Thoracic SurgerySESSION TYPE: Slide PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 09:00 AM - 10:00 AMPURPOSE: Surgical treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC) lung metastases requires resection of all malignant lesions. Computed Tomography (CT) findings may not agree with pathological ones. This lack of agreement can result in incomplete resection. The aim of this study was to estimate the determinants of disagreement between findings provided by CT and surgical pathology in patients undergoing removal of CRC lung lesions. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Carmen Marron Fernandez, Javier de la Cruz, David Lora, Pablo Gamez, Juan Jose Rivas, Raul Embun, Laureano MolinsNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

Pulmonary Function TestingSESSION TYPE: Slide PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Sunday, March 23, 2014 at 04:15 PM - 05:15 PMPURPOSE: According to the predominant phenotype, patients suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Oisease (COPO) may present varying and important nutritional profile alterations, up to extreme degrees of severe proteic-energetic malnutrition. In our study, Bioelectricallmpedance Analysis (BIA) has been used in the evaluation of nutritional status (with particular regards to body lean mass alterations) of patients suffering from COPDMETHODS: Up to now, 68 patients (46 M; mean age 70.6 yrs) affected by stable mild to very severe COPD (GOLD 2011 stages l-IV) were evaluated. All of them underwent body plethysmographic evaluation of pulmonary function, six-minute walking test (6MWT) and respiratory muscles strength evaluation (with maximum Inspiratory and expiratory pressures - MIP/MEP - assessment). Moreover, BIA variables were studied with Dietosystem Human Scan, that expresses either quantitative (BIA index) and qualitative (multifrequency relation and phase angle) body lean mass alterations. Furthermore, SIA data from a control age matched group were collected. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Francesco De Blasio, Maria Grazia Santaniello, Francesca De Blasio, Giulia Miracco Berlingieri, Barbara Bellofiore, Luca ScalfiNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
