A case of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in a patient with AIDS was manifested radiographically as a hilar mass and cavitary lesion.
The patient had... | C08 |
1,091 | 8,530 | Malignant melanoma presenting as nasal obstruction.
Mucosal melanomas arising in the nasal cavity are rare tumors comprising less than 1 percent of all melanomas.
Often, the common clinical symptom is nasal obstruction.
Grossly, they may or may not be pigmented and frequently attain large sizes.
Histologic diagnosi... | C08 |
1,092 | 7,881 | Atypical presentations of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in patients receiving inhaled pentamidine prophylaxis.
Inhaled pentamidine is used commonly to prevent Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in patients with advanced human immunodeficiency virus infection.
Case reports indicate that PCP can recur in patients wh... | C08 |
1,093 | 2,510 | Treatment of Wegener's granulomatosis with intermittent high-dose intravenous cyclophosphamide
PURPOSE: Concerns regarding the long-term toxicity of daily cyclophosphamide (CP) therapy for the systemic vasculitides have led us to evaluate alternative approaches to treatment in an attempt to achieve comparable efficac... | C08 |
1,094 | 3,521 | Left ventricular ejection fraction may not be useful as an end point of thrombolytic therapy comparative trials.
In the era of comparative and adjunctive trials in reperfusion therapy, the need to develop alternative end points for mortality reduction is clear.
Left ventricular ejection fraction, which has been commo... | C08 |
1,095 | 2,960 | Resection of the superior vena cava for primary lung cancer: 5 years' survival.
We describe a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the right lung that required a resection of the superior vena cava combined with a tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy.
The superior vena cava was totally replaced with a polytetrafluoroethy... | C08 |
1,096 | 8,044 | Segmental vascular resistance in postobstructive pulmonary vasculopathy.
Chronic unilateral pulmonary arterial ligation has been touted as a model of arteriopathy resulting in a tremendous increase in anastomotic bronchial flow (Qbr) via collaterals.
To investigate its effects on the pulmonary vasculature, we ligated... | C08 |
1,097 | 9,311 | Recessive oncogenes in lung cancer.
The observation that carcinogen exposure is strongly associated with the probability of developing pulmonary neoplasms has suggested for many years that acquired somatic mutations play a key role in the genesis of these environmentally induced cancers.
With the advent of new techni... | C08 |
1,098 | 9,280 | Inspiratory flow dynamics during mechanical ventilation in patients with respiratory failure.
We studied the effect of inspiratory flow rate on respiratory resistance during mechanical ventilation in 15 patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF).
Resistance was measured by both constant flow inflation and occlusio... | C08 |
1,099 | 8,128 | Congenital midline nasal masses: diagnosis and management.
Congenital midline nasal masses (CMNMs) are rare lesions most commonly caused by dermoids, hemangiomas, nasal gliomas or encephaloceles.
We report a case of nasal glioma and discuss the embryologic development, evaluation, and management of such CMNMs. | C08 |
