background: coverage of the bronchial stumps (bss) with adjacent tissues can improve healing and reduce bronchial complications in complex thoracic surgery. there is no evidence for the application of human amnion allograft for prevention of air leak from the bs. the comparison of the amniotic membrane (am) and pleural patch for bs healing after lobectomy in dogs was our aim in this study. mate...

Bronchial asthma is developed as an immune response to allergen challenges accompanied by inflammation and fibrosis implicated in airway remodeling. To reveal the causative implication of Cu-containing amino oxidases semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), DAO lysyl (LOX) BA development we used their irreversible inhibitor semicarbazide guinea pig model induced ovalbumin. Semicarbazide wa...

OBJECTIVES Sleeve resection is the operation of choice in patients with centrally located tumours, in order to avoid a pneumonectomy. Most surgeons protect the bronchial anastomoses with tissue to prevent insufficiencies. The purpose of this study is to report on outcome of unwrapped bronchial anastomoses, especially after neoadjuvant chemo- or chemoradiotherapy. METHODS Between 2000 and 2010...

OBJECTIVE The present study is based on the cytologic evaluation of bronchial brushings for the diagnosis of non neoplastic and neoplastic bronchopulmonary lesions and relation of the cytologic findings with clinical diagnosis and histopathologic examination wherever possible. MATERIAL AND METHOD 35 symptomatic patients were selected on whom bronchoscopy was done. Bronchial brushing was perfo...

Morphological changes in lung tissue of heterotopic heart-lung transplants have been studied 28 days following transplantation in 20 rats. Lung tissue showed disperse haemorrhagic necrosis often sparing bronchi and branches of pulmonary artery and conspicuous accumulation of bronchial secretion. Partial disappearance of cardiac muscle cells from the walls of pulmonary veins has been ascribed to...

Catamenial hemoptysis is a rare condition, characterized by recurrent hemoptysis associated with the presence of intrapulmonary or endobronchial endometrial tissue. Therapeutic strategies proposed for intrapulmonary endometriosis with catamenial hemoptysis consist of medical treatments and surgery. Bronchial artery embolization is a well-established modality in the management of massive or recu...
