The study aimed to compare the reported oncological outcomes based on satisfactory lymph node dissection (LND) or lymph node sampling (LNS), systemic and loco-regional recurrence rate and long-term survival rate of patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy or thoracotomy lobectomy. A systematic review was conducte...
Empyema is defined by the presence of bacteria and/or pus in pleural effusions. However, the biology of bacteria within human pleural fluid has not been studied. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of pediatric and frequent cause of adult empyema. We investigated whether S. pneumoniae can proliferate within human pleural fluid and if growth is affected by the cellular content of t...
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems on diffuse lung diseases (DLD) were required to facilitate radiologists to read highresolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans. An important task on developing such CAD systems was to make computers automatically recognize typical pulmonary textures of DLD on HRCT. In this work, we proposed a bag-of-features based method for the classification of six kind...
BACKGROUND Previous researchers have shown that non-medical endoscopists can perform lower gastrointestinal endoscopy as safely and effectively as medical staff. However, it is not known if upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed by medical and non-medical endoscopists in clinical practice yields similar results in terms of performance, patient discomfort, and satisfaction. AIM To determin...

BACKGROUND Knowledge of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) inheritance is based on pedigree observation and M-mode echocardiography. The extent of familial clustering of MVP among unselected individuals in the community using current, more specific echocardiographic criteria is unknown. In addition, the importance of nondiagnostic MVP morphologies (NDMs; first described in large pedigrees) has not bee...
OBJECTIVE Advances in nutrition, sanitation, water supply, technology and drugs have managed to add years to life. However, with the continuing increase in the non-communicable diseases, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that disabilities have eroded nine years from the healthy quality of life of Jamaicans. The current study aims to provide factors that will explain how to attain 'go...
OBJECTIVES The primary aim of this study was to examine the impact of the introduction of an integrated adult critical care patient retrieval system in Victoria, Australia, on early clinical outcomes for major trauma patients who undergo interhospital transfer. The secondary aims were to examine the impact on quality and process measures for interhospital transfers in this population, and on lo...
OBJECTIVES To review the cases receiving peripartum hysterectomies treated in this hospital during the period 1967-1995. Clinical characteristics, indications, and results were more closely analyzed. STUDY DESIGN A chart review of all cases operated since January 1967 to December 1995 was done. Demographic and clinical data were extracted, coded, and entered into a computer file for analysis....
