RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of thoracic body composition on outcomes after lobectomy for lung cancer. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND DATA: Preoperative identification of patients at risk for adverse outcomes permits treatment modification. The impact of body composition on lung resection outcomes has not been investigated in a multicenter setting. METHODS: A total of 958 consecutive patients undergoing lobectomy for lung cancer at 3 centers from 2014 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Muscle and adipose tissue cross-sectional area at the fifth, eighth, and tenth thoracic vertebral body was quantified. Prospectively collected outcomes from a national database were abstracted to characterize the association between sums of muscle and adipose tissue and hospital length of stay (LOS), number of any postoperative complications, and number of respiratory postoperative complications using multivariate regression. A priori determined covariates were forced expiratory volume in 1 second and diffusion capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide predicted, age, sex, body mass index, race, surgical approach, smoking status, Zubrod and American Society of Anesthesiologists scores. RESULTS: Mean patient age was 67 years, body mass index 27.4 kg/m2 and 65% had stage i disease. Sixty-three percent underwent minimally invasive lobectomy. Median LOS was 4 days and 34% of patients experienced complications. Muscle (using 30 cm2 increments) was an independent predictor of LOS (adjusted coefficient 0.972; P = 0.002), any postoperative complications (odds ratio 0.897; P = 0.007) and postoperative respiratory complications (odds ratio 0.860; P = 0.010). Sarcopenic obesity was also associated with LOS and adverse outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Body composition on preoperative chest computed tomography is an independent predictor of LOS and postoperative complications after lobectomy for lung cancer.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Cardiac tumors are uncommon in the pediatric population. When present, cardiac manifestations stem from the tumor causing inflow or outflow obstruction. While common in adults, cardiac myxomas presenting with generalized systemic illness or peripheral emboli especially with no cardiac or neurological symptoms are rare in children. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a previously healthy adolescent girl who presented with a 6-month history of constitutional symptoms and a purpuric rash with no cardiac or neurologic symptoms, found to have a cardiac myxoma. CONCLUSIONS: A vasculopathic rash in the setting of atrial myxomas has been shown be a precursor to significant morbidity and mortality. Due to the rarity of this entity, the time elapsed from onset of non-cardiac symptoms until diagnosis of a myxoma is usually prolonged with interval development of irreversible neurological sequelae and death reported in the literature. Therefore, we highlight the importance of including cardiac myxomas and paraneoplastic vasculitis early in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with a purpuric rash and systemic symptoms.

RESUMEN

Lung transplantation is the only curative treatment for end-stage lung disease, which is caused by a wide variety of pathologies and encountered in a diverse range of patients. Potential recipients, as well as donors are carefully evaluated by imaging prior to transplant for contraindications to the transplant. After transplantation, recipients are imaged in the immediate, early, intermediate, and late periods for complications that may arise and require intervention. Radiography and computed tomography are the 2 most commonly used imaging modalities used to evaluate the chest after lung transplantation.

RESUMEN

Body composition on chest CT scans encompasses a set of important imaging biomarkers. This study developed and validated a fully automated analysis pipeline for multi-vertebral level assessment of muscle and adipose tissue on routine chest CT scans. This study retrospectively trained two convolutional neural networks on 629 chest CT scans from 629 patients (55% women; mean age, 67 years ± 10 [standard deviation]) obtained between 2014 and 2017 prior to lobectomy for primary lung cancer at three institutions. A slice-selection network was developed to identify an axial image at the level of the fifth, eighth, and 10th thoracic vertebral bodies. A segmentation network (U-Net) was trained to segment muscle and adipose tissue on an axial image. Radiologist-guided manual-level selection and segmentation generated ground truth. The authors then assessed the predictive performance of their approach for cross-sectional area (CSA) (in centimeters squared) and attenuation (in Hounsfield units) on an independent test set. For the pipeline, median absolute error and intraclass correlation coefficients for both tissues were 3.6% (interquartile range, 1.3%-7.0%) and 0.959-0.998 for the CSA and 1.0 HU (interquartile range, 0.0-2.0 HU) and 0.95-0.99 for median attenuation. This study demonstrates accurate and reliable fully automated multi-vertebral level quantification and characterization of muscle and adipose tissue on routine chest CT scans.
