Objectives: This study is aimed to analyze the survival differences among patients with lung basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC), keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (KSCC), and nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (NKSCC), and explore the prognostic factors of patients with lung BSCC.
Materials And Methods: We searched the information of 4743 patients with lung SCC between 2005 and 2014 from the SEER database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to adjust confounding factors. The overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and cumulative incidence of cancer-specific mortality (CSM) were estimated with a comparative analysis. A competing risks regression model was conducted to identify the prognostic factors of lung BSCC.
Results: After PSM, patients with lung BSCC had a higher CSS rate than those with lung KSCC or NKSCC (5-year CSS rate: 50.4 % vs. 37.7 % vs. 38.5 %, p = 0.033 and p = 0.033). The cumulative incidence of CSM was lower for patients with lung BSCC than those with lung KSCC or NKSCC (5-year CSM rate: 46.4 % vs. 56.9 % vs. 56.4 %, p = 0.046 and p = 0.042), which were similar to the results before PSM. As for patients with lung KSCC and NKSCC, there was no survival differences between them (5-year CSS rate: 37.7 % vs. 38.5 %, p = 0.997). The competing risks regression analysis showed that T stage, N stage, M stage and surgery were independent prognostic factors for patients with lung BSCC (all p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Patients with lung BSCC had a better survival than those with lung KSCC or NKSCC, while no survival differences were found between lung KSCC and NKSCC. T stage, N stage, M stage and surgery were independent prognostic factors for patients with lung BSCC.

Background: While recent randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that sublobar resection is non-inferior to lobectomy, the comparative efficacy of these procedures remains uncertain for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC; ≤ 3 cm) exhibiting invasive features postoperatively, such as visceral pleural invasion (VPI) or spread through air spaces (STAS).
Materials And Methods: To identify eligible studies, a comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was conducted through 25 July 2024. Studies were screened according to predefined criteria in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.

Background: The localization of pulmonary nodules is crucial for surgical intervention. However, a safe, simple, and efficient method remains elusive. This study aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a newly developed preoperative localization method for pulmonary nodules called Rapid Localization of Pulmonary Nodules On-Site (RLPN-OS).

Background: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of death from infectious diseases in the world, with approximately 25% of the global population having latent tuberculosis infection. Secondhand smoke exposure has been recognised as a significant risk factor in the development of active Tuberculosis in individuals with latent tuberculosis infection.
Study Design And Methods: This study used the Systematic Literature Review method based on PRISMA guidelines.

Background: Return-to-work (RTW) following lung transplant has been associated with increased quality of life, but little is known regarding the rates of and barriers to this in the Australian population.
Aims: We aimed to describe, characterise and determine predictors of return to work and social participation in Australian lung transplant recipients. We also sought to explore the relationship between return to work and quality of life.

Background: Non-thyroidal illness syndrome is commonly observed in critically ill patients, characterized by the inactivation of systemic thyroid hormones (TH), which aggravates metabolic dysfunction. Recent evidence indicates that enhanced TH inactivation is mediated by the reactivation of type 3 deiodinase (Dio3) at the tissue level, culminating in a perturbed local metabolic equilibrium. This study assessed whether targeted inhibition of Dio3 can maintain tissue metabolic homeostasis under septic conditions and explored the mechanism behind Dio3 reactivation.
