment of post-intubation tracheal stenosis. Apropos of 58 cases].

Over a period of 6 years, 58 patients aged between 55 +/- 16 years have been treated for post-intubation tracheal stenosis (STPI). These patients were characterised by their frequency of an underlying respiratory or cardiac failure, a duration of intubation which was sometimes short and a delay between the extubation and the detection of stenosis which was les than one month in about one half of the cases. Thirty of the 58 patients presented with respiratory distress on admission.

Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare associated with tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica.

A previously healthy woman aged 53 years presented with cough, night sweats and weakness. Chest roentgenogram revealed a reticulonodular infiltrate of the right upper lung. Multiple sputum cultures were positive for Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare, with no immunodeficiency disease.
