Massive bilateral chylothoraces complicating mediastinal granulomatous disease.

30 Aug 2009 Mediastinal granulomatous disease with resulting fibrosis is known to cause several serious complications, including pulmonary artery occlusion, bronchial stenosis, superior vena cava syndrome, and constrictive pericarditis. This process is ... Read more...

Asbestosis: demonstration of distinctive interstitial fibroelastosis: a pilot study.

4 Aug 2009 Asbestosis has long been defined as a diffuse interstitial "fibrotic" process, in similarity to other chronic interstitial pulmonary diseases. To address the hypothesis (which was based on morphological nuances) that the interstitial connective ... Read more...

Applicability and variability of liver stiffness measurements according to probe position.

19 Jul 2009 AIM: To investigate the liver stiffness measurement (LSM) applicability and variability with reference to three probe positions according to the region of liver biopsy. METHODS: The applicability for LSM was defined as at least 10 valid measurements ... Read more...
