Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to enhance the detection of micrometastases in lymph nodes (LNs) during surgery for lung tumors, addressing limitations of traditional histopathological methods.
- - A total of 885 LNs were analyzed using the One-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) method, which was compared to standard histopathological techniques, yielding differing results in some cases.
- - The OSNA method identified more positive cases than H&E staining, leading to a higher pTNM stage classification in 21.9% of patients, indicating potential implications for ongoing clinical research.
Solitary Fibrous Tumor - Less Common Neoplasms of the Pleural Cavity.

Purpose: solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) represent a heterogeneous group of primary pleural neoplasms with a low incidence rate and of which the biological origin, which consists of mesenchymal cells, is uncertain.
Methods: The authors present herewith a retrospective analysis of 22 patients with SFTs who were diagnosed and surgically treated between the years 2000-2015. The preoperative tumors were successfully verified morphologically by transthoracic core needle biopsy under CT control in 27.
Introduction: The objective of this study was to assess the impact of weather phenomena on the occurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) in the Plzeň region (Czech Republic).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 450 cases of SP in 394 patients between 1991 and 2013. We observed changes in average daily values of atmospheric pressure, air temperature and daily maximum wind gust for each day of that period and their effect on the development of SP.
Unlabelled: The objective of the present study was to retrospectively analyze a cohort of patients who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer pulmonary metastases during a 12-year period.
Patients And Methods: The sample included 75 patients who were monitored in terms of overall survival (OS) and disease-free interval (DFI) in relation to patient's age, preoperative values of biomarkers, type of surgery, number and size of metastases, occurrence of complications and length of hospitalisation.
Results: A total of 95 surgical interventions were performed and 133 metastases were removed.
Purpose: To investigate the pattern of changes of gut mucosal, glomerular, and pulmonary permeability in response to major resectional intestinal surgery, and to evaluate whether these changes are related to oxidative stress.
Methods: Eight patients undergoing elective intestinal surgery. Lactulose/mannitol ratio (LMR), urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (MACR), and extravascular lung water and its ratio to intrathoracic blood volume (EVLW/ITBV) were measured preoperatively and at different time points postsurgery.
