1,192 | 3,743 | Feasibility of intraoperative cytodiagnosis of lung cancer.
Of 354 thoracotomies, 114 cases involved intraoperative cytopathologic evaluation.
The study included 86 men and 28 women, and 184 specimens were examined.
Smears were taken from the lung lesion or lymph node and the chest wall or bronchial stump by imprint... | C08 |
1,193 | 3,714 | Prevention of nosocomial lung infection in ventilated patients: use of an antimicrobial pharyngeal nonabsorbable paste.
A comparative, prospective study was made of the incidence of infection in the lower airway (purulent tracheobronchitis and pneumonia) in long-term patients who were mechanically ventilated due to re... | C08 |
1,194 | 9,313 | src expression in small-cell lung carcinoma and other neuroendocrine malignancies.
The proto-oncogene c-src codes for two tyrosine kinases, pp60c-src and pp60c-srcN.
The latter protein appears to be exclusively expressed in neurons and neuronally differentiated tumors.
In cell lines derived from neuroblastoma and sm... | C08 |

1,196 | 4,127 | Hydraulic conductivity of canine parietal pleura in vivo.
The hydraulic conductivity (Lp) of the parietal pleura was measured in vivo in spontaneously breathing anesthetized dogs in either the supine (n = 8) or the prone (n = 7) position and in an excised portion of the chest wall in which the pleura and its adjacent ... | C08 |
1,197 | 7,886 | Rapid diagnosis of lung cancer from palpable metastases by needle thrust.
This study encourages the use of percutaneous FNB to diagnose and stage advanced lung cancer in patients with palpable metastases in supraclavicular lymph nodes or soft tissues.
Percutaneous FNB of metastases is much easier to learn than transt... | C08 |
1,198 | 3,744 | Concentration of tumor-associated trypsin inhibitor (TATI) in pleural effusions.
We measured the concentration of tumor-associated trypsin inhibitor (TATI) in plasma and pleural fluid of 84 patients with pleural effusions of various causes.
We observed elevated (greater than 30 micrograms/L) TATI levels in pleural fl... | C08 |
1,199 | 612 | Pneumonia syndromes: a clinical approach in the elderly.
Important in the pathogenesis of pneumonia in the elderly patient are chronic diseases, including diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cerebrovascular disease.
Also vital are the change... | C08 |
