Photodynamic Therapy of trachea and main bronchi cancer employing the photodynamic action of the photosensitisers of second generation

For Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) to be carried out photosensitisers of second generation (photoditazene, radochlorine, photolone) as well as made in Russia Milon-Lachta semiconductor lasers with the wave length of 662nm were used (power density 300J/cm2).

The treatment was carried out in complex for 11 patients aged from 39 to 72.8 patients were stated to have inoperable tumors and they received radiotherapy and chemotherapy, however after the treatment recurrence of the disease took place. One of the patients had adenocystic cancer of trachea. After PDT no signs of disease incurrence were found during 3 subsequent years of observation. One woman after pneumonectomy who had the incurrence of malignant carcinoid of her only lung for 4 years to follow had preserved quite appropriate lumina of ...

New Guidelines On Managing Childhood Asthma Released

Children aged five and under - particularly those with intermittent viral-induced wheezing - should be treated with oral corticosteroids for asthma only if their wheeze is severe enough to require hospital admission, according to new guidelines. The Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ) updated its position statement on corticosteroid use in childhood asthma after reviewing recently published clinical research...

FeNO measurement distinguishes children with allergic sensitization

Results from a Taiwanese study suggest that fraction of exhaled nitric oxide measurement effectively distinguishes children with allergic sensitization from children without, regardless of allergic symptoms.

Extra corporal membrane oxygenation in general thoracic surgery: new canulation

We present a case using ECMO for peri-operative airway management for pulmonary resection, using a of a novel single-site, internal jugular, veno-venous ECMO cannula.

Why Are Asthma Rates Soaring?

Asthma rates have been surging around the globe over the past three decades, and for a long time researchers thought they had a good idea of what might be fueling the increase: the world we live in is just a little too clean.

According to this notion--known as the hygiene hypothesis--exposure in early childhood to infectious agents programs the immune system to mount differing highly effective defenses against disease-causing viruses, bacteria and parasites. Better sanitary conditions deprive the immune system of this training, so that for reasons that are still unclear, the body pounces on harmless particles--such as dust and ragweed--as if they were deadly threats.

The resulting allergic reaction leads to the classic signs of asthma: chronic inflammation or swelling of the airways and ac...
