This qualitative study examined chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) knowledge and attitudes among patients at risk for or with COPD. Participants perceived lung cancer as the primary lung disease of concern to their health and were largely unaware of COPD. Overall, the primary care patients expressed a desire to obtain additional information regarding their lung condition and, among smokers,...
. The mechanism by which various agents produce a pleurodesis is unknown. The purpose of this project was to determine whether the pleurodesis that results from the intrapleural administration of talc or doxycycline depends on tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα). In a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study, 34 New Zealand white rabbits were given 400 mg talc or 10 mg/kg doxycycline intrapleurally...
