We performed a prospective study where we carefully lowered hyperglycemia by insulin administration during the surgery, and for the first time we monitored immediate insulin effects on lung physiology and gene transcription.

متن کاملDoes thoracoscopy have advantages over open surgery for asymptomatic congenital lung malformations? An analysis of 1626 resections.
AIM The apparent incidence of antenatally diagnosed congenital lung malformations (CLM) is rising (1 in 3000), and the majority undergo elective resection even if asymptomatic. Thoracoscopy has been popularized, but early series report high conversion rates and significant complications. We aimed to perform systematic review/meta-analysis of outcomes of thoracoscopic vs open excision of asympto...
