Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This Year in Review series addresses the most relevant articles published in Respirology and other respiratory medicine journals during 2012 concerning five specific areas that we consider to be of importance to practicing pulmonologists, namely lung cancer, respiratory infections, tuberculosis (TB), pleural diseases, and interventional pulmonology and imaging. Some important findings that will be commented on more in depth are that: 1) screening for lung cancer using low-dose computed tomography (CT) in high risk populations is promising, although not firmly established, 2) an enhanced CURB (which stands for confusion, urea, respiratory rate, blood pressure) score as well as the Japanese A-DROP (age, dehydration, respiratory failure, orientation disturbance, and pressure) prognostic scale are as accurate as the pneumonia severity index (PSI) scoring system to predict mortality in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), 3) randomized trials are urgently needed to optimize multidrug-resistant (MDR)-TB treatment, 4) the use of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) to quantify pleural tumor burden and, if feasible, perform an intrathoracic cytoreduction in patients with malignant effusions secondary to ovarian cancer (OC) may have a significant impact on further patient management plans, and 5) respiratory endoscopy and its different diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, is a safe procedure with overall complication rates less than 1%. |
