Pseudolillia Maubeuge, 1949 (Ammonitida, Hildoceratidae) in the Lower Jurassic (Toarcian) of the NE Spain
2017
In the present paper, 147 specimens assigned to the genus Pseudolillia Maubeuge, 1949 are studied. This is a considerably high number of samples in comparison with those known in other geographical areas where they have been cited, such as northern France, the Pyrenees, the Betic Range, Morocco, Portugal, Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria. The six taxa described, P. murvillensis, P. hispanica, P. emiliana, P. donovani, Pseudolillia ? n. sp. (en García-Gómez & Rivas, 1980), and Pseudolillia ? sp., come from 22 sites in the Cantabrian and Iberian Ranges and the Isle of Majorca. Their presence in expanded sections enabled us to situate the stratigraphic position of the genus between the upper part o…
Infección pulmonar por Mycobacterium kansasii y carcinoma broncopulmonar sincrónico
2002
Aunque la asociación de tuberculosis pulmonar y carcinoma de pulmón es bien conocida en la literatura, resulta excepcional la presentación sincrónica de la infección pulmonar por micobacterias atípicas y el carcinoma broncopulmonar. Por ello, presentamos el caso de un varón de 41 años, fumador, con antecedentes de tuberculosis pulmonar en la adolescencia y hepatopatía crónica por virus B y C, que acudió a nuestra consulta externa por presentar febrícula, disfonía y pérdida de 4 kg de peso de un mes de evolución. La TC de tórax reveló una masa apical izquierda con extensión a la pared y adenopatías mediastínicas, así como un infiltrado pulmonar en LSI. La biopsia de una adenopatía supraclavi…

Cytokine Plasma Levels: Reliable Predictors for Radiation Pneumonitis?
2008
BackgroundRadiotherapy (RT) is the primary treatment modality for inoperable, locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but even with highly conformal treatment planning, radiation pneumonitis (RP) remains the most serious, dose-limiting complication. Previous clinical reports proposed that cytokine plasma levels measured during RT allow to estimate the individual risk of patients to develop RP. The identification of such cytokine risk profiles would facilitate tailoring radiotherapy to maximize treatment efficacy and to minimize radiation toxicity. However, cytokines are produced not only in normal lung tissue after irradiation, but are also over-expressed in tumour cells of NSC…
Modalités évolutives du genre bullatimorphites (Ammonitina) au Bathonien-Callovien (Jurassique moyen) en Europe occidentale
1999
Abstract The genus Bullatimorphites, (macroconchs Bullatimorphites, Kheraiceras; microconchs Bomburites, Schwandorfia, Spbaeroptycbius, Treptoceras), is characterized by an ontogenesis with three morphologic phases: serpenticone, sphaerocone and ellipticone. Within the successive populations, the relative development of these morphologies allows the defined species to be placed in an evolutive and stratigraphic lineage. The history of the genus comprises five steps: 1) emergence (Early Middle Bathonian), 2) first gradual evolution (Middle-Upper Bathonian), 3) first morphological diversification (Uppermost Bathonian), 4) second gradual evolution, 5) second morphological diversification and e…
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis : Lessons from a randomized controlled trial in children
2021
Introduction Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) in children is a severe interstitial lung disease and potentially, a chronic condition, if not treated appropriately. No evidence-based guidelines are available; in particular, the role of systemic glucocorticoid therapy is unclear. Methods The aim of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center, phase II trial in pediatric HP was to assess the outcome of HP in children after 6 months of treatment and to compare 3 months of treatment with oral prednisolone or placebo. Results After 1.5 years and the inclusion of only four children, we terminated the study prematurely. Two of the children randomized to predniso…
Knowledge Gaps and Research Priorities in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor–related Pneumonitis. An Official American Thoracic Society Research Statement
2019
Rationale: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer care but are associated with unique adverse events, including potentially life-threatening pneumonitis. The diagnosis of ICI-pneumonitis is increasing; however, the biological mechanisms, clinical and radiologic features, and the diagnosis and management have not been well defined. Objectives: To summarize evidence, identify knowledge and research gaps, and prioritize topics and propose methods for future research on ICI-pneumonitis. Methods: A multidisciplinary group of international clinical researchers reviewed available data on ICI-pneumonitis to develop and refine research questions pertaining to ICI-pneumonitis.…
Amiodarone Pneumonitis
1992
Amiodarone (Am) pneumonitis is currently a common and potentially severe adverse reaction, the accurate diagnosis of which remains difficult to establish. Objectives: To determine the contribution of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in the diagnostic workup of patients suspected of having Am pneumonitis. Methods: Diagnosis of Am pneumonitis was established on the basis of (1) development of recent symptoms and pulmonary opacities while receiving the drug, (2) exclusion of other possible causes, and (3) improvement following cessation of Am and/or steroid therapy. (4) Confirmatory changes were obtained by histopathologic examination in eight cases. BAL was performed in each patient at the time o…

RIGHT LOBAR PULMONITIS A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF LONE ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
Le Toarcien inférieur et moyen du Quercy méridional études stratigraphique, sédimentologique et paléoécologique d’après la nouvelle coupe de Caylus (…
2017
The study of a new section around Caylus (Tarn-et-Garonne) allows new biostratigraphic and sedimentological observations on the terms of passage from the Upper Pliensbachian (Formation of the Barre à Pecten) to the Toarcien (Formation de Penne) of the Quercy (France). The Schistes cartons member (Lower Toarcian, Serpentinum zone) is particularly remarkable.Four taxa of brachiopods and eleven taxa of Toarcian ammonites from the Tenuicostatum, Serpentinum and Bifrons zones, sub-zone to Sublevisoni are the subject of the following paleontological study.
