TL;DR: Predictive tools based on patient and nodule characteristics can be used to accurately estimate the probability that lung nodules detected on baseline screening low-dose CT scans are malignant, according to a population-based prospective study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-center experience with 250 tunnelled pleural catheter insertions for malignant pleural effusion.

TL;DR: TPC placement is an effective method of palliation for MPE that allows outpatient management and low complication rates and should be considered as a first-line treatment option in the management of patients with MPE.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized controlled trial of standard vs endobronchial ultrasonography-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in patients with suspected sarcoidosis.
TL;DR: The diagnostic yield of EBUS-guided TBNA is superior to TBNA using a standard 19-gauge needle for sampling of mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with a clinical suspicion of sarcoidosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of body mass index on outcomes following critical care.
Alain Tremblay,Venkata Bandi +1 more
TL;DR: Low BMI, but not high BMI, is associated with increased mortality and worsened hospital discharge functional status, and LOS is increased in severely obese patients and, to a lesser extent, in underweight patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Participant selection for lung cancer screening by risk modelling (the Pan-Canadian Early Detection of Lung Cancer [PanCan] study): a single-arm, prospective study.

TL;DR: The PanCan model was effective in identifying individuals who were subsequently diagnosed with early, potentially curable, lung cancer, and the incidence of cancers detected and the proportion of early stage cancers in the screened population was higher than observed in previous studies.
