Bronchoscopic thermal vapour ablation therapy in the management of heterogeneous emphysema.

The need for a less invasive procedure than surgical lung volume reduction that can produce consistent improvements with reduced morbidity remains a medical goal in patients with emphysema. We sought to determine the effect of bronchoscopic thermal vapour ablation (BTVA) on lung volumes and outcomes in patients with emphysema. 44 patients with upper lobe-predominant emphysema were treated unilaterally with BTVA.

Rationale And Objectives: Evaluation of chest computed tomography (CT) is usually qualitative or semiquantitative, resulting in subjective descriptions often by different observers over time and imprecise determinations of disease severity within distorted lobes. There is a need for standardized imaging biomarkers to quantify regional disease, maximize diagnostic yield, and facilitate multicenter comparisons. We applied lobe-based voxelwise image analysis to derive regional air (Vair) and tissue (Vtissue) volumes and fractional tissue volume (FTV = tissue/[tissue+air] volume) as internally standardized parameter for assessing interstitial lung disease (ILD).

We present a rare case of perineal-onset Fournier's gangrene in a patient undergoing hemodialysis. A 51-year-old Japanese man manifested an acute-onset perineal pain with perirectal abscess; subsequently, the pain extended to the abdomen, chest, and loin despite quick treatment. His consciousness deteriorated to delirium and he died of septic shock on the third day of admission.
