Physiologic evaluation of the patient with lung cancer being considered for resectional surgery: Diagnosis and management of lung cancer, 3rd ed: American College of Chest Physicians evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.
TLDR
A careful preoperative physiologic assessment is useful for identifying those patients at increased risk with standard lung cancer resection and for enabling an informed decision by the patient about the appropriate therapeutic approach to treating his or her lung cancer.About:

Masami Shimoda,Yoshiaki Tanaka,Miyako Hiramatsu,Kozo Morimoto,K. Arakawa,Taro Abe,Koki Ito,M. Suga,Yuji Shiraishi,Kozo Yoshimori,Ken Ohta +10 more
TL;DR: P predictive factors for the application of chemical pleurodesis for pneumothorax are revealed and a predictive score is developed including the following factors: age ≥55 years; presence of emphysema and/or interstitial pneumonitis; and use of chest tube suction.

TL;DR: In stable patients undergoing nonurgent major noncardiac surgery, this index can identify patients at higher risk for complications and may be useful for identification of candidates for further risk stratification with noninvasive technologies or other management strategies.

Effects of extended-release metoprolol succinate in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery (POISE trial): a randomised controlled trial.
TL;DR: The results highlight the risk in assuming a perioperative beta-blocker regimen has benefit without substantial harm, and the importance and need for large randomised trials in theperioperative setting.
