Contemporary assessment of laryngotracheal trauma
Bhojani, RA; Rosenbaum, DH; Dikmen, E; Paul, M; Atkins, BZ; Zonies, D; DiMaio, JM (Mosby-Elsevier, 2005)Objectives: Laryngotracheal trauma is a rare and potentially deadly spectrum of injuries. We sought to characterize the contemporary mechanisms, diagnostic modalities, and outcomes common in laryngotracheal trauma today. ... -
Detection of telomerase activity in bronchial lavage as an adjunct to cytological diagnosis in lung cancer
Objective: Definitive diagnosis of lung cancer with conventional methods may sometimes be difficult in clinical practice. Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein DNA polymerase that maintains the telomeric region of chromosomes ... -
Diagnostic implications of telomerase activity in pleural effusions
Dikmen, G; Dikmen, E; Kara, M; Sahin, E; Dogan, P; Ozdemir, N (European Respiratory Soc Journals Ltd, 2003)The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of telomerase activity for discrimination of malignant and benign pleural effusions.

Methods: We examined the data charts of patients ... -
Prognostic implications of microscopic proximal bronchial extension in non-small cell lung cancer
Background. The loss of approximately one third of early stage lung cancer patients undergoing complete resection by the end of 5 years implies the existence of unknown or undetected factors at the time of operation. We ... -

Routine computed tomography screening of the chest in high-risk cardiac transplant recipients may improve survival
Rosenbaum, DH; Bhojani, RA; Dikmen, E; Kaiser, PA; Paul, MC; Wait, MA (Elsevier Science Inc, 2005)Background: Multiple studies have demonstrated an increased incidence of lung cancer in the heart transplant population. We reviewed our cardiac transplantation experience with respect to the development of bronchogenic ... -
An uncommon soft tissue tumour of the chest wall: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a slow-growing tumour with propensity for local recurrence. We report herein a case of a 36-year-old man, who presented with a huge, recurrent tumour arising from the left upper anterior ... -
Unilateral hyperhydrosis in Pourfour du Petit syndrome
