[Spanish scientific production in diagnostic and therapeutic research area of respiratory system in international journals from 1990 to 2002].

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study were: to analyze the spanish production in diagnostic and therapeutics research area of respiratory system in international journals from 1990 to 2002. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Papers published in diagnostic and therapeutics area of respiratory system during this period of time were selected by the PUBMED system. We delimited the production with key words: respiratory system and the one that is used by the diagnostic and therapeutics research area. RESULTS: We obtain a total of 67 document published in international journals by spanish authors. The scientific production in the diagnostic and therapeutics area have stabilized in this 12 years period. The distribution of articles by the institutional affiliation and province of authors also showed a wide dispersion: Barcelona and Clinic and Provincial Hospital of Barcelona were responsible for 43.1% and 23.8% of all the production. Bronchoalveolar lavage and the use of telescopic catheter were the type of diagnostic and therapeutic procedure more productive. CONCLUSIONS: The scientific production in the diagnostic and therapeutics area of respiratory system have stabilized in this 12 years period, this evidence contrast with the high growth detected in respiratory system in general.

[Bronchiolitis obliterans with idiopathic organizing pneumonia. Usefulness and yield of diagnostic techniques and procedures in a series of 20 patients].

OBJECTIVE: To assess retrospectively the utility and the profitableness of the diagnostic procedures and techniques in patients with idiopathic BOOP. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied epidemiological features, clinical manifestations, respiratory function tests, chest radiology, and other diagnostic procedures and techniques, as well as the evolution and the mortality rates in patients with histological diagnosis of idiopathic BOOP during the period 1992-1999. RESULTS: 20 patients (55% F, 45% M). Age: 64 +/- 15 years old, 50% smokers. The mean period elapsed since the beginning of the symptoms and the time of diagnosis was 51 +/- 30 days. The clinical presentation is of a subacute influenza-like illness, with fever, cough, dyspnea and crackles. The more common abnormalities were. WBC (10,949 +/- 2,6429 mm3, ESR 85 +/- 86 UI/L, LDH 309 +/- 86 UI/L. Arterial blood gas: PaO2 64 +/- 9, PaCO2 35 +/- 3 mmHg. Pulmonary function tests: VCF 81 +/- 25%, FEV1/VCF 78 +/- 17%, TLCO 74 +/- 9%, TLCO sb 77 +/- 4%. Radiological evaluation: bilateral multiple patchy alveolar opacities 75%), solitary focal lesion (15%) and interstitial opacities (10%). The bronchoscopy and BAL 10/20 (50%). Transbronchial biopsy 12/20 wit diagnosis (60%). The video assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy 1/20 (5%) and open lung biopsy 7/20 (35%). Recurrences 8/20 (40%). Mortality rate 3/20 (15%). CONCLUSIONS: The idiopathic BOOP is a benign entity clinic inespecific, associated to hypoxemia and bilateral alveolar opacities. The transbronchial biopsy is a diagnostic procedure alternative to the open lung biopsy, in a compatible clínico-radiological context. The response to treatment is acceptable although it presents frequent exacerbations, and low mortality rate.

[Localized tracheobronchial amyloidosis: a case report and review of the literature].

Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is the most common form of localized bronchopulmonary amyloidoses, although its diagnosis is not very frequent in daily practice. We present a case of localized tracheobronchial amyloidosis presented as hemoptysis. The diagnosis and treatment were performed with rigid bronchoscopy and resection with an Nd-YAG laser.

[Bilateral pleural effusion and rheumatoid arthritis. Diagnostic value of pleural fluid cytology].

We present a 69 years old male patient diagnosed of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with signs of pleuropulmonar disease. The diagnose of RA was done of 49 years and since then treated with non steroid antiinflammatory drugs and during the acute phases of RA with steroid drugs. The pleural effusions showed an exudate with pseudochilothorax criteria with acid pH acid low glucose concentrations. The cytological study of the effusion demonstrated the presence of characteristic mononuclear cells.

[Diffuse lung hemorrhage and necrotizing glomerulonephritis in a case of Wegener's granulomatosis. Diagnostic and therapeutic approach].

We present the case of a 59 years old male with Wegener's Granulomatosis with uncommon manifestations such as diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage and acute renal failure due to necrotizing glomerulonephritis. Neutrophil anticytoplasmic antibodies determination was negative. Conventional and high resolution thoracic computed tomography showed cavitated lung nodules with small peripheral vessels. These lesions, that are characteristic of this type of vasculitis, were not appreciated on the routine chest roetgenogram. Definitive diagnosis was made by the histological study of open lung and renal biopsies. Favourable response to corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs and hemodialysis was obtained. Diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage is an uncommon manifestation of Wegener's Granulomatosis, and must be considered as a vital emergency that justify the use of aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic methods.

[Mediastinal leiomyosarcoma].

Primary mediastinal leiomyosarcomas are malignant sarcomas with unknown etiology not deriving from the smooth muscle fiber of the esophagus, trachea or main vessels. Very few cases have been reported in the literature and, although they are clinically unspecific, their histology is unique. The case described here is a 66-year-old woman with a leiomyosarcoma localized at the medium and posterior mediastinum, clinically presented as a mediastinal emergency.
