Transfusion, Volume 63 Suppl 3, 1 1 2023, Pages S249-S255 Screening for Zika virus in US armed services blood program donors: An opportunity to compare emerging infectious disease risk between the general US population and military donors. Fedyk CG, Shahin GM, Hill R, Cap AP, DoD Zika IND Investigators
Background: The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) collects blood from volunteer DoD donors in U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-regulated centers, and from emergency donor panels in overseas operations. Emerging infectious diseases could reduce DoD access to blood products. In August 2016, FDA determined that Zika virus was transfusion-transmitted and advised that donated blood should be screened for Zika utilizing one of two investigational new drug (IND) applications. The Armed Services B... Abstract

Journal of robotic surgery, Volume 17, Issue 4, 16 3 2023, Pages 1587-1598 Robot-assisted thoracic surgery for stages IIB-IVA non-small cell lung cancer: retrospective study of feasibility and outcome. Shahin GMM, Vos PWK, Hutteman M, Stigt JA, Braun J
Robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) for higher stages non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) remains controversial. This study reports the feasibility of RATS in patients with stages IIB-IVA NSCLC. A single-institute, retrospective study was conducted with patients undergoing RATS for stages IIB-IVA NSCLC, from January 2015 until January 2020. Unforeseen N2 disease was excluded. Data were collected from the Dutch Lung Cancer Audit database. Conversion rate, radical (R0) resection rate, local r... Abstract
Surgical technology international, Volume 41, 20 3 2022, Pages sti41/1575 Robotic Mitral Valve Surgery. Palmen M, Tomšič A, Braun J, Oudeman MAP, Shahin GMM, Klautz RJM
Growing interest in minimalizing surgical trauma during heart procedures stimulated the development of robotic mitral valve surgery in the late 1990s. Initially, the new technology was slowly adopted in clinical practice. However, following encouraging results by teams that adopted robotic heart surgery early on, a growing interest in implementation of robotic mitral valve surgery has emerged. Of importance are the technical developments and possibilities that accompany robotic surgery. Robotic... Abstract

Journal of thoracic disease, Volume 13, Issue 2, 1 1 2021, Pages 592-599 Quality assessment of robot assisted thoracic surgical resection of non-small cell lung cancer: nodal upstaging and mediastinal recurrence. Shahin GM, Topal B, Pouwels S, Markou TL, Boon R, Stigt JA
Background: Robot assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is the minimally invasive surgical technique of choice for treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), at the Isala Hospital. The aim of this study is to compare clinical and pathological staging results and mediastinal recurrence after RATS for anatomical resections of lung cancer as surrogate markers for quality of mediastinal lymph node dissection (MLND). Methods: This single institute retrospective study was conducted in p... Abstract

SAGE open medical case reports, Volume 8, 8 2 2020, Pages 2050313X20918989 A novel approach to resolve severe mediastinal and subcutaneous emphysema occurring in Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia using vacuum-assisted closure therapy. Bouwmeester NH, Kieft H, Shahin GM, Nierich AP
A 50-year-old human immunodeficiency virus positive patient who was diagnosed with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia developed severe subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema, which was progressive despite low pressure mechanical ventilation. Infraclavicular skin incisions and vacuum-assisted closure therapy were used to resolve the emphysema. The subcutaneous emphysema decreased significantly, and after 1 week the vacuum-assisted closure therapy was ended successfully. This technique has previousl... Abstract

Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, Volume 28, Issue 4, 5 1 2019, Pages 1983-1989 The usefulness of preoperative exercise therapy in patients scheduled for lung cancer surgery; a survey among Dutch pulmonologists and cardiothoracic surgeons. Pouwels S, Topal B, Ter Woorst JF, Buise MP, Shahin GM, Spruit MA, Smeenk FWJM
Background: Preoperative exercise training (PET) studies show promising results in various patient populations. However, the lack of standardised programmes and uniformity in practice guidelines are barriers for implementation. Aim of this study was to assess the current opinions of pulmonologists and cardiothoracic surgeons on the clinical applicability of PET in patients scheduled for lung cancer surgery. Methods: Dutch pulmonologists and cardiothoracic surgeons were asked to complete a 29-que... Abstract

Journal of thoracic oncology : official publication of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, Volume 8, Issue 2, 1 1 2013, Pages 214-221 A randomized controlled trial of postthoracotomy pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with resectable lung cancer. Stigt JA, Uil SM, van Riesen SJ, Simons FJ, Denekamp M, Shahin GM, Groen HJ
Introduction: Little is known about the effects of rehabilitation for patients with lung cancer after thoracotomy. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program on quality of life (QOL) and secondary objectives were to determine its effects on pain and exercise capacity and the feasibility of combining rehabilitation with adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: Patients who had undergone a thoracotomy for lung cancer were randomized between... Abstract

Congenital heart disease, Volume 5, Issue 6, 1 1 2010, Pages 599-606 Congenital circumflex artery-coronary sinus fistula in an adult female associated with severe mitral regurgitation and myelodysplasy--case report and review of the literature. Said SA, van der Sluis A, Koster K, Sie H, Shahin GM
Background: Coronary artery fistulas are uncommon anomalies. They occur in 0.1-0.2% of patients undergoing coronary arteriography. The origin of the fistulas is the right coronary artery followed by the left anterior descending and lastly by the circumflex artery (17%). Termination into the right heart side occurs in 90% of cases. Termination into the coronary sinus is rare in 3% of cases. Circumflex artery-coronary sinus fistulas are even rarer. Design: A single case report and literature revie... Abstract

Lung cancer (Amsterdam, Netherlands), Volume 66, Issue 2, 20 3 2009, Pages 198-204 Comparison of EUS-guided fine needle aspiration and integrated PET-CT in restaging after treatment for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Stigt JA, Oostdijk AH, Timmer PR, Shahin GM, Boers JE, Groen HJ
Background: After induction treatment restaging of mediastinal disease in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) may lead to selection of candidates for further surgical treatment. Nodal down-staging is the best predictive characteristic for proceeding with surgery. We report our experience in restaging with endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirations (EUS-FNA) and with repeated integrated positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT). Methods: Twenty... Abstract

European journal of cardio-thoracic surgery : official journal of the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery, Volume 10, Issue 5, 1 1 1996, Pages 299-304 Upper and lower extremity somatosensory evoked potential recording during surgery for aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta. Shahin GM, Hamerlijnck RP, Schepens MA, Ter Beek HT, Vermeulen FE, Boezeman EH
Since tibial nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) recording is influenced by hemodynamic changes and anesthetics, alterations cannot always be attributed to spinal cord ischemia, so causing false positive results. Additional recording of median nerve SEPs facilitates interpretation. From January 1988 to July 1993, 60 consecutive patients (44 men, 16 women, mean age 66 years, ranging from 26 to 83 years) underwent surgery for an aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta using a non-hepari...
