We analyzed patient survival after surgery for skeletal metastases and identified risk factors for reoperation and complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included 306 patients with prostate cancer operated for skeletal metastases during 1989-2010. Kaplan-Meier a...

Airways reactivity in patients with CF.

Airways reactivity, hyper-reactivity, and hyper-responsiveness are terms used to describe airways for which there appears to be increased bronchial smooth muscle tone or responsiveness. Some patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have concomitant asthma causing airway hyperresponsiveness as manifested by recurrent acute symptoms of dyspnea that is impressively responsive to an inhaled beta 2 agonis...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, cyanide accumulation and lung function in CF and non-CF bronchiectasis patients.

In patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most important respiratory pathogen. It is able to synthesise hydrogen cyanide, a potent inhibitor of cellular respiration. The present study investigated whether cyanide is present in the sputum of CF and non-CF bronchiectasis patients infected with P. aeruginosa, and whether the detection of cyanide...
