Early detection of pneumothorax, most often via chest radiography, can help determine need for emergent clinical intervention. The ability to accurately detect and rapidly triage pneumothorax with an ...
To compare the accuracy of an AI model vs consensus thoracic radiologist interpretations in detecting any pneumothorax (incorporating both nontension and tension pneumothorax) and tension pneumothorax...
This diagnostic study was a retrospective standalone performance assessment using a data set of 1000 chest radiographs captured between June 1, 2015, and May 31, 2021. The radiographs were obtained fr...
The primary end points were the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) for the detection of pneumothorax and tension pneumothorax. The secondary end points were the sensitivit...
The final analysis included radiographs from 985 patients (mean [SD] age, 60.8 [19.0] years; 436 [44.3%] female patients), including 307 patients with nontension pneumothorax, 128 patients with tensio...
These findings suggest that the assessed AI model accurately detected pneumothorax and tension pneumothorax in this chest radiograph data set. The model's use in the clinical workflow could lead to ea...
Several hereditary disorders, with highly variable and sometimes difficult to recognize manifestations, can present with a spontaneous pneumothorax. Options to perform DNA-testing have changed rapidly...
Two patients with a history of multiple spontaneous pneumothoraxes were seen at the outpatient clinic of the department of Clinical Genetics. Based on family history and physical examination, a suspic...
A spontaneous pneumothorax may be a manifestation of an underlying hereditary disorder. With attention to clinical symptoms and family history, physicians can contribute to timely diagnosis. In many c...
Pneumothorax in neonates can be life-threatening. In neonates without respiratory distress, spontaneous pneumothorax can also develop under certain conditions....
To determine the incidence of ultrasonographic signs of pneumothorax in asymptomatic neonates using lung ultrasound as the diagnostic tool....
This was an observational prospective study conducted at the Basurto University Hospital (Bilbao, Spain) between January 2018 and December 2020. Lung ultrasound was performed during routine examinatio...
Of a total of 204 asymptomatic neonates included in the study, 21 (10.3%) presented ultrasound signs of pneumothorax (Group A), and 183 (89.7%) had a normal lung ultrasound (Group B). Lung ultrasound ...
Lung ultrasound allows precise detection of suspected small-sized air leaks that can be detected in asymptomatic neonates. The true incidence of pneumothorax in asymptomatic neonates may be substantia...
Spontaneous pneumothorax is an increasingly common clinical presentation, the management of which, until recent years, had remained unchanged for decades. A recent surge in pneumothorax research has p...
Acupuncture treatment in local areas is commonly used to treat pain or soreness; however, acupuncture around the neck or shoulder may be a risk factor for pneumothorax. Herein, we report two cases of ...
Ultrasound (US) for the detection of pneumothorax shows excellent sensitivity in the hands of skilled providers. Artificial intelligence may facilitate the movement of US for pneumothorax into the pre...
A limited training database was supplied by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of 30 patients, 15 cases with pneumothorax and 15 cases without. There were two US videos per patient, of which we...
Anatomic reconstruction with the identification of ribs and pleura was able to be accomplished on all images. On independent verification and validation against the Department of Defense testing data,...
Using learning with limited labeling techniques, pneumothorax was identified on US with an accuracy of 80%. Several potential improvements are controlling for chest wall motion and the use of longer v...
Diagnostic Tests; Level III....
Few studies have implied the incidence of diaphragmatic hernia (DH) after spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) with unknown mechanisms. The current study aimed to identify whether there is an association bet...
We selected 46,897 patients with SP (SP cohort) and 46,897 without SP (non-SP matched cohort) from the National Health Insurance Database. Patients were frequency matched according to age, sex, and in...
The results suggested there were significant associations between SP and DH, especially in the subgroup of patients with older age (aged 40-64 years: 2.61-fold in adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 95% conf...
The SP cohort had a higher incidence of DH than the non-SP matched cohort. A prospective study of indications based on the findings of the current research should be performed....
Background and Objectives: Pneumothorax implies the presence of air in the pleural space between the visceral and parietal pleura. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence, clinical char...
COVID-19 Patients may be at risk for involving with spontaneous pneumothorax. However, clinical data are lacking in this regard. In this study, we aimed to investigate the demographic, clinical, and r...
This is a retrospectivestudy conducted on COVID-19 patients with pneumothorax that had been hospitalized at hospital. l from December 2021 to March 2022. The chest computed tomography (CT) scan of all...
A total of 67 patients with COVID-19 and pneumothorax were identified. Of these, 40.7% were located in the left lung, 40.7% were in the right lung, and 18.6% were found bilaterally. The most common sy...
Our results demonstrated that those with pleural effusion or pulmonary bullae have a lower survival rate. Further studies are required to investigate the incidence and causality relation between COVID...
Limited evidence exists regarding the link between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and pneumothorax. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the occurrence rate of pneumothorax in hospitalized patients wi...
