Transbronchial cryobiopsy for diffuse parenchymal lung disease: a state-of-the-art review of procedural techniques, current evidence, and future challenges.

abstract：:Central venous catheters (CVCs) have an important role in the management of critically ill patients. In contrast to the immediate complications after CVC insertion, the late complications were difficult to be noticed without high suspicion despite their life-threatening outcome.

abstract：:Metastatic uterine cancer is a form of systemic disease. As for other solid tumours, it is advocated by some authors that in selected patients, lung metastasectomy may play a role in long-term disease control. The practice of lung metastasectomy is however open to criticism as there is lack of convincing evidence, and...
