An 88-Year-Old Woman With Pneumothorax and Black Pleural Effusion
Chest. 2024 Apr;165(4):e119-e123. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.12.002.ABSTRACTAn 88-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with the sudden onset of dyspnea after eating. The patient had undergone nephrectomy for a left renal tumor 24 years previously. The patient had been prescribed ferrous citrate for iron-deficiency anemia. She complained of appetite loss a few days before admission but had no abdominal pain. CT scan showed no abnormalities in the lungs but a mass in the liver.PMID:38599756 | DOI:10.1016/j.chest.2023.12.002 (Source: Chest)

Living Donor Lung Transplantation After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation From the Same Donor: A Risk Worth Taking
We report a successful case of father-to-child single-lobe LT, because of the complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from the same donor, with initial low-dose immunosuppressive therapy and subsequent early discontinuation. Full donor chimerism was hypothesized to be a mechanism of transplant tolerance, and this postulated immunological benefit was deemed to outweigh the risks of living donation and the possible drawbacks of single compared with bilateral LT. Favorable size matching and donor's anatomy, accurate surgical planning, and specific expertise in pediatric transplantation also contributed to the...

A 52-Year-Old Woman With Dysarthria, Ataxia, Xanthelasmas, and Miliary Pulmonary Nodules
Chest. 2024 Apr;165(4):e95-e100. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.10.034.ABSTRACTA 52-year-old woman with no significant medical history was referred to our hospital for expedited workup of progressive dysarthria and ataxia over the past year. Prior CT angiography of the head and neck showed no relevant neurologic findings but did reveal miliary lesions in the lung apices, which was later confirmed via dedicated CT chest scan (Fig 1). Review of systems was negative for any respiratory, constitutional, or rheumatologic symptoms, except for new xanthelasma-like lesions over her forehead. She previously had smoked with 20 pack-years...

Image-assisted pleural needle biopsy or medical thoracoscopy: which method for which patient? a randomized controlled trial
Chest. 2024 Mar 28:S0012-3692(24)00427-6. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2024.03.038. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Image-guided or assisted needle biopsies and the increasing use of medical thoracoscopy (MT) have significantly increased the diagnostic accuracy of pleural diseases. However, there is no consensus on which patients should undergo medical thoracoscopy (MT) and which patient should undergo image-guided or assisted needle biopsy as the first procedure to ensure greater diagnostic accuracy in patients with pleural effusion.RESEARCH QUESTION: Which biopsy method is more appropriate for which patient to provide ...
