Prospective Observation Study for Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax: Incidence of and Risk Factors for Postoperative Neogenesis of Bullae
CONCLUSIONS: We recognized a high incidence of postoperative NOB in PSP patients. Bullectomy itself seems to promote NOB. Postoperative NOB occurs frequently, especially in patients who require a large-volume lung resection with a long staple line.PMID:38599823 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.23-00206 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

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)

A 24-year-Old woman with recurrent pneumothoraces
Respir Med Case Rep. 2024 Mar 27;49:102015. doi: 10.1016/j.rmcr.2024.102015. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTLymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is an abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle-like cells and may occur sporadically or in association with tuberous sclerosis complex. Patients are typically female, nonsmoking and may have cystic lung disease with pneumothorax. Diagnosis can be made by compatible imaging findings with a history of tuberous sclerosis complex, or in conjunction with vascular endothelial growth factor-D 800 pg/ml or greater, a highly specific finding. Sirolimus is first line treatment for LAM.PMID:38596619 | PM...

Inhaled bronchodilators for the prevention and treatment of chronic lung disease in preterm infants
CONCLUSIONS: Low-certainty evidence from one trial showed that inhaled bronchodilator prophylaxis may result in little or no difference in the incidence of mortality or CLD in preterm infants, when compared to placebo. The evidence is very uncertain about the effect of salbutamol on pneumothorax, and neither included study reported on the incidence of serious adverse effects. We identified no trials that studied the use of bronchodilator therapy for the treatment of CLD. Additional clinical trials are necessary to assess the role of bronchodilator agents in the prophylaxis or treatment of CLD. Researchers studying the effe...
