TL;DR: A risk stratification approach should be used for future lung cancer low-dose CT programmes and patients should be provided with information on the benefits and harms of screening to ensure that patients receive the most appropriate treatment.

TL;DR: Findings from LUSI are in line with those from other trials, including NLST, that suggest a stronger reduction of lung cancer mortality after LDCT screening among women as compared to men, and heterogeneity could be the result of different relative counts of lung tumor subtypes occurring in men and women.

Pneumonia in Febrile Neutropenic Patients and in Bone Marrow and Blood Stem-Cell Transplant Recipients: Use of High-Resolution Computed Tomography
Claus P. Heussel,Hans-Ulrich Kauczor,G. Heussel,B. Fischer,Markus Begrich,Peter Mildenberger,Manfred Thelen +6 more
TL;DR: The high frequency of inflammatory pulmonary disease after a suspicious HRCT scan proves that pneumonia is not excluded by a normal chest roentgenogram, given the significantly longer duration of febrile episodes in transplant recipients.

Assessment of lung volumes using helical CT at inspiration and expiration: comparison with pulmonary function tests.
TL;DR: Inspiratory and expiratory helical CT show high correlation with static lung volumes, and the 3D technique (-1024 to -200 H) is recommended for absolute estimation of lung volumes.

Diagnosis of invasive fungal infections in hematology and oncology--guidelines of the Infectious Diseases Working Party (AGIHO) of the German Society of Hematology and Oncology (DGHO).
Markus Ruhnke,Angelika Böhme,Dieter Buchheidt,K. Donhuijsen,Hermann Einsele,R. Enzensberger,A. Glasmacher,H. Gumbel,Claus P. Heussel,Meinolf Karthaus,E. Lambrecht,Thomas Südhoff,H. Szelényi +12 more
TL;DR: The AGIHO presents recommendations for the diagnosis of invasive fungal infections with risk-adapted screening concepts for the neutropenic and febrile episodes of patients with hemato-oncological disorders.
