Variations of pulmonary vessels: some practical implications for lung resections.

30 Aug 2009 Anatomical variations of the bronchi and lung vessels may be important obstacles during lung resection if overlooked. We designed this study to determine the frequency and types of variations of lung vessels during lung resections. In a ... Read more...

When the diagnosis is a zebra: pulmonary artery aneurysm.

30 Aug 2009 Some ailments maypresent so distinctively that the diagnosis is often unquestionable. Other cases, however, may present typically, but have atypical findings. We describe a case of a patient who presented to our institution with recurrent ... Read more...

Allogeneic human mesenchymal stem cells for treatment of E. coli endotoxin-induced acute lung injury in the ex vivo perfused human lung.

29 Aug 2009 Recent studies have suggested that bone marrow-derived multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may have therapeutic applications in multiple clinical disorders including myocardial infarction, diabetes, sepsis, and hepatic and acute renal failure. ... Read more...
