متن کاملA case of tracheobronchial amyloidosis treated with endoscopic debulking and external beam radiation therapy.
We report on a 55-year-old patient who was admitted to hospital because of recurrent pneumonia. CT imaging provided airway narrowing and mural thickening of the distal trachea and mainstem bronchi, compatible with endobronchial polypoid, toric-shaped changes of the distal tracheal wall spreading into both the left and right bronchial system. Bronchoscopy was performed and biopsies revealed the ...

When first seen her symptoms of wheezing cough and mucopurulent sputum sometimes streaked with blood were of recent onset, but on bronchogram and bronchoscopy her disease was already widespread. Appearances at b...
متن کاملRadiation-induced myocardial perfusion abnormalities in breast cancer patients following external beam radiation therapy
Objective(s): Radiation therapy for breast cancer can induce myocardial capillary injury and increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A prospective cohort was conducted to study the prevalence of myocardial perfusion abnormalities following radiation therapy of left-sided breast cancer patients as compared to those with right–sided cancer. Methods: To minimize potential confounding fact...
متن کاملColchicine Treatment for Tracheobronchial Amyloidosis
Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is an infrequent disease characterized by the deposition of proteinaceous material in the tracheobronchial tree. The disease generally has a high morbidity and variable mortality in the years following diagnosis. There is no consensus on the optimal treatment. We report a case of a 63-year-old woman who presented with a diffuse tracheobronchial amyloidosis associate...
