Abstract

Currently, therapeutic options for malignant lung nodules include surgical resection, stereotactic radiotherapy, and percutaneous ablation. Each individual technique has its limitations. However, hybrid procedures involving active multispecialty collaboration may open up novel treatment options in complex oncology scenarios. We report an isolated paramediastinal lung cancer recurrence treated by thoracoscopic mobilization and radio-frequency ablation guided by intraoperative ultrasound. Although the patient was not cured, the case illustrates the feasibility of such an approach. Evolving experience and eventual availability of advanced intraoperative imaging techniques such as C-arm CT fluoroscopy may allow more accurate and more effective treatment in the future.RESUMEActuellement, les options therapeutiques pour les nodules pulmonaires malins comprennent l'exerese chirurgicale, la radiotherapie stereotaxique et l'ablation percutanee. Chacune de ces techniques a ses limites. Toutefois, les proced...

Abstract

We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study to determine the performance characteristics of the galactomannan (GM) assay in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in patients with hematologic malignancies. Patients were classified as proven, probable, possible, or no invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), according to international guidelines. A total of 173 BAL samples from 145 patients were included. There were 5 proven, 7 probable, and 35 possible cases of IPA. Using a GM index cutoff of ≥ 0.5, the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV, respectively) of the BAL GM assay were 100%, 78%, 26%, and 100%, respectively. Using a GM index cutoff of ≥ 2.0, the sensitivity and NPV remained 100%, but specificity and PPV increased to 93% and 50%, respectively. The BAL GM assay is a highly sensitive screening test for IPA in patients with hematologic malignancies. Increasing the cutoff value to 2.0 would improve the performance of this assay.

Abstract

Objective: Transesophageal echocardiography is a diagnostic and monitoring modality. The objectives of our study were to compare the diagnoses obtained with continuous transesophageal echocardiography and hemodynamic monitoring in the intensive care unit, to determine interobserver variability of diagnosis obtained with both modalities, and to evaluate its impact. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Surgical intensive care unit. Patients: Consecutive hemodynamically unstable patients after cardiac surgery. Interventions: At admission, unstable patients were monitored during 4 hrs with transesophageal echocardiography and standard hemodynamic monitoring. The critical care physician evaluated the patients based on all information except the transesophageal echocardiography at 0, 2, and 4 hrs and formulated a hypothesis on the most likely cause of hemodynamic instability. Transesophageal echocardiography information was provided after each evaluation. To evaluate interobserver variability, all the hemodynamic and echocardiographic information was gathered, randomized, and evaluated by five clinicians for the hemodynamic data and five echocardiographers for the transesophageal echocardiography data. The evaluators were blinded to all other information. Kappa statistics were used to evaluate agreement. Impact of transesophageal echocardiography was assessed retrospectively by using the Deutsch scale. Results: Twenty patients qualified for the study. The agreement between the hemodynamic and echocardiographic diagnosis showed a kappa at admission, 2 hrs, and 4 hrs of 0.33, 0.47, and 0.28. The interobserver agreement for the initial diagnosis (p = .014) and between all evaluators (p

Abstract

To compare two methods of analysis of regional wall-motion (RWM) using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).Thirty patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery were studied. The transgastric short axis view at the mid-papillary level was recorded before and after cardiopulmonary bypass. All images were reviewed by an anesthesiologist trained in TEE and an echocardiographer. Regional wall motion was graded: 1 normal, 2 hypokinetic, 3 akinetic, and 4 dyskinetic. The left ventricle was evaluated according to the guidelines of the American Society of Echocardiography using 6-segment, and 4-segment models. Agreement between observers (interobservers), and for one observer at two different moments (intraobservers), for grading each segment was defined as RWM abnormality scores within 1 grade. A wall-motion score index (WMSI), which is the sum of individual scores divided by the number of segments visualized, was calculated. A Bland Altman analysis was used to assess interobserver variability.Agreement between observers occurred in 96% and 94% of the examined segments, using 4- and 6-segment models respectively. Intraobserver agreement was 99% and 97% for the 4- and 6-segment models. The mean differences (bias) of the interobserver variability in grading the segments were 0.04 +/- 0.79 and 0 +/- 0.72 using a 4- or 6-segment model. The mean difference of the interobserver variability in WMSI were -0.05 +/- 0.42 and 0.05 +/- 0.37 using a 4- or a 6-segment model.Both methods, using either a 4- or a 6-segment model, result in a high intraobserver and interobserver agreement, and a low interobserver variability.
