Cardio-Pulmonary Changes After Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction with Endobronchial One-Way Valves
ConclusionBronchoscopic valve treatment seemed to have positive effects on cardio-pulmonary hemodynamics, and these changes were correlated with reductions of lobar volume.

Percent emphysema and right ventricular structure and function: The MESA Lung and MESA-RV Studies.
CONCLUSIONS: Percent emphysema was associated with smaller RV volumes and lower mass. The relationship of emphysema to cardiac function is complex but likely involves increased pulmonary vascular resistance predominantly with reduced cardiac output, pulmonary hyperinflation, and accelerated cardiopulmonary aging.

Thermal Vapor Ablation for Lung Lesions in a Porcine Model
Conclusions: Vapor ablation is a potentially safe and efficient means of ablating a targeted region of the lung. We hypothesize that vapor may be useful in treating lesions of the lung in humans.Respiration

Comparative study about perception of tobacco package disease risk warning and aware COPD among intergenerational/institutional
Conclusion: The results showed that the regardless of age and institutions, imbalance was observed. In addition, health harm of smoke, despite the knowledge of package warning ratio was not unified. This was speculated that the elderly from the youth in Japan were not exposed to anti-tobacco msg and/or were not taught about the harmful. Moreover, we considered important that all risk perceptions will be uniform. Therefore we should do more educate and precaution of Smoking and COPD.

Five Year Trends of Critical Care Practice and Outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: Analyses of patients, practices, and outcomes from a large geographically dispersed sample of adult ICUs revealed trends of increasing age and acuity, higher rates of adherence to best practice, use of non-invasive mechanical ventilation and decreased use of antimicrobials, transfusions, and duration of renal replacement therapies. Acuity adjusted LOS and in hospital mortality decreased. PMID: 28800866 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Study of the usefulness of small-bore aspiration catheters (Aspiration Kit®) for treating pneumothorax
Conclusions] The results suggest that small-bore aspiration catheters, which cause less pain in patients, are potentially useful for pneumothorax drainage.

Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and chronic obstructive lung disease leak inhaled nanoparticles to the blood
There is a link between acute elevated air pollution levels and sudden death. One theory is that nano particles (<100 nm) deposited in the lungs transfer to the blood where they cause acute effects (i.e. inflammation, plaque rupture) causing heart attack or stroke.In a previous study on healthy subjects (n=10) we have shown low clearance of inhaled nano particles into the blood. Here we include 9 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and 11 subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Both groups have alveolar damage; destruction and formation of scar tissue in IPF, and emphysema in COPD.All p...

Local incidence and outcomes of patients with pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum in COVID-19
Conclusions: Inpatient incidence of PTX and PM is 0.98%. Survival is lower (54.5%) but difficult to compare in the presence of frailty and co-morbidities.

Reduction of Lung Hyperinflation Improves Cardiac Preload, Contractility, and Output in Emphysema: A Prospective Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Study in Patients Who Received Endobronchial Valves
CONCLUSIONS: We found that reduction of hyperinflation using BLVR with endobronchial valves significantly improved cardiac preload, myocardial contractility, and cardiac output, without changes in pulmonary artery pressures.

Air leak in Covid 19: experience from a DGH in the UK
Conclusions: Inpatient incidence of PTX and PM is still approximately 1%. Survival is better as overall Covid19 survival improves(direct mortality from air leak approx. 21 %) with mortality due to other factors rather than the air leak.
