โœฆ Synopsis

Two hundred seventy-five patients who had received bleomycin were examined for evidence of pulmonary toxicity. Twenty-six patients were diagnosed as having bleomycin pulmonary toxicity and, of these, 20 (77%) were documented as having renal dysfunction without other features recognized to be associated with the development of pulmonary toxicity. In this study renal dysfunction was a most important factor in the development of bleomycin pulmonary toxicity. As bleomycin is often administered with nephrotoxic drugs, it is suggested that renal function should be checked prior to each administration of bleomycin. It is proposed that appropriate dose modifications could significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with bleomycin administration.

Background It has been established that occupational exposure to silica dust may cause signiยฎcant impairment of pulmonary function. To compare the contribution of silicosis and emphysema to pulmonary dysfunction, radiographic signs of silicosis and emphysema in silica exposed workers were analyzed.

Background: Arguments concerning the development of the pulmonary vein, and its relationship to the embryonic venous sinus (sinus venosus) have continued for well over a century. Recently, attention has again been focused on the origin of the pulmonary vein. It has been suggested that, whereas the p
