Pharmacological interventions for preventing atrial fibrillation after lung surgery: systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Current clinical evidence supports the effectiveness of pharmacological intervention with beta-blockers, amiodarone, magnesium sulfate, or calcium-channel blockers to reduce the incidence of POAF after lung surgery in patients with lung cancer. In the absence of contraindications, prophylaxis with beta-blockers seems to be the most effective of the treatments studied.PMID:36136141 | DOI:10.1007/s00228-022-03383-2

Contemporary demographics, diagnostics and outcomes in non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis
Conclusions NBTE was more prevalent in females and embolic complications were the most frequent clinical finding. Overall, patients with NBTE had a poor prognosis, particularly in those with lung cancer or metastatic tumours. Further studies in patients with NBTE are needed given its morbidity and mortality.

Disparities in Comorbidities in Lung Cancer: Findings From the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
Conclusion Findings show that there may be differences in patterns of comorbidities among individuals with lung cancer. As we continue to move toward individualized medicine in cancer care, future work in this area should examine social determinants of health and how they may influence the patterns of comorbidities. Implication for Nurses Although nurses may be aware that certain groups have an increased risk for certain comorbid conditions, this study highlights what groups with lung cancer may be more likely to have certain comorbidities. Nurses can assess individuals for comorbidities and provide education on...

Compression and Expansion of Morbidity-Secular Trends Among Cohorts of the Same Age
CONCLUSION: The notion of morbidity being reduced by compression seems less tenable in view of the double development just mentioned. The findings suggest that the observed secular trend toward better heath among the elderly has not persisted among the more recently born cohorts. This can have negative effects on social security systems, particularly with respect to retirement ages being deferred or made more flexible, as well as the cost of health care.PMID:36300897 | DOI:10.3238/arztebl.m2022.0324

Meta analysis of health effects of ambient air pollution exposure in low- and middle-income countries
Environ Res. 2022 Nov 11:114604. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114604. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIt is well established that exposure to ambient air pollution affects human health. A majority of literature concentrated on health effects of air pollution in high income countries. Only fewer studies analyzing health effects of air pollution in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) are available. To bridge this gap in literature, this study investigated short term and long-term health impacts of ambient air pollutants focussed in LMICs. We evaluated Total Non-accidental mortality, Respiratory Mortality, Stroke Mortality, ...

Active screening for lung cancer increases smoking abstinence in Australia
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides the first data on smoking cessation rates in Australian lung cancer screenees and supports screening as a teachable moment. We identify several factors that identify smokers who may require more intensive smoking cessation interventions and could be used to develop effective smoking cessation as part of lung cancer screening, tailored to individual risk profiles.PMID:36437500 | DOI:10.1111/ajco.13879

Ultrasound guided(USG) trucut biopsy of the pleura, lymph nodes and chest wall/subcutaneous lesions performed by respiratory physicians
Conclusion: Trained respiratory physician are able to safely run US guided biopsy service. This would increase capacity, reduce the diagnostic delays and obviate the need for invasive procedures. Our diagnostic accuracy is similar to previous studies performed.
