How Morphology Shapes Survival in Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung.

Background And Objectives: Squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC) represents a significant proportion of human malignancies affecting various anatomical sites, including the lung. Understanding the prognostic factors is crucial for establishing effective risk stratification in these patients, as multiple critical aspects significantly impact overall survival.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 99 patients with operable lung SQCC treated at a tertiary center.

Navigating the Maze: Exploring Non-Oncological Complexities in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

Pulmonary oncological pathologies are an important public health problem and the association with other pulmonary lesions may pose difficulties in diagnosis and staging or require different treatment options. To address this complexity, we conducted a retrospective observational study at the Marius Nasta Institute of Pneumophthisiology, Bucharest, Romania. Our study focused on patients admitted in 2019 with non-small-cell lung carcinoma and associated pulmonary lesions identified through surgical resection specimens.

The Nine-Year Survival of Patients Operated for Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma in a Tertiary Centre: The Impact of the Tumour Stage and Other Patient-Related Parameters.

The mainstay treatment of non-small-cell lung carcinoma is still surgery, but its impact on survival beyond nine years has never been reported/analysed in Romania. Therefore, we studied the clinical characteristics and the short- and long-term survival of a population of 1369 patients diagnosed and treated in a single institution, with the variables included in the database being collected retrospectively. In this paper, we aimed to study a number of factors that might influence prognosis and survival in non-small bronchopulmonary carcinoma.

Imagistic Findings Using Artificial Intelligence in Vaccinated versus Unvaccinated SARS-CoV-2-Positive Patients Receiving In-Care Treatment at a Tertiary Lung Hospital.

Background: In December 2019 the World Health Organization announced that the widespread severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection had become a global pandemic. The most affected organ by the novel virus is the lung, and imaging exploration of the thorax using computer tomography (CT) scanning and X-ray has had an important impact.

Materials And Methods: We assessed the prevalence of lung lesions in vaccinated versus unvaccinated SARS-CoV-2 patients using an artificial intelligence (AI) platform provided by Medicai.

Spontaneous Pulmonary Hematoma: Case Report of a Giant Post-COVID-19 Hematoma and Literature Review.

Pulmonary hematomas are a rare pathology. Although they are usually reported post-traumatically, there are also spontaneous forms in pulmonary pathologies or during drug therapy. In these spontaneous entities, primitive forms are rarely described, although the contributory local pulmonary pathological terrain or a specific associated medication has not yet been identified.

Pulmonary Crohn's Disease or Crohn's Disease with Lung Sarcoidosis? A Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: Crohn's disease and ulcerative hemorrhagic colitis are forms of granulomatous inflammatory intestinal disease, which usually affects the gastrointestinal tract. There are also reported rare localizations at the skin, kidney, joints, liver and eye level. Pulmonary involvement is relatively rare, and it is most commonly reported in suppuration with bronchiectasis.

Study of antibodies against viruses, chlamydiae, rickettsiae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae in children with respiratory diseases.

Seroconversion to different viral, chlamydial, rickettsial and mycoplasma antigens was followed up in 134 children aged 0-6 years, hospitalized with different respiratory diseases. Parainfluenza viruses type 1, 2 and 3 and adenoviruses appeared to be involved in the etiology of most of the cases; respiratory syncytial virus was often found to play a role in pneumonia/bronchopneumonia and in "influenza-like illness", while chlamydiae and M. pneumoniae could be incriminated in cases of "influenza-like illness", as well as in the other categories of respiratory disease.
