Successful hemostasis of intractable hemoptysis with endobronchial Watanabe spigots following endoscopic thrombin injection into the bleeding bronchus in an inoperable patient [0.03%]
Noboru Hamada,Hiroki Mino,Chisato Yamamoto et al.
Noboru Hamada et al.
Patients with hemoptysis refractory to conventional treatments and ineligible for surgical intervention often have a poor prognosis. We report a 74-year-old man with intractable hemoptysis deemed inoperable, successfully treated using a nov...
Bridging therapy with airway stent placement followed by immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with lung cancer and malignant airway disorders: A retrospective study [0.03%]
Yuki Takigawa,Ken Sato,Kenichiro Kudo et al.
Yuki Takigawa et al.
Background: Airway stent placement is used to manage malignant airway obstruction, but often these patients cannot receive immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) because of poor performance status (PS). We evaluated whether ...
Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid KL-6 and SP-D levels in relation to fibrotic features of interstitial lung disease [0.03%]
Shuya Miyazaki,Naoyuki Kuse,Minoru Inomata et al.
Shuya Miyazaki et al.
Background: Although Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) and surfactant protein D (SP-D) are established as serum biomarkers for interstitial lung disease (ILD), these are rarely measured in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)....
Tsung-Ju Wu,Jui-Hsuen Wu,Yang-Ching Ko et al.
Tsung-Ju Wu et al.
Background: Mobile health technologies have been shown to improve asthma control. However, the effect on web-based Asthma Control Test (ACT) with cloud computing on asthma control status remains unknown. We aimed to exami...
Nocturnal hypercapnia in the patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia registered for lung transplantation [0.03%]
特发性间质性肺炎供肺登记患者的夜间高碳酸血症
Atsushi Takeda,Yoshinari Nakatsuka,Tomohiro Handa et al.
Atsushi Takeda et al.
Background: Respiratory failure in idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) is mainly non-hypercapnic hypoxia, although hypercapnia also occurs in advanced stages. Although sleep-disordered breathing in IIPs is drawing att...
Patients with asthma and asthma control test scores 20-22: A grey zone between Japanese and global remission criteria [0.03%]
哮喘控制测试评分在20-22分的哮喘患者：日本和全球缓解标准之间的灰色区域
Shun Nagumo,Hiroshi Ueno,Ami Aoki et al.
Shun Nagumo et al.
Background: The definition of clinical remission has not been fully standardized. The Japanese guideline adopts a criterion of Asthma Control Test (ACT) score ≥23, compared with the global threshold of ≥20. In this stud...
Carcinoma of unknown primary with a lung cancer profile in mediastinal and/or hilar lymph nodes: EGFR-mutant cases and a literature review of actionable drivers [0.03%]

Reo Tome,Makoto Furugen,Shigeki Chinen et al.
Reo Tome et al.
We report two cases of carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) with a lung cancer profile harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Case 1 was node-limited and achieved a durable partial response for at least 15 months with os...
Novel predictive score for sleep disordered breathing in Asians: the Nagahama study [0.03%]
亚洲人睡眠呼吸障碍预测评分的建立与验证——以长滨队列研究为例
Takeshi Matsumoto,Kimihiko Murase,Yasuharu Tabara et al.
Takeshi Matsumoto et al.
Background: Early detection of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is limited by the insufficient accuracy of current screening tools, especially for Asians. This study aimed to clarify factors associated with SDB and develo...

特发性胸膜肺纤维弹性症患者气管偏移的临床意义分析
Masato Kono,Takumi Muramatsu,Takahiko Saito et al.
Masato Kono et al.
Background: Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (IPPFE) is a rare form of interstitial pneumonia, characterized by upper lobe-predominant fibrosis. Tracheal deviation is frequently observed in this condition; howe...
A proposed pathological diagnosis flowchart for adult interstitial lung disease with transbronchial lung cryobiopsy: Position paper from the Japanese research group on diffuse lung disease [0.03%]
日本弥漫性肺疾病研究组提出的经支气管冷冻肺活检在成人间质性肺疾病的病理诊断流程图意见书
Yoshiaki Zaizen,Ryoko Saito-Koyama,Koji Okudela et al.
Yoshiaki Zaizen et al.
Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy for interstitial lung disease is described in guidelines as an "acceptable alternative" to surgical lung biopsy. However, the pathological diagnosis of interstitial lung disease by transbronchial lung cryobiop...
