Journal ArticleDOI
Technique, indications, and clinical use of 24 hour esophageal pH monitoring
Tom R. DeMeester,Ching-I Wang,Jorge A. Wernly,C A Pellegrini,Alex G. Little,Peter Klementschitsch,Gustavo A. Bermudez,Lawrence F. Johnson,David B. Skinner +8 more
TL;DR: Experience with the 24 hour pH test in 393 patients with suspected esophageal disease has shown the clinical usefulness of the test in objectively determining the presence of gastroesophageaal reflux.
Journal ArticleDOI
Esophageal cancer: results of an American College of Surgeons patient care evaluation study
John M. Daly,Willard A Fry,Alex G. Little,David P. Winchester,Rosemary F. McKee,Andrew K. Stewart,Amy Fremgen +6 more
TL;DR: Cancer of the Esophagus shows an increasing occurrence of adenocarcinoma in the lower third of the esophagus and is frequently associated with Barrett's esophageal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of Surgical Care of Lung Cancer Patients
Alex G. Little,Valerie W. Rusch,James A. Bonner,Laurie E. Gaspar,Mark R. Green,W. Richard Webb,Andrew K. Stewart +6 more
TL;DR: Patients being operated for NSCLC are elderly with significant comorbid conditions and Mediastinoscopy is infrequently performed and lymph nodes are biopsied in less than 50% of them, and positive surgical margins are too frequent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection of operation for esophageal cancer based on staging.
TL;DR: The favorable survival rates after en bloc resection in those with limited (< W2N2) disease support the concept of selecting patients for curative surgery based on preoperative and operative staging, and the value of the new staging system was shown by the significant difference in survival curves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusing capacity predicts morbidity and mortality after pulmonary resection.
Mark K. Ferguson,Louise Little,Louis Rizzo,Keith J. Popovich,Garique F. Glonek,Alan R. Leff,Deborah Manjoney,Alex G. Little +7 more
TL;DR: The diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide was the most important predictor of mortality and was the sole predictor of postoperative pulmonary complications, and it usually should be a part of the evaluation of patients being considered for pulmonary resection.
