Fulminant fatal bacteremic pneumonia due to Aeromonas hydrophila in a non-immunocompromised woman.

2011-07-02T08:33:08Z

A 75-year-old woman became ill suddenly with pneumonia two weeks after operation for colon cancer. Despite intensive support measures in the intensive care unit she died six hours after admission and 12 hours after her first symptom. Autopsy showed necrotizing pneumonia. Aeromonas hydrophila was isolated from a blood culture taken at admission and from the lung at autopsy. In patients who develop ...

Amrubicin at a lower-dose with routine prophylactic use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor for relapsed small-cell lung cancer.

2011-07-02T08:35:27Z

Recent reports have suggested the efficacy of amrubicin (AMR) for relapsed small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, doses of AMR in these reports were 40 mg/m(2) or 45 mg/m(2), and severe and frequent myelosuppression were observed. Such side effects are occasionally intolerable, as serious myelosuppression may induce fatal infections. To overcome this clinical problem, we investigated whether 35 m...

Therapeutic effect of direct hemoperfusion with a polymyxin B-immobilized fiber column in the treatment of HIV-negative severe pneumocystis pneumonia.

2011-07-02T08:35:27Z

Direct hemoperfusion with a polymyxin B-immobilized fiber column (PMX-DHP) has been shown to improve oxygenation in cases of diffuse alveolar damage, but little is known about its effectiveness in treating pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in HIV-negative immunosuppressed patients.

[Four cases of interstitial pneumonia associated with amyopathic dermatomyositis characterized by the anti-CADM-140 antibody].

2011-07-02T08:33:08Z

Clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) is a subgroup of dermatomyositis that manifests with characteristic cutaneous lesions and mild or no muscle involvement. It is known that rapidly progressive interstitial pneumonia with a poor prognosis can occur in patients with CADM. The anti-CADM-140 antibody is thought to be useful as a specific serological marker for CADM. We encountered 4 patients...

Non-invasive ventilation in severe asthma attack, its possibilities and problems.

2011-07-02T08:33:08Z

Asthma attack is characterized by episodic attacks of cough, dyspnea and wheeze occurring due to bronchoconstriction, airway hyperresponsiveness and mucous hypersecretion. Although nationwide clinical guidelines have been published to establish the standard care of asthma, choices in the treatment of fatal asthma attacks remain of clinical significance. Especially, in a severe asthma attack, despi...

Erlotinib after gefitinib failure in relapsed non-small cell lung cancer: Clinical benefit with optimal patient selection.

2011-07-02T08:33:08Z

BACKGROUND: Recent reports have suggested that erlotinib therapy after gefitinib failure requires optimal patient selection to obtain clinical benefits in relapsed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, insufficient evidence exists to determine which clinical factors best identify patients who benefit from erlotinib therapy. METHODS: One hundred twenty-five patients with relapsed NSCLC who h...

Occult adenocarcinoma of the lung mimicking rapid progression of asbestosis.

2011-07-02T08:33:08Z

We herein present an autopsy case of occult lung adenocarcinoma that masqueraded as rapid progression of preexisting asbestosis. A 66-year-old man with an initial diagnosis of asbestosis experienced progressive dyspnea for over four years, and eventually died of respiratory failure. A series of chest computed tomography scans showed progression of extensive fibrosis from the right lower lobe to th...

Unilateral re-expansion pulmonary edema following treatment of pneumothorax with exceptionally massive sputum production, followed by circulatory collapse.

2011-07-02T08:35:27Z

A case of a 61-year-old man who developed ipsilateral re-expansion pulmonary edema after pleural drainage for a right pneumothorax is described. The patient's chest x-ray revealed a totally collapsed right lung. After insertion of a chest drainage tube, he began to produce a moderate amount of serous, yellowish sputum.

Surgical treatment of local recurrence after stereotactic body radiotherapy for primary and metastatic lung cancers.

2011-07-02T08:33:08Z

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has been proposed as an alternative to surgery for the treatment of lung cancer. The treatment of local recurrence that occurs after SBRT has not been reported. We present surgical outcomes for local recurrence following SBRT for primary and metastatic lung cancers.

Complex mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor gene in non-small cell lung cancer.

2011-07-02T08:35:27Z

Mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene can predict the efficacy of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Different mutations have been shown to co-occur in a single tumor. However, the frequency of these so-called "complex mutations" and the efficacy of gefitinib in treating patients with these mutations are unclear.

Frequency of EGFR and KRAS mutations in Japanese patients with lung adenocarcinoma with features of the mucinous subtype of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma.

2011-07-02T08:35:27Z

Adenocarcinoma of the lung, especially bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) and adenocarcinoma with BAC features (AWBF), is potentially sensitive to epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs); however, the efficacy seems to differ between the histologic subtypes. Mucinous BAC and AWBF (MBAC/AWBF) are not particularly responsive to EGFR-TKIs compared with nonmucinous BAC/...

A 78-year-old man had non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the left upper lobe (squamous cell carcinoma, cT1N0M0). He preferred less invasive treatment and undertook stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT)[48 Gy/4 Fr] because his forced expiratory volume in 1 second percent (FEV1.0%) was 53.50%. The therapeutic effect was partial response and the adverse reaction was dermatitis (grade 1). Seven months af...

Microbial culture of lung specimens from 569 autopsied cases from 1986 to 1989 revealed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in 28 cases, which were subsequently analyzed clinicopathologically. The number of MRSA positive cases has markedly increased in recent years (2 cases in 1986, 2 in 1987, 6 in 1988, 18 in 1989). The most frequent underlying disease was neoplasm, which was seen ...

[Bronchiectasis with normal paranasal sinus roentgenogram].

2011-07-02T08:43:36Z

Bronchiectasis has come to be considered as a type of sinobronchial syndrome in Japan, but there exist some cases without chronic sinusitis. We studied the clinical features of 14 cases of bronchiectasis with definitely normal paranasal sinus roentgenogram, diagnosed during the past ten years. There were eleven middle-aged women and three men. Ten patients (71%) complained of hemoptysis, one (7%) ...

[A case of desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) suggesting a relationship to chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP)].

2011-07-02T08:43:36Z

A 43-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of cough and dyspnea. His chest X-ray showed bilateral basal infiltrative shadows. The increased eosinophils in BAL suggested chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP), whereas the TBLB specimens showed findings compatible with desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP). The open lung biopsy specimens showed typical findings of DIP with a peripheral...

A 43-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of fever and dyspnea. She had facial rash, hair-loss, arthralgia, urinary casts, thrombocytopenia, lymphocytopenia, and deposits of IgG, IgM, C3 in the epidermis. SLE was diagnosed. She also had severe dyspnea, which gradually progressed. In spite of steroid pulse therapy and cyclophosphamide, she eventually died about two months after admis...

[A probable case of adult Williams-Campbell syndrome incidentally detected by an episode of atypical mycobacterial infection].

2011-07-02T08:44:27Z

A 39-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of dry cough. She had been quite well until 1 month before admission. She had no history of chronic sinusitis. Chest X-ray film showed a thin-walled cavity in the superior segment of the left lower lobe of the lung. Curettage biopsy of the cavity wall revealed granulomatous change. Mycobacterium intracellulare-avium complex was identified on...

[A clinical study of terminal pneumonia].

2011-07-02T08:44:27Z

A total of 210 cases of terminal pneumonia were studied out of 1183 autopsied cases at Tenri Yorozu Hospital from 1978 to 1985. Underlying diseases included lung cancer (77 patients), gastric cancer (26 patients), leukemia (24 patients). There was no statistical significance between the time from death until autopsy and the bacterial examination of autopsied lung and blood. P. aeruginosa and Klebs...
