Radionuclides in lung diagnostics: A new approach
With a 99mTc-labelled aerosol an inhalation (ventilation) image of the lungs was obtained. A lung perfusion image was obtained with 99mTc-labelled macro-aggregates. The data from the gamma camera were stored in a computer and the inhalation-perfusion (I/P) ratio was calculated for the total lung as well as for one half another selected region, and a local (pixel) area. In the anaesthetised dog…

Clinical analysis of pneumonectomy for destroyed lung: a retrospective study …
Objective Destroyed lung is whole lung destruction secondary to chronic or recurrent lung infections. This clinical condition can result in irreversible changes in the lung parenchyma. In this study, we aimed to evaluate patients undergoing pneumonectomy with a diagnosis of lung destruction in terms of surgical technique, post-operative morbidity and mortality, and long-term outcomes.

However, irrespective of asthma severity and often despite optimal medical therapy, patients may experience acute exacerbations of symptoms and a loss of disease control. Asthma exacerbations are most commonly triggered by vir…

Pulmonary Rehabilitation in lung cancer
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents a very severe disease, being its incidence increasingly reported and, nowadays, successfully treatable only when surgery is deemed to be feasible. Furthermore, the disease and the clinical effects related to the complementary therapies (radio and/or chemotherapy) may strongly affect, frequently with dramatic clinical side effects, the patient’s ab…
