Does volume perfusion computed tomography enable differentiation of metastatic and non-metastatic mediastinal lymph nodes in lung cancer patients?
Perfusion characteristics of mediastinal metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes in untreated lung cancer show considerable overlap, so that a reliable differentiation via VPCT is not possible.
Treatment at hospitals with higher GTP is associated with lower hospital mortality and FTR among geriatric patients. These findings suggest that creation of specialized services for geriatric trauma care can improve outcomes among geriatric trauma patients.
