Associations between waist circumference, central obesity, and the presence of non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients with heart failure
CONCLUSIONS: Our research found that WC is related to the presence of heart failure in the patients with NYAF and can predict the presence of NVAF with heart failure. Our findings may help to improve the treatment and care strategies of NVAF individuals with abdominal obesity.PMID:38617752 | PMC:PMC11009574 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-24-170 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Prognostic factors of recurrence and disease-free survival in radically resected pulmonary carcinoids: a real-world analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Recurrence in PCs after complete resection is relatively rare. However, DFS is reduced in ACs compared to TCs. Tumor size (cm) and nodal involvement appear as the most important prognostic factors associated with recurrence in PCs, independent of histologic type.PMID:38617753 | PMC:PMC11009585 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1681 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Clinical impact of postoperative radiotherapy in pIII-N2 non-small cell lung cancer after complete resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to adjuvant chemotherapy alone, additional PORT was significantly associated with a reduced local recurrence rate. However, neither DFS nor OS benefited from PORT in patients with pIII-N2 NSCLC who had undergone complete resection.PMID:38617755 | PMC:PMC11009594 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1742 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Complications of ultrasound guided very small-bore chest drains for pleural effusions of different etiology
CONCLUSIONS: A single small-bore chest drain (6-10 F) was successful in the vast majority of simple PEs, but had high complication rates in empyema with frequent need of additional drains or surgery. These findings support use of larger drains and early consultation with a thoracic surgeon in empyema.PMID:38617756 | PMC:PMC11009582 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1457 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Outcomes of oncological intended thoracic surgery after lung transplantation
CONCLUSIONS: Incidence of lung cancer is increased after LT. Follow-up care allows early diagnosis with a comparably high share of operable tumor stage. Cancer as well as postoperative complications were more likely after single lung transplantation (SLT). Postoperative morbidity and mortality are higher in this scarce group of patients and hence, warrants a centered and experienced interdisciplinary approach.PMID:38617760 | PMC:PMC11009586 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1669 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Research trends and hotspots in the field of electrical impedance tomography for mechanical ventilation: a bibliometric analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Significant progress has been made in EIT research for mechanical ventilation. EIT research is limited to a small number of countries with a present research focus on the prevention and treatment of ventilator-related lung injury, oxygenation status, and prone ventilation. These topics are expected to remain research hotspots in the future.PMID:38617762 | PMC:PMC11009609 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-24-98 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Establishment and verification of a prediction model based on clinical characteristics and computed tomography radiomics parameters for distinguishing benign and malignant pulmonary nodules
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical-radiomics nomogram combined of CT-based radiomics signature, along with CYFRA21-1 and CEA, demonstrated strong predictive ability, calibration, and clinical usefulness in distinguishing between benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. The use of CT-based radiomics has the potential to assist clinicians in making informed decisions prior to biopsy or surgery while avoiding unnecessary treatment for non-cancerous lesions.PMID:38617763 | PMC:PMC11009598 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1400 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy versus minimally invasive esophagectomy for thoracic lymph node dissection in patients with squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective comparative cohort study

Moreover, RAMIE may be not associated with additional surgical complications.PMID:38617764 | PMC:PMC11009590 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-24-201 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)
