Abstract

Endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) offers a novel therapeutic approach for patients with severe pulmonary emphysema. In Europe, several types of ELVR are available. The choice of ELVR technique depends both on the distribution of emphysema and the presence or absence of interlobar collateral ventilation (CV). For this reason, accurate patient selection is crucial. Bronchial valve implantation is the technique that has been most widely studied and represents an effective treatment option for patients with severe heterogeneous upper- or lower-lobe-predominant emphysema. Lobar occlusion and low interlobar CV are predictive factors for positive outcomes. Lung volume reduction coil implantation is an effective option for patients with upper- and lower-lobe-predominant emphysema, and the efficacy is not influenced by CV; however, the technique should be regarded as mainly irreversible. Polymeric lung volume reduction relies on irreversible scarring and fibrosis and is especially effective in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease classified as Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease stage III; it also offers benefits to patients with upper-lobe-predominant emphysema and those with homogeneous emphysem...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
