This work will provide all those diagnostic cases where PNTX is induced and treatment from the point of view of expert radiologists and pulmonary physicians for lung cancer diagnostics.
Abstract
Currently there several diagnostic techniques that re used by radiologists and pulmonary physicians for lung cancer diagnostics. In several cases pneumothorax (PNTX) is induced and immediate action is needed. Both radiologists and pulmonary physicians can insert a chest tube for symptom relief. However; only pulmonary physicians and thoracic surgeons can provide a permanent solution for the patient. The final solution would be for a patient to undergo surgery for a final solution. In our current work we will provide all those diagnostic cases where PNTX is induced and treatment from the point of view of expert radiologists and pulmonary physicians.

Management of Persistent Air Leaks.

TL;DR: In patients who have recently undergone thoracic surgery or in whom surgery would be contraindicated based on the severity of illness, there has been a lack of treatment options, and newer and less invasive treatment options have been developed.

Pneumothorax as a complication of central venous catheter insertion.

TL;DR: The current review will present the complication of pneumothorax after CVC insertion, and Sterile technique is highly important here, as a line may serve as a port of entry for pathogenic organisms, and the line itself may become infected with organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative StAPHylococci.

An integrated segmentation and shape-based classification scheme for distinguishing adenocarcinomas from granulomas on lung CT.

TL;DR: The major finding of this study was that certain shape features appear to differentially express between granulomas and adenocarcinomas and thus computer extracted shape cues could be used to distinguish these radiographically similar pathologies.

Anesthesia for interventional pulmonology procedures: a review of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy.

TL;DR: This review discusses different technical aspects of anesthesia for interventional pulmonary procedures with an emphasis placed on pharmacologic combinations, airway management, ventilation techniques, and common complications.
