Recurrence Pattern of Left Upper Lobectomies and Trisegmentectomies: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Open
Background: Surgical resection remains the standard treatment for early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Traditionally, lobectomy has been considered the procedure of choice; however, emerging evidence suggests that trisegmentecto…

EFFECTIVENESS OF A TECHNOLOGICAL PLATFORM TO MANAGE FRAILTY: RESULTS FROM THE POSITIVE AND INTEGRACAM STUDIES Open
Technologies can assist in managing frailty through home monitoring and intervention systems, though evidence of their clinical benefit is lacking. Our study had two components. A) A two-arm (Intervention vs. Control) RCT named POSITIVE (N…

Presurgical invasive mediastinal staging in lung cancer, unexpected N2 and long-term survival: a registry-based study with data from the Spanish group for video-assisted thoracic surgery Open
Invasive staging recommended by guidelines could be reduced with an appropriate selection in mediastinal CT- and PET-negative patients with risk factors for unexpected pN2, because rates of pN2 and survival did not worsen without invasive …

Is histological confirmation necessary to avoid futile resections? Comparative of 4 university hospitals Open
OBJECTIVES There is no consensus in the literature on preoperative histological analysis for lung cancer. The objective of this study was to assess 4 diagnostic models used in different hospitals with differing practices regarding preopera…

Analgesic Efficacy and Safety of Intrathecal Morphine or Intercostal Levobupivacaine in Lung Cancer Patients after Major Lung Resection Surgery by Videothoracoscopy: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial Open
Background: Lung resection using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) improves surgical accuracy and postoperative recovery. Unfortunately, moderate-to-severe acute postoperative pain is still inherent to the procedure, and a techni…

Impact of a short-term nitrate and citrulline co-supplementation on sport performance in elite rowers: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial Open
Purpose Citrulline (CIT) and beetroot extract (BR) have separately shown benefits in rowing performance-related outcomes. However, effects of combined supplementation remain to be elucidated. The main purpose of this research was to study …

An exploratory, large-scale study of pain and quality of life outcomes in cancer patients with moderate or severe pain, and variables predicting improvement Open
In the four cancer types studied, pain and QoL outcomes improved considerably after 3 months of usual care. Improvements in pain made a substantial contribution to QoL gains whilst the presence of anxiety and depression and poor baseline p…
