VATS biopsy for undetermined interstitial lung disease under non-general anesthesia: comparison between uniportal approach under intercostal block vs three-ports in epidural anesthesia

In the article entitled “VATS biopsy for undetermined interstitial lung disease under non-general anesthesia: comparison between uniportal approach under intercostal block vs three-ports in epidural anesthesia” that appears on Pages 888-895 (1) of the July 2014 Issue of Journal of Thoracic Disease (JTD), there were two errors. The corrections are as follows.

(I) In the page 891, “Postoperative care” Paragraph, Line 212, the sentence “Each item is linked to a 5-point Likert scale [1-5] with a minimum cumulative score of 5 (maximal impairment) and maximum of 200 (no impairment).” should be corrected into “Each item is linked to a 5-point Likert scale [1-5] with a minimum cumulative score of 40 (maximal impairment) and maximum of 200 (no impairment).”;

(II) In Table 3 at page 893, the “24-hour postop QoR40 [5-200]” should be “24-hour postop QoR40 [40-200]”.

Preservation solutions for cardiac and pulmonary donor grafts: a review of the current literature

In the article entitled “Preservation solutions for cardiac and pulmonary donor grafts: a review of the current literature” that appears on Pages 1143-1149 (2) of the August 2014 Issue of Journal of Thoracic Disease (JTD), there were two errors. The corrections are as follows.

(I) In the Paragraph 7, Line 5, the two sentences “The development of newer solutions containing alternate impermeants/colloids led to superior protection against cellular swelling. UW contains lactobionate and the trisaccharide impermeant raffinose as well as the synthetic colloid HES (Roskott et al.). HTK, CEL, and Papworth rely on mannitol to combat tissue edema (9).” should be corrected into “The development of newer solutions containing alternate impermeants/colloids led to superior protection against cellular swelling. UW contains lactobionate and the trisaccharide impermeant raffinose as well as the synthetic colloid HES (Roskott et al.) (9). HTK, CEL, and Papworth rely on mannitol to combat tissue edema.”;

(II) In Table 3 “Struber (34) study”, the number of cases should be “106 (EC 55, LPD 51)” instead of “106 (EC 63, LPD 57)”.

Relation of late gadolinium enhancement in cardiac magnetic resonance on the diastolic volume recovery of left ventricle with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

In the article entitled “Relation of late gadolinium enhancement in cardiac magnetic resonance on the diastolic volume recovery of left ventricle with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy” that appears on Pages 988-994 (3) of the July 2014 Issue of the Journal of Thoracic Disease (JTD), there was one minor error. The correction is as follows.

(I) In the page 988, title page, the authors information “Xiaorong Chen^1,2, Hongjie Hu², Yue Qian², Jiner Shu¹” should be corrected into “Xiaorong Chen^1,2, Hongjie Hu¹,Yue Qian¹, Jiner Shu²”.

The publisher regrets these errors.
