A 65-year-old woman who had undergone surgery for rectal cancer was referred to our hospital with an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a 3-cm-diameter mass with ill-defined margins in the left lower lobe and a well-defined, 1-cm-diameter, round nodule in the right upper lobe. Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) of the left lung tumor revealed metastatic adeno...

the ramifications of the portal vein in the liver of horses were studied by using corrosion casting and gross dissection. the portal vein in the horse supplies the hepatic lobes by six major branches. the right lobe is supplied by three main branches, namely the dorsal diaphragmatic, the right caudodorsal and the right intermediate branches. the left branch supplies the left lateral and medial ...

Results Of the 196 cases, sixty were wedge resections, with an average length of hospital stay (ALS) of 1.5 days. ALS for the 38 decortications was 2.5 days, for the 28 pleural biopsies was 1 day. There were 36 mechanical and talc pleurodesis for recurrent effusions, 30 of them malignant, having an ALS of 1.5 days. Two pericardial windows were performed, with an ALS of 1.5 days. Twenty-two pati...

A 19-year-old Vietnamese lady was diagnosed with culture positive, left upper lobe pulmonary tuberculosis for which medical treatment was initiated. Four months into treatment, she developed a 'rubber-band-like' stretching sensation in her left chest with wheezing and shortness of breath. Decreased respiratory excursion over the left lung was present on physical-examination. Chest-Xray revealed...

A 64-year-old man who underwent sigmoid resection for Stage 4 colon cancer had a growing nodule on the left upper lobe during follow-up. Surgical resection revealed primary pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Subsequently, a new nodule appeared in the contralateral S(1)b, for which endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) was performed for diagnosis. However, histopathologic examinatio...
