- Pneumothorax, or free air in the pleural space, is often linked to underlying lung diseases, with common causes being COPD, TB, HIV, cystic fibrosis, and smoking; secondary spontaneous pneumothorax is typically marked by symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, and cough, along with frequent persistent air leaks.
- A study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different pleurodesis agents including doxycycline, tetracycline, and minocycline on stopping air leaks and preventing pneumothorax recurrence in adults with persistent air leaks.
- Results showed that autologous blood patch pleurodesis (ABPP) had the highest success rate (94.7%), followed by doxy
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an established therapy for metastatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN). The role of PRRT as a neoadjuvant treatment prior to surgery or other local therapies is uncertain. This scoping review aimed to define the landscape of evidence available detailing the utility of PRRT in the neo-adjuvant setting, including the clinical contexts, efficacy, and levels of evidence.
