Johnny Depp Has a New Outlook on Life
Johnny Depp is intensely personal, so it's always a special treat when we get to hear him open up. He recently chatted with EW and melted our hearts talking about the scare back in March when his daughter Lily-Rose got very sick after an accident at their farm. Here's more:
"To say it was the darkest moment, that's nothing. It doesn't come close to describing it. Words are so small. But knowing that those people, Tim and the crew, shut down and stood by and waited ... I didn't know if I was coming back. I remember talking with Tim, saying, `Maybe you need to recast.' Now every single millisecond is a mini-celebration. Every time we get to breathe in and exhale is a huge victory. She pulled through beautifully, perfectly, with no lasting anything. Once we were given the all-clear, I had to dive back into the work. I had to get back in there for Tim."
We couldn't be happier for Johnny that Lily-Rose pulled through and made a full recovery, and we're selfishly glad that he was able to finish his work on Sweeney Todd. You can't really go wrong with Johnny and Tim working together.

I have a project that uses the Google AdMob Ads SDK. I'm trying to show a few ads on the homepage along with some other buttons, some of which are below the screen.
I've used a UIScrollView and added a few GADBannerViews from DFP inside as well the buttons. The ads load just fine and I can click on the ads and buttons with no problem.
The problem is when I try to scroll the scroll view. If I start touching on the ad view, the scroll view will not scroll. If I start touching anywhere else, like a button or a blank space, the scroll view scrolls properly. It seems that the ad is somehow taking control of the touch events.
I've tried all sorts of fixes such as creating a transparent UIView above the ads, which didn't work because the taps would not register.
I've tried looping through the subviews of the GADBannerView but all the subviews' classes seem proprietary to AdMob or inaccessible. (GADWebView, _UIWebViewScrollView)
I even tried adding the ad to a UITableView to see if it would scroll there, but it did not work either.
My view controller class is quite large so if you need me to post some code, I can create a sample app to demonstrate the problem. A workaround for now is to create UIWebViews with the HTML ad code inside instead of using the GADBannerView. I've tested this and it works, but I really don't want to lose the functionality of the native method.
Is there any way to scroll a UIScrollView if you start touching on the GADBannerView and allow the ad to remain clickable?

A Brown Deer police officer noticed a disabled school bus on 60th and Bradley streets at 7:21 a.m. Tuesday.

The North Shore Fire Department responded as six students on the school bus complained of injuries. The students were treated by the North Shore Fire Department and transported to area hospitals with minor injuries.
Brown Deer officers have a suspect vehicle in custody and are conducting a follow-up investigation.

52 year old man | Santa Monica, CA, USA | Seeking women 30-50 within 100 miles
Hmm, I wonder what this guy's about?
I'm friendly, easygoing and occasionally artistically intense. I personally prefer this as a way to meet people outside of my usual circle. I've never been much of a bar guy and this is certainly better than pretending to be interested while a drunk girl tells a "totally cute story" about her cat. I'm having fun and finding success at all the things people move to L.A. to do. I wasn't born or raised here and now it's hard to say if I'm more Californian or Midwest small town boy. Let's just call it 50-50. I dislike injustice. I'm skilled at manifesting my best thoughts into reality. I have a pretty good head on fairly broad shoulders. I am 6' 2" and my life plan is to stay that way. I'm politically liberal. Friends have described as an alpha male. I'm not really sure what that means. My character traits cause some to view me as "the leader of the pack" type. That's not really the case. My superpower is that I just don't care about the pack or who leads it. I go my own way and like to be fascinated by the moments. I like people and try to focus on the miracles that happen every day. I once discovered a magic word and success began to happen. I am confident because I've earned it. I like smart, sexy women. Of course, I'd like our chemistry to be hot and bed-breakable but maybe we'll just end up friends. Who can know until we meet? I like laughter and enter this arena with only the expectation of a new adventure. I know with busy schedules and multiple dating opportunities everyone's time is limited and valuable. Still, I prefer to actually meet as opposed to months long email exchanges.
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Performing arts , Political interests
Basketball, Other types of exercise, Running, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.

Harmony Lives
I started Harmony lives when I was 16, so I know the beginning is a bit off (I wrote the first few chapters as a joke for my own amusement), but anyway, it was a blast to write. Thank you for all of the comments!
What happens after Harmony Lives for the characters:
Draco becomes a medi-wizard, and Harmony becomes a dragon specialist. They have four kids.
-The twins: Scorpio (Scori) and Stella.
-Leo comes two years later and is sneaky like his father
-Ara is the oppsie baby three years after Leo.

Drexel set a single season school record for wins this season during a 29-7 campaign that the Dragons couldn't determine a single Most Valuable Player so they split the award.
Sophomore point guard Frantz Massenat and senior forward Samme Givens were named the Dragons Co-MVPs.
Massenat was a first-team all-Colonial Athletic Associations choice after averaging a team-high 13.7 points. He also led the CAA in both assists (4.8 per game) and three-point field goal percentage (.450).
Givens finished as only the third Drexel player to record more than 1,000 career points and 1,000 rebounds.

Recent Makawao reviews
"This was by far the best place we stayed at during our recent trip to Hawaii. That included three hotels in Waikiki, and two places on the Big Island. If I have ever dreamed about a place to go to relax, retire permanently , or even a little slice of heaven this is it. We knew it would be good when we drove in after following very well written directions and found our names written on a chalkboard at the front door. From there the discovery of this well-thought out cottage kept us saying "Oh wow!" There's a nice jacuzzi tub when you enter, on a enclosed patio with a reading area and a breakfast table. The living space includes a very comfortable bed and amazing sofa table in the TV area. The kitchen is well equipped, and has a few nibbles to keep you from starving. The best part of all is the bathroom, with a shower room that is covered is green tiles - with live orchids and a skylight. We couldn't say enough positive things about our experience here, would never stay anywhere else in Maui (perhaps except Hana because the trip to get there is so taxing) after staying here. We're afraid to write too good a review because others may book our spot the next time we want to go. If you are interested in this property then look no further, you won't find anything better."Guest: Aussie Boys Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 31, 2014View listing
"Very clean and well maintained place with a well appointed kitchen, nice deck with a large gas grill and a great view of the sunset and the coast down below. This house sits in a quiet neighborhood away from traffic, but still fairly close to Haleakala National Park, shopping, the airport and beaches."Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 10, 2015View listing
"just a note to say that Aloha Cottage exceeded our expectations! We were very happy with it, especially the privacy, peacefulness and thought that went into this place. Thanks for making everything run smoothly"Guest: Teresa Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: April 1, 2015View listing
"I have absolutely no complaints regarding Peace of Maui. Given the affordable price, my experience here actually exceeded my expectations. The owner, Tammi, and her husband Miko are friendly, accommodating, helpful, and fun to be around. Peace of Maui is sort of a cross between a bed and breakfast and a hostel. You and your party will have a private bedroom, but you share with other guests the bathrooms, showers, living room, kitchen and outdoor patio area. The showers are stocked with soap and extra shampoo, the living room is stocked with an endless array of books and brochures about Maui, the kitchen is stocked with dishes, fruit, and breakfast foods, and the patio sports a grill for anyone to use. Each guest also has a designated shelf space and refrigerator space in the kitchen to keep their own food. This makes it easy to eat in during your stay. The community living spaces allow guests to meet in a relaxed environment and share information or experiences with one another. The land that the main building and couple other separate guest houses is on is a couple acres and has a variety of fruit trees. The kitchen is restocked often with fresh fruit from these trees, and you can also pick one off the tree for yourself. Items such as coolers, beach mats and chairs, snorkel gear, etc is available for guests to borrow during their stay. The owner and her family live on the 2nd floor of the building, above the bed and breakfast, so it is easy to cross paths with them should you have a question or need anything. I cannot say enough good things about Tammi and Miko! It is clear that they love and take great pride in Peace of Maui by their hard work, the cleanliness of the place, and their willingness to go out of their way to make sure their guests have a positive experience."Guest: Alison B.

Well with the new consoles dated(sort of) and priced I suspect a few people have probably pre-ordered their next console. Which makes me curious about what games people are planning on picking up with their new console, thats if everything goes smoothly and there are no delays. For me I'm going with:
- Battlefield 4
- Assassin's Creed 4
- Killzone: Shadow Fall
- WatchDogs
- Destiny

The commission said the names selected at today's meeting in Tacoma keep the tradition of giving ferries regional tribal names.
Among the names that didn't float were Ivar Haglund and four other tribal names: Cowlitz, Hoquiam, Muckleshoot and Sammamish.
The late Haglund was founder of the Ivar's seafood restaurant chain.
The first of the 144-car ferries under construction will be named Tokitae, a greeting meaning "nice day, pretty colors." It's also the name of a Washington orca better known as Lolita at the Miami Sequarium.
Samish is a tribal word meaning "giving people."

Packers Say Goodbye to Rison
Published: March 26, 1997
Wide receiver ANDRE RISON, who scored the first touchdown of this past Super Bowl on a pass from BRETT FAVRE, had his contract terminated by the Green Bay Packers yesterday. General Manager RON WOLF, announcing the decision, said the team's receiver corps doesn't have room for the eight-year veteran as a starter. ''The feeling here is that Andre is a starter,'' Wolf said, ''and with the situation we presently are in, he wouldn't be a starter.'' (AP)

"The card turned out great. I think if there were better directions with the layout and design options included in the details of the product, it would be better.:)"
"The quality is impressive! Colors and design are just like the picture. The samples were sent in a very timely manner, and were exactly as the finished product. I am very satisfied. Thank You."
"These went great with our "we do" invitations in khaki. At first, we weren't sure about the "will you?" which can't be changed - but eventually, it grew on us. Similar to the invitations, we submitted a design request for a few tweaks which was completed quickly - and correct on the first round! Shipping was right on time! I did notice that the khaki colors were slightly off between the invitations and the rsvp cards, but it was not too noticeable."
"My response cards were very simple but look gorgeous just as my invitations do. I had them remove the entree portion on the response cards as it wasn't needed. Very happy with everything!"
"These RSVPs are perfect and match so nice with the Togetherness In Love invites. Sturdy and beautiful and attractive design."

Artist lets his fans choose album cover art.
Kennedy Family Matriarch Gives Taylor a Thumbs Up
Robert Kennedy's widow is all in favor of her 18-year-old grandson marrying the country star.
In her love life, Taylor Swift has the approval of Robert F. Kennedy's widow.
Now, while nice, that might seem completely random that JFK's sister-in-law has given Taylor a thumbs up—except that Ethel Kennedy happens to be Taylor's boyfriend's grandmother.
The Boston Herald asked Mrs. Kennedy if she thought Taylor and her 18-year-old grandson, Conor, might be getting married.
"I hope so!" she replied.
Asked if Taylor bought a place near the Kennedy compound, Ethel Kennedy gave the same reply: "I hope so!"

The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
Clubs such as the Reds, who have insulted their fans by managing their team including the minor league system so poorly that the fans cannot remember the Reds last winning season, should not suggest that it is up to the fans (ticket sales) to determine the payroll. For once, I believe the fans should say, "enough, put a team on the field or at least show signs of some actual building of a team through intelligent acquisitions and holding onto actual prospects and then we will buy tickets." It doesn't pay to threaten intelligent baseball people that can see how poorly this organization has been handled. Enough is enough; don't insult my intelligence please (Walt, I'm looking at you)!
But I think that Rolen was brought in not because of "leadership skills", but because he plays the game the right way. That was something that the team has been missing since Larkin left. Someone who who not just plays hard, but plays smart.
Having just one guy on the field who is a true professional provides far more "leadership" than someone who is great in the clubhouse. I think that Rolen can be very useful in that way, especially in regards to Bruce.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." -- Albert Einstein
I know we love to ring our hands around here, but while I don't agree with every step taken, I firmly believe Castellini and Co. are trying to put together championship baseball back on the field. It's going slower than I had hoped, but I won't make Castellini bear the burden of the six years Lindner ran the club like it was an insurance company. It hasn't been perfect, but I understand what they're trying to accomplish, and I clearly remember the last winning season.
In the same way that a baseball season never really begins, it never really ends either. - Lonnie Wheeler, "Bleachers, A Summer in Wrigley Field"

That's my point. Walt's comment should have been kept to himself IMHO.

NBA Power Rankings: After the Heat it gets interesting
Mar 11, 2013, 4:36 PM EDT
Going to be an interesting week out West — Thunder and Spurs on Monday, while the Grizzlies play the Clippers and Nuggets this week. Those games don't foreshadow playoff outcomes as much as hint at seedings — if Denver can get home court in the first round whoever has to face them is in trouble.…

Mar 11, 2013, 10:09 AM EDT
LOS ANGELES — There was a lot of frustration in the Pistons locker room after the Los Angeles Clippers ran them out of the building on Sunday night (a 129-97 Los Angeles win). They aren't the first team to be fodder for a Lob City highlight show, but in a good sign for the long…

Three Stars of the Night: DeAndre's dunk above all else
Mar 11, 2013, 3:13 AM EDT
There are great all-around performances, and then there are singular plays which rise above all else to define a day of NBA basketball. DeAndre Jordan's dunk over Brandon Knight falls into the latter category, and (spoiler alert) it earns him our top spot in the nightly rankings. Third Star: Dwight Howard (16 points, 21 rebounds,…
Clippers try to jump-start defense for playoff run. Hapless Pistons help out.
Mar 11, 2013, 1:06 AM EDT
LOS ANGELES — Since the start of the season there have been two questions that seem to define just how far the Clippers can go: 1) How good is DeAndre Jordan playing at the five? 2) How good is the Clippers defense? The answer to both of those questions of late was "not good." Which…
DeAndre Jordan flat out destroys Brandon Knight (VIDEO)

DeAndre Jordan would like you to witness his entrant in the Dunk of the Year contest. It's a good one. First off, that is a fantastic alley-oop pass from Chris Paul, he anticipated this really well. Brandon Knight did not, and so he ends up the unwitting guy just getting destroyed. I was at the…

NBA Power Rankings: It's Miami then everyone else
Mar 4, 2013, 3:34 PM EDT

5 things to know after Giants beat Redskins 20-6 - 0 Comments
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — After standing on the field in a drenching rain for more than three hours at MetLife Stadium, Tom Coughlin and Mike Shanahan met at midfield and wished each other well.
It was the same thing the two 60-something head coaches had done twice a year for the past four years when the Washington Redskins played the New York Giants.
When they did it Sunday after the Giants' 20-6 victory, it was different. It was the last time.

Article: A case of empyema and a posterior mediastinal abscess after an iliopsoas abscess secondary to Crohn's disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dear Editor:An iliopsoas abscess (IPA) is a relatively uncommon condition which indicates the status of retroperitoneal collection of pus involving the iliopsoas compartment. IPA sometimes arises following the direct expansion of adjacent infectious diseases, but there have been no previous reports in the English literature of an IPA that progressed to the thoracic cavity. We herein report a case of IPA that progressed to empyema and a posterior mediastinal abscess.Case reportA 64-year-old male with Crohn's disease complained of general fatigue and a fever lasting for two days. After he was diagnosed as having Crohn's disease 29 years previously, he received abdominal surgery several times due to Crohn's disease, such as an ileocecal resection, sigmoidectomy and a partial resection of the small intestine. During this period, he developed a chronic ileocutaneous fistula despite the treatment with several drugs, including infliximab, adalimumab and methalazine.

Article: A survey about further work-up for cases with positive sputum cytology during lung cancer mass screening in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan: a retrospective analysis about quality assurance of lung cancer screening[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In cancer screening programs, performing appropriate further work-up is essential. In order to elucidate whether the further work-up for the subjects with positive screening results by sputum cytology was performed appropriately, the present study was conducted as the first large-scale thorough survey in Japan. All of the lung cancer screening records from 2007 to 2012 in Ishikawa Prefecture were reviewed. Additional investigations about the further work-up were performed. In total, 2 234 984 people were invited to undergo lung cancer screening, and 494 424 people participated in the screening. Of these, 25 264 people underwent sputum cytology, and 68 positive cases were identified. Three of these 68 cases did not undergo further work-up, and another three cases had already been diagnosed to have lung cancer. Forty-five of the remaining 62 cases did not have suspicious chest shadows, and bronchoscopic examinations were performed in 36 cases. Seventeen of these 36 cases were diagnosed as having cancer, whereas none of the nine cases who did not receive the examination was diagnosed (P = 0.038). A bronchoscopic examination was not performed due to other medical conditions in three cases, due to the patient's refusal in another three cases and in the remaining three cases, the reasons were unknown. The participation rate for further work-up was very high. However, there are some issues to be resolved regarding the transmission of information. With our new registered hospital system, the quality assurance of our screening program will be improved. © The Author 2015. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.

Article: Successful Treatment of Bronchial Fistula after Pulmonary Lobectomy by Endobronchial Embolization Using an Endobronchial Watanabe Spigot[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A bronchial fistula is one of the most serious complications that can occur following pulmonary lobectomy. We herein report a case of bronchial fistula that was successfully treated by endobronchial embolization using an Endobronchial Watanabe Spigot (EWS). A 72-year-old male underwent right lower lobectomy of the lung with nodal dissection for a pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma. A bronchial fistula developed 53 days after surgery. Tube drainage was performed, and air leakage was apparent. Under endoscopic observation, intrathoracic injection of indigo carmine revealed that a fistula existed at the peripheral site of the B(2)ai bronchus. After one EWS (small) was inserted into the B(2)a bronchus tightly using a bronchoscope, the air leakage was stopped. Pleurodesis was further carried out, the thoracostomy tube was subsequently removed, and the patient was discharged. Endobronchial embolization using an EWS is an option for the treatment of a bronchial fistula after pulmonary resection.01/2015; 2015:1-3. DOI:10.1155/2015/425694
Article: Recurrence and Metastasis of Lung Cancer Demonstrate Decreased Diffusion on Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is reported to be useful for detecting malignant lesions. The purpose of this study is to clarify characteristics of imaging, detection rate and sensitivity of DWI for recurrence or metastasis of lung cancer. Methods: A total of 36 lung cancer patients with recurrence or metastasis were enrolled in this study. While 16 patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), 17 underwent MRI and CT, and 3 underwent MRI and PET-CT. Results: Each recurrence or metastasis showed decreased diffusion, which was easily recognized in DWI. The detection rate for recurrence or metastasis was 100% (36/36) in DWI, 89% (17/19) in PET-CT and 82% (27/33) in CT. Detection rate of DWI was significantly higher than that of CT (p=0.0244) but not significantly higher than that of PET-CT (p=0.22). When the optimal cutoff value of the apparent diffusion coefficient value was set as 1.70x10(-3) mm(2)/sec, the sensitivity of DWI for diagnosing recurrence or metastasis of lung cancer was 95.6%. Conclusions: DWI is useful for detection of recurrence and metastasis of lung cancer.Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention: APJCP 08/2014; 15(16):6843-8.

Article: Diagnostic Performance of Diffusion Weighted Imaging of Malignant and Benign Pulmonary Nodules and Masses: Comparison with Positron Emission Tomography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) makes it possible to detect malignant tumors based on the diffusion of water molecules. However, it is uncertain whether DWI has advantages over FDG-PET for distinguishing malignant from benign pulmonary nodules and masses. Materials and Methods: One hundred- forty-three lung cancers, 17 metastatic lung tumors, and 29 benign pulmonary nodules and masses were assessed in this study. DWI and FDG-PET were performed. Results: The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value (1.27±0.35 ?10-3 mm2/sec) of malignant pulmonary nodules and masses was significantly lower than that (1.66±0.58 ?10-3 mm2/sec) of benign pulmonary nodules and masses. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax: 7.47±6.10) of malignant pulmonary nodules and masses were also significantly higher than that (3.89±4.04) of benign nodules and masses. By using optimal cutoff values for ADC (1.44?10-3 mm2/sec) and for SUVmax (3.43), which were determined with receiver operating characteristics curves (ROC curves), the sensitivity (80.0%) of DWI was significantly higher than that (70.0%) of FDG-PET. The specificity (65.5%) of DWI was equal to that (65.5%) of FDG-PET. The accuracy (77.8%) of DWI was not significantly higher than that (69.3%) of FDG- PET for pulmonary nodules and masses. As the percentage of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) component in adenocarcinoma increased, the sensitivity of FDG-PET decreased. DWI could not help in the diagnosis of mucinous adenocarcinomas as malignant, and FDG-PET could help in the correct diagnosis of 5 out of 6 mucinous adenocarcinomas as malignant. Conclusions: DWI has higher potential than PET in assessing pulmonary nodules and masses. Both diagnostic approaches have their specific strengths and weaknesses which are determined by the underlying pathology of pulmonary nodules and masses.Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention: APJCP 06/2014; 15(11):4629-35.

Article: Relationships between EGFR Mutation Status of Lung Cancer and Preoperative Factors - Are they Predictive?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status of lung cancer is important because it means that EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment is indicated. The purpose of this prospective study is to determine whether EGFR mutation status could be identified with reference to preoperative factors. Materials and Methods: One hundred-forty eight patients with lung cancer (111 adenocarcinomas, 25 squamous cell carcinomas and 12 other cell types) were enrolled in this study. The EGFR mutation status of each lung cancer was analyzed postoperatively. Results: There were 58 patients with mutant EGFR lung cancers (mutant LC) and 90 patients with wild-type EGFR lung cancers (wild-type LC). There were significant differences in gender, smoking status, maximum tumor diameter in chest CT, type of tumor shadow, clinical stage between mutant LC and wild-type LC. EGFR mutations were detected only in adenocarcinomas. Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax:3.66±4.53) in positron emission tomography-computed tomography of mutant LC was significantly lower than that (8.26±6.11) of wild-type LC (p<0.0001). Concerning type of tumor shadow, the percentage of mutant LC was 85.7% (6/7) in lung cancers with pure ground glass opacity (GGO), 65.3%(32/49) in lung cancers with mixed GGO and 21.7%(20/92) in lung cancers with solid shadow (p<0.0001). For the results of discriminant analysis, type of tumor shadow (p=0.00036) was most significantly associated with mutant EGFR. Tumor histology (p=0.0028), smoking status (p=0.0051) and maximum diameter of tumor shadow in chest CT (p=0.047) were also significantly associated with mutant EGFR. The accuracy for evaluating EGFR mutation status by discriminant analysis was 77.0% (114/148). Conclusions: Mutant EGFR is significantly associated with lung cancer with pure or mixed GGO, adenocarcinoma, never-smoker, smaller tumor diameter in chest CT. Preoperatively, EGFR mutation status can be identified correctly in about 77 % of lung cancers.Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention: APJCP 01/2014; 15(2):657-62.

Article: Differences in the Prognostic Significance of the SUVmax between Patients with Resected Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine the prognostic significance of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) on F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) in patients undergoing surgical treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. Seventy-eight consecutive patients (58 with adenocarcinomas, 20 with squamous cell carcinomas) treated with potentially curative surgery were retrospectively reviewed. The SUVmax was significantly higher in the patients with recurrent than with non-recurrent adenocarcinoma (p<0.01). However, among the patients with squamous cell carcinoma, there were no differences with or without recurrence (p=0.69). Multivariate analysis indicated that the SUVmax of adenocarcinoma lesions was a significant predictor of disease-free survival (p=0.04). In addition, an SUVmax of 6.19, the cut-off point based on ROC curve analysis of the patients with pathological IB or more advanced stage adenocarcinomas, was found to be a significant predictor of disease-free survival (p<0.01). SUVmax is a useful predictor of disease-free survival in patients with resected adenocarcinoma, but not squamous cell carcinoma. Patients with adenocarcinoma exhibiting an SUVmax above 6.19 are candidates for more intensive adjuvant therapy.Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention: APJCP 01/2014; 15(23):10171-4.

Article: Postoperative Drainage with One Chest Tube Is Appropriate for Pulmonary Lobectomy: A Randomized Trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To expand postoperative residual lungs after pulmonary lobectomy, thoracic drainage with two chest tubes has been recommended. Several studies recently demonstrated that postoperative drainage with one chest tube (PD1) was as safe as that with two chest tubes (PD2). However, most of the patients in those studies underwent lobectomy by standard thoracotomy. Although the number of pulmonary lobectomies by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has been increasing in recent years, there have been no reports that compared PD1 with PD2 after pulmonary lobectomy, including that by VATS. To elucidate whether postoperative management with PD1 is as safe as that with PD2, we conducted a randomized controlled trial. Lung cancer patients who underwent lobectomies with mediastinal nodal dissection in our hospital were assigned to one of two groups: one chest tube placed in PD1 group and two chest tubes placed in PD2 group. A total of 108 patients were registered in the study. There were no significant differences in the age, gender, pathological stage or histological type between two groups. Since the residual lung expansion was good in both groups, there were no patients who needed thoracentesis. There were no significant differences in the number of cases with pleurodesis, the amount/duration of drainage or the pain of the patients between two groups. In conclusion, since PD1 has advantages in saving cost and time and in low risk of transcutaneous infection, PD1 is appropriate after pulmonary lobectomy by VATS and by open thoracotomy.The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine 01/2014; 232(1):55-61.

Article: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) signal intensity and distribution represent the amount of cancer cells and their distribution in primary lung cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to interpret diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) signals in lung cancers. They were converted into several three-dimensional DWI signals patterns, which represent the degree of DWI signal intensity by height and the degree of distribution by area: flat, low elevation, irregular elevation, single-peak elevation, multiple-peak elevation, and nodular elevation. There were 39 adenocarcinomas and 21 squamous cell carcinomas. Three-dimensional DWI signals decreased significantly in order of cell differentiation. Tumor cellular densities were increased according to the increase in three-dimensional DWI signals. DWI signal intensity and distribution can represent the amount of cancer cells and their distribution in the carcinoma.Clinical imaging 03/2013; 37(2):265-72.

Article: Advantages of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Over Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography in Assessment of Hilar and Mediastinal Lymph Node in Lung Cancer.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The significance of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is uncertain for the diagnosis of nodal involvement. The purpose of this study was to examine diagnostic capability of DWI compared with PET-CT for nodal involvement of lung cancer. METHODS: A total of 160 lung cancers (114 adenocarcinomas, 36 squamous cell carcinomas, and 10 other cell types) were analyzed in this study. DWI and PET-CT were performed preoperatively. RESULTS: The optimal cutoff values to diagnose metastatic lymph nodes were 1.70 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s for ADC value and 4.45 for SUVmax. DWI correctly diagnosed N staging in 144 carcinomas (90 %) but incorrectly diagnosed N staging in 16 (10 %) [3 (1.9 %) had overstaging, 13 (8.1 %) had understaging]. PET-CT correctly diagnosed N staging in 133 carcinomas (83.1 %) but incorrectly diagnosed N staging in 27 (16.8 %) [4 (2.5 %) had overstaging, 23 (14.4 %) had understaging]. Sensitivity, accuracy, and negative predictive value for N staging by DWI were significantly higher than those by PET-CT. Of the 705 lymph node stations examined, 61 had metastases, and 644 did not. The maximum diameter of metastatic lesions in lymph nodes were 3.0 ± 0.9 mm in 21 lymph node stations not detected by either DWI or PET-CT: 7.2 ± 4.1 mm in 39 detected by DWI, and 11.9 ± 4.1 mm in 24 detected by PET-CT. There were significant differences among them. The sensitivity (63.9 %) for metastatic lymph node stations by DWI was significantly higher than that (39.3 %) by PET-CT. The accuracy (96.2 %) for all lymph node stations by DWI was significantly higher than that (94.3 %) by PET-CT. CONCLUSIONS: DWI has advantages over PET-CT in diagnosing malignant from benign lymph nodes of lung cancers.Annals of Surgical Oncology 12/2012; 20(5).

Article: A Randomized Controlled Trial on the Efficacy of Thoracic CT Screening for Lung Cancer in Non-smokers and Smokers of < 30 Pack-years Aged 50-64 Years (JECS Study): Research Design[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In order to assess the efficacy of lung cancer screening using low-dose thoracic computed tomography, compared with chest roentgenography, in people aged 50-64 years with a smoking history of <30 pack-years, a randomized controlled trial is being conducted in Japan. The screening methods are randomly assigned individually. The duration of this trial is 10 years. In the intervention arm, low-dose thoracic computed tomography is performed for each participant in the first and the sixth years. In the control arm, chest roentgenography is performed for each participant in the first year. The participants in both arms are also encouraged to receive routine lung cancer screening using chest roentgenography annually. The interpretation of radiological findings and the follow-up of undiagnosed nodules are to be carried out according to the guidelines published in Japan. The required sample size is calculated to be 17 500 subjects for each arm.Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology 10/2012; 42(12). DOI:10.1093/jjco/hys157 · 1.75 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: We encountered a rare case of extrapleural hematoma which developed into late-onset pleural effusion. The patient was a 52-year-old male. On admission to our hospital, we diagnosed him with traumatic hemothorax, and conducted chest tube drainage. The amount of drainage decreased rapidly (50 ml/day), and so the patient was extubated and discharged from the hospital. After one week, the patient presented with a noticeable increase of pleural effusion, for which we conducted chest tube drainage again.To identify the cause of the recurrent pleural effusion, we conducted VATS (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery). We noted that a part of the parietal pleura was torn and a dark red liquid was flowing into the thoracic cavity from the tear. It was thought that a hematoma had formed outside the parietal pleura, and hemolysate from the hematoma flowed into the thoracic cavity, causing recurrent pleural effusion. The current case suggests that VATS may be a useful option in diagnosing and treating patients with extrapleural hematomas.The Journal of the Japanese Associtation for Chest Surgery 01/2012; 26(1):056-059.

ABSTRACT: A certified method for lung cancer screening in Japan is the combination of chest X-ray and sputum cytology. The chest Xray examination is intended primarily for the detection of peripheral-type lung cancer. Interpretation of the films should be performed by two different physicians, and the films of screenees suspected to have abnormal shadow should be compared to the same screenee's films from previous screening visits. Sputum cytology is conducted for heavy smokers, and is useful for early detection of central lung cancer. The efficacy of this lung cancer screening method has been shown in several case control studies. There are some problems to solve i. e., a low rate of attendance and inadequate quality control. Low-dose thoracic CT screening is performed with an exposure within a single breath hold, and its interpretation can be conducted with films, CRT, or a LCD monitor. Even when taken at low doses, the radiation exposure dose is large compared to a chest X-ray, being about 3-10 times greater than the absorbed dose and 20-40 times greater than the effective dose. Since the radiation dose in a usual clinical condition is much higher, the clinical condition is not recommended for screening. Concerning the efficacy of low-dose CT screening for heavy-smokers, a positive result was reported in June 2011, and further detailed analyses are required. There are still some problems to solve i. e., the management of undiagnosed shadows, harm caused by the screening, quality control, and efficacy in non-smokers.Gan to kagaku ryoho.

Article: Do Japanese Thoracic Surgeons Think that Dissection of the Pulmonary Ligament Is Necessary After an Upper Lobectomy?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It is uncertain whether the dissection of the pulmonary ligament is necessary in patients who undergo an upper lobectomy. A questionnaire was sent to the directors of Thoracic Surgery in 102 hospitals, asking whether dissection of the pulmonary ligament is performed in such patients, and the complications associated with dissecting or preserving the ligament. Seventy-eight directors (76%) returned the questionnaire. The preservation of the ligament is the current practice in 54 hospitals (69%), while 13 hospitals (17%) occasionally dissect, 9 hospitals (11%) regularly dissect, and 2 hospitals (3%) half dissect the ligament. Thirty directors experienced complications which were thought to be associated with dissecting the ligament: bronchial stenosis (21 directors), atelectasis (8), and bronchial obstruction (4). Twenty-six directors described complications thought to be associated with preserving the ligament: the pooling of pleural effusion (19 directors), insufficient expansion of lung (18), atelectasis (8), and empyema (7). Preservation of the ligament may therefore be useful in preventing bronchial stenosis and obstruction, while its dissection may be useful to prevent the pooling of pleural effusion.Surgery Today 11/2010; 40(11):1097-9.

Article: Correlation between glucose transporter-1 expression and 18F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose uptake on positron emission tomography in lung cancer.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to determine if glucose transporter-1 (Glut1) expression correlates with (18)F-FDG ((18)F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET) in lung cancer and to examine the similarities and differences between them. A total of 34 patients with resected primary lung cancers were investigated in this study. There were 17 adenocarcinomas, 12 squamous cell carcinomas, and 5 cancers of other cell types. Immunohistochemical Glut1 intensity was categorized into three groups: negative, positive, and strongly positive. Glut1 frequency was defined by the proportion of positive cells among all cancer cells, and it was graded on a semiquantitative scale as 0-100% in 10% increments. The data are expressed as the mean +/- SD. Maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) were 4.8 +/- 6.3 in "negative" Glut1 intensity cases, 4.7 +/- 3.1 in "positive" Glut1 intensity cases, and 11.2 +/- 5.2 in "strongly positive" Glut1 intensity cases. Although SUVmax correlated significantly with tumor size (correlation coefficient 0.58, P = 0.00033), Glut1 frequency did not correlate significantly with tumor size (correlation coefficient 0.18, P = 0.301). Cell type and cell differentiation correlated significantly with Glut1 expression and (18)F-FDG uptake. Glut1 expression correlates significantly with (18)F-FDG uptake. There are similarities in cell differentiation and cell type between Glut1 expression and (18)F-FDG uptake. (18)F-FDG uptake correlates significantly with tumor size, but Glut1 expression does not.General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 08/2010; 58(8):405-10. DOI:10.1007/s11748-010-0603-1
