Risk Stratification in Lung Resection
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Surgery is considered the best treatment option for patients with early stage lung cancer. Nevertheless, lung resection may cause a variable functional impairment that could influence the whole cardio-respiratory system with potential life-threatening complications. The aim of the present study is to review the most relevant evidences about the evaluation of surgical risk befo...
متن کاملRisk Stratification of Lung Nodules Using 3D CNN-Based Multi-task Learning
Risk stratification of lung nodules is a task of primary importance in lung cancer diagnosis. Any improvement in robust and accurate nodule characterization can assist in identifying cancer stage, prognosis, and improving treatment planning. In this study, we propose a 3D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based nodule characterization strategy. With a completely 3D approach, we utilize the vol...
متن کاملSize isn't everything
I n his second major book, The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex, Charles Darwin showed that when animals compete for mates, sexual selection can drive many types of evolutionary change (Darwin, 1871). However, he did not notice that this competition continued even after animals had finished mating. Sperm competition was only described a century later when groundbreaking work show...
متن کاملRisk stratification of lung transplant candidates: implications for organ allocation.
Organ Allocation In response to perceived inequities of the existing timebased system, and under mandate of the federal government, a new lung allocation system was introduced in the United States in 2005. This system allocates organs on the basis of medical urgency (risk for death without transplantation) and “net transplant benefit” (the extent to which survival is increased with, as opposed ...
متن کاملEvidence of Lung Function for Stratification of Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Among adults in the United States, the prevalence of reduced lung function including obstructive and restrictive lung disease is about 20%, representing an over 40 million adults. Persons with reduced lung function often demonstrate chronic systemic inflammation, such as from elevated levels of C-reactive protein. Substantial data suggests that inflammation may have a significant role in the as...
