Abstract: ObjectiveWe retrospectively investigated the possibility that the 6-min walk test (6MWT) could predict surgical outcomes in lung cancer patients with decreased predicted postoperative (ppo) lung function.MethodsPatients were enrolled based on their preoperative spirometry: 4% for… read more here.

Abstract: Background Patients with renal impairment have altered immunity, which might cause vulnerability to specific pathogens and worsen pneumonia-related outcomes. Nonetheless, the microbiological features of pneumonia in patients with decreased renal function remain unknown. Methods Therefore,… read more here.
