Respirology > 24 > 1 > 76 - 82

Background and objective The main purpose of treatment in patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is symptom palliation. Currently, patients undergo repeat thoracenteses prior to receiving a definitive procedure as clinicians are not aware of the risk factors associated with fluid recurrence. The primary objective of this study was to identify risk factors associated with recurrent symptomatic...

John P Corcoran, John M Wrightson, Elizabeth Belcher, Malcolm M DeCamp, more

The Lancet Respiratory Medicine > 2015 > 3 > 7 > 563-577

Pleural space infections are increasing in incidence and continue to have high associated morbidity, mortality, and need for invasive treatments such as thoracic surgery. The mechanisms of progression from a non-infected, pneumonia-related effusion to a confirmed pleural infection have been well described in the scientific literature, but the route by which pathogenic organisms access the pleural...

Spontaneous pneumothorax: time to rethink management?

Oliver J Bintcliffe, Rob J Hallifax, Anthony Edey, David Feller-Kopman, more

The Lancet Respiratory Medicine > 2015 > 3 > 7 > 578-588

There are substantial differences in international guidelines for the management of pneumothorax and much geographical variation in clinical practice. These discrepancies have, in part, been driven by a paucity of high-quality evidence. Advances in diagnostic techniques have increasingly allowed the identification of lung abnormalities in patients previously labelled as having primary spontaneous...

Adjunct strategies to enhance the efficacy of indwelling pleural catheters

Christopher R. Gilbert, David Feller-Kopman

Current Pulmonology Reports > 2015 > 4 > 1 > 28-33

Malignant pleural effusion remains a distressing and unfortunately common occurrence. Pleural palliation should be focused on relieving dyspnea with as few procedures as possible. The introduction of the indwelling tunneled pleural catheter has been shown to fulfill these goals; however, it is not without limitations. The ability to potentially combine the results of a long-term pleurodesis procedure...

MouthLab: A Tricorder Concept Optimized for Rapid Medical Assessment

Gene Y. Fridman, Hai Tang, David Feller-Kopman, Yang Hong

Annals of Biomedical Engineering > 2015 > 43 > 9 > 2175-2184

The goal of rapid medical assessment (RMA) is to estimate the general health of a patient during an emergency room or a doctor’s office visit, or even while the patient is at home. Currently the devices used during RMA are typically “all-in-one” vital signs monitors. They require time, effort and expertise to attach various sensors to the body. A device optimized for RMA should instead require...

A Novel Approach to Endobronchial Closure of a Bronchial Pleural Fistula

Jason Akulian, Vikas Pathak, Mark Lessne, Kelvin Hong, more

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery > 2014 > 98 > 2 > 697-699

Bronchopleural fistula presents an important and challenging management problem after lung parenchymal resection. The mainstay of treatment has been surgical revision of the bronchial stump, however increasingly endobronchial therapies are being employed. We report the novel use of a liquid embolic agent with an Amplatzer vascular plug to seal a chronic bronchopleural fistula. Using rigid bronchoscopy,...

The use of convex probe endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration in a pediatric population: A multicenter study

Christopher R. Gilbert, Alexander Chen, Jason A. Akulian, Hans J. Lee, more

Pediatric Pulmonology > 49 > 8 > 807 - 815

IntroductionThe presence of intrathoracic lymphadenopathy and mediastinal masses in the pediatric population often presents a diagnostic challenge. With limited minimally invasive methodologies to obtain a diagnosis, invasive sampling via mediastinoscopy or thoracotomy is often pursued. Endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure...

Transient Low Doses of DNA-Demethylating Agents Exert Durable Antitumor Effects on Hematological and Epithelial Tumor Cells

Hsing-Chen Tsai, Huili Li, Leander Van Neste, Yi Cai, more

Cancer Cell > 2012 > 21 > 3 > 430-446

Reversal of promoter DNA hypermethylation and associated gene silencing is an attractive cancer therapy approach. The DNA methylation inhibitors decitabine and azacitidine are efficacious for hematological neoplasms at lower, less toxic, doses. Experimentally, high doses induce rapid DNA damage and cytotoxicity, which do not explain the prolonged time to response observed in patients. We show that...
