OBJECTIVE
To characterize pneumothorax in horses and to describe clinical signs, diagnostic testing, and clinical outcome of horses with pneumothorax.
METHODS
Retrospective study.
METHODS
40 horses.
METHODS
Medical records of horses with pneumothorax were reviewed to obtain information on
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is an uncommon pulmonary disorder which is a clinicopathologic syndrome. The typical symptoms include cough, fever and dyspnea. Corticosteroid therapy is effective. Death from progressive disease is infrequent. We report a case of BOOP in a
The thirty patients with spontaneous pneumothorax were selected and treated with intercostal minithoracotomy (MT). To study the extent of surgical damage and recurrence rate and total hospital cost in this approach, we compared MT to axillary thoracotomy (AT) with respect to nine variables: (1)
Thoracoscopic talcage (TT) is a safe and effective prophylactic treatment for patients suffering from recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). Empirically, TT is considered equally effective in the treatment of persistent secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP), although this has not yet
OBJECTIVE
To prospectively study all patients with COPD and spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) who underwent thoracoscopic talc poudrage (TP) under local anesthesia to determine its efficacy and safety in recurrence prevention.
METHODS
Data on clinical measurements, complications, duration of chest tube
Pneumothorax associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is intractable and often fatal because the patients are usually under a long-term steroid therapy, and are associated with severely impaired lung function. Further, pneumothorax itself recurs frequently, and acute exacerbation of IPF
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect, complications and safety of transbronchoscopic balloon detection (TBD) and selective bronchus occlusion (SBO) for intractable pneumothorax.
METHODS
Forty cases of pneumothorax from 5 teaching hospitals in Fujian province were included for this study. TBD was
A 19-year-old sportsman experienced a right-sided pneumothorax and hemoptysis after having had an intermittent cough and blood-tinged sputum for 2 months. A chest CT scan revealed small cavitary lesions in both lungs. The relapsing pneumothorax was treated with a chest tube twice, as well as
From 1982 to 1990, 27 patients with recurrent pneumothorax or persistent air leak (28 episodes) underwent pleurodesis with intrapleural administration of quinacrine, according to a standardized scheme. A first evaluation was done about 1 month after the intervention. In August 1990, all patients
BACKGROUND
Spontaneous pneumothorax is usually found in people with systemic sclerosis who have extensive pulmonary fibrosis with enlarged sub-pleural blebs. We report a case of spontaneous pneumothorax caused by cryptococcal pneumonia in a patient with systemic sclerosis with minimal sub-pleural
BACKGROUND
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an x linked recessive disorder. Long term prognosis is ominous, with development of respiratory distress and cardiomyopathy in advanced stage of the disease and expected death in the teens-to-mid 20s due to respiratory or cardiac failure.
