TL;DR: It was concluded from this study that this technique can be feasibly applied to patients with a tumor of less than 3 cm located at the periphery of the lung and with the histologic picture of highly differentiated type.
Abstract: The validity and indications of limited resection for lung cancer were studied based on the results of 34 patients with lung cancer who underwent surgery. This method appeared to be an effective technique for the preservation of the cardiopulmonary function after surgery, particularly in elderly patients. The prognosis of those who underwent limited resection for selected cases was not significantly different from that of those treated by lobectomy. Recurrences were seen exclusively in Stage II patients, most of whom had a poorly differentiated type of cell pathology and developed blood vessel involvement. It was concluded from this study that this technique can be feasibly applied to patients with a tumor of less than 3 cm located at the periphery of the lung and with the histologic picture of highly differentiated type.

TL;DR: The limit of application of intraaortic balloon pumping was evaluated in cases of canine myocardial infarction produced by either ligation of the descending coronary artery and of branches in the right coronary aretery or establishment of stenosis in the left main coronary artery.
Abstract: The limit of application of intraaortic balloon pumping was evaluated in cases of canine myocardial infarction produced by either ligation of the descending coronary artery and of branches in the right coronary aretery or establishment of stenosis in the left main coronary artery. The limit of application of intraaortic balloon pumping was confirmed to be as follows: 1) stenosis of seventy-five per cent or more in left main coronary artery, 2) over 45 per cent infarction of the entire left ventricular free wall, 3) endocardial viability ratio of less than 0.65,4) blood flow of less than 18 ml/min/100g in the left circumflex coronary artery when the left descending coronary artery was ligated, 5) and less than 0.69 in the ratio of inside blood flow to outside of the left ventricular free wall, as related to regional myocardial blood flow.

TL;DR: The experience reported herein supports the contention that pacemaker implantation in the newborn is feasible and beneficial in the treatment of congenital complete AV block and without other concomitant cardiac anomalies.
Abstract: Reported herein is our experience with pacemaker implantation in a neonate with complete AV block and without other concomitant cardiac anomalies. A male fetus exhibited an intrauterine heart block rate of about 40 beats per minute on the electrocardiogram. An emergency pacemaker implantation was attempted at birth by means of intravenous temporary pacing to relieve signs of congestive heart failure. On the 28th day of life, a myocardial electrode was fixed on the right ventricular wall and the generator was positioned on the left side of the subcutaneous abdominal wall. A technical device was designed by means of packing pacemaker wire in a loop-forming fashion with a silastic sheet and was made in such a way as to adjust with growth of the patient. During the 2 year follow-up period, this technique proved to be effective. Our experience also supports the contention that pacemaker implantation in the newborn is feasible and beneficial in the treatment of congenital complete AV block.
