Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of Positron Emission Tomography for Diagnosis of Pulmonary Nodules and Mass Lesions: A Meta-analysis
Michael K. Gould,Courtney C. Maclean,Courtney C. Maclean,Ware G. Kuschner,Chara E. Rydzak,Chara E. Rydzak,Douglas K Owens +6 more
TL;DR: Positron emission tomography with 18-fluorodeoxyglucose is an accurate noninvasive imaging test for diagnosis of pulmonary nodules and larger mass lesions, although few data exist for nodules smaller than 1 cm in diameter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Test performance of positron emission tomography and computed tomography for mediastinal staging in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer: a meta-analysis.
Michael K. Gould,Ware G. Kuschner,Chara E. Rydzak,Courtney C. Maclean,Anita N Demas,Hidenobu Shigemitsu,Jo Kay Chan,Douglas K Owens +7 more
TL;DR: A synthesis of 39 studies found that FDG-PET was more accurate than CT for identifying lymph node involvement and CT was more sensitive but less specific in patients with lymph node enlargement on CT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outdoor Air Pollution: Nitrogen Dioxide, Sulfur Dioxide, and Carbon Monoxide Health Effects
TL;DR: A number of studies examining the effects of ambient level exposure to NO2, SO2, and CO have failed to find associations with adverse health outcomes and have not demonstrated a clear dose-dependent health risk response to increasing amounts of these pollutants except at high concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dose-dependent cigarette smoking-related inflammatory responses in healthy adults.
TL;DR: It is concluded that concentrations of macrophages, neutrophils, IL-1 beta and IL-8 are elevated in the pulmonary microenvironment of smokers in a cigarette dose-dependent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of transbronchial needle aspiration for mediastinal staging of non-small cell lung cancer: a meta-analysis
TL;DR: When properly performed, TBNA is highly specific for identifying mediastinal metastasis in patients with NSCLC, but sensitivity depends critically on the study methods and patient population, and in populations with a lower prevalence of mediastinals, the sensitivity is much lower than reported in recent lung cancer guidelines.
