Abstract

The 30-day operative mortality for thoracotomy in lung cancer is described herein. From January 1994 through December 1994, the Japanese Association for Chest Surgery surveyed the number of thoracotomies for lung cancer by operative procedure, age, and operative mortality. The operative mortality was defined as death within 30 days of operation. The total number of operations was 7099. The overall 30-day operative mortality was 1.3%. By operative procedure, the mortalities were 3.2% for pneumonectomy, 1.2% for lobectomy, and 0.8% for a lesser operation, which showed a significant difference between pneumonectomy and lobectomy (p < 0.01). The mortality by age was 0.4% for patients younger than 60 years, 1.3% for those aged 60 to 69, 2.0% for those aged 70 to 79, and 2.2% for those aged 80 or older, which showed significant differences between the less than 60-year and 60- to 69-year-old groups, and between the 60- and 69-year-old and 70- and 79-year-old groups (p < 0.01 and p = 0.047, respectively). Pneumonia and respiratory failure caused most deaths (51.6%). The operative mortality in Japan for thoracotomy in lung cancer was satisfactorily low. The results of this study on a large population could serve as a standard when disc...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
