    Abstract In selected patients with severe heterogenous emphysema lung volume reduction can be performed by using endobronchial valves. So far, only unilateral procedures have been published. Here is described a patient where a right-sided closure of the right upper lobe resulted in an increase of FEV1sec of more than 50%, and some years later the procedure was repeated on the left side with further considerable improvement. A tracheal bronchus to the apical segment of the right upper lobe made measuring the collateral flow at bronchoscopy impossible, but clearly visible fissures were used as a substitute. In conclusion, valve treatment in suitable patients can give substantial improvement in lung function and quality of life and can be repeated on the other side if warranted some years later.

    Abstract Interpretation of serological findings in suspected Lyme borreliosis (LB) may be challenging and IgM reactivities in serum are often unspecific (false positive). There is a risk for overdiagnosis of LB, inadequate use of antibiotics, and potential delay of proper diagnosis. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic value of IgM analysis in serum and IgM antibody index (AI) in LB diagnosis. This was a retrospective observational study regarding Borrelia-specific antibodies in serum and Borrelia-specific AI in LB investigations being made during 2017 in Jönköping County, Sweden. Medical records of 610 patients with detectable anti-Borrelia antibodies in serum (IgM and/or IgG) and 15 patients with elevated Borrelia-specific AI were retrospectively scrutinized, and the compliance to current European recommendations was assessed. Among the 610 patients, only 30% were tested according to the European recommendations. Within this group of tests taken correctly, 50% of the LB diagnoses in patients with isolated IgM reactivity in serum were retrospectively assessed as incorrect (LB unlikely). Three pediatric patients with clinical and laboratory findings suggestive of Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) had elevated IgM AI alone. Serological testing without distinct clinical signs/symptoms consistent with LB contributes to most misdiagnoses. Isolated IgM positivity in serum shows limited clinical value and needs further assessment before being reported by the laboratory. Detection of IgM in combination with IgG antibodies in serum shows no clinical enhancement for correct LB diagnosis compared to isolated IgG positivity. However, Borrelia-specific IgM AI may be important for sensitivity in early LNB.

    Abstract Background: Endobronchial lung volume reduction (EBVR) with one-way valves introduced into the most diseased lobe of the lung is a non-invasive method to improve lung function in patients with severe heterogenous emphysema. The problem is to select the right patients for the procedure. Furthermore, the long-term effects have not been reported in most studies.
    Methods: EBVR was performed in 35 patients with severely handicapping emphysema and with one radiologically clearly enlarged (at least 125%) target lung lobe and clearly visible and complete interlobar fissures on CT. Most of the successful survivors have then been followed for five years.
    Results: Five (14%) were primary failures (defined as less than 15% increase of FEV
    Conclusions: With careful selection of patients remarkably good results in lung function can be achieved, and these improvements will last for years though slowly decrease. In addition, the results indicate an improvement in survival with successful EBVR procedure.

    Abstract Objective: To examine the incidence and epidemiology of malignant mesothelioma in immigrants from Karain where there is an extraordinarily high incidence of mesothelioma, Cappadocia, Turkey, to Stockholm, Sweden, and their children over 20 years of age born in Stockholm, i.e. two genetically similar populations with and without erionite exposure.
    Methods: This survey was conducted as a retrospective cohort study. Standardized average annual mesothelioma incidence rates (AAMIRs) and mesothelioma standardized incidence ratio (mSIR) were calculated. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the importance of different factors related to mesothelioma risk.
    Results: The cohort consisted of 337 people, 203 of whom were born and/or lived in Karain before immigrating to Sweden (erionite-exposed), and 134 who were born in Stockholm (erionite-unexposed). There were 69 deaths, 42 (61%) due to mesothelioma, and two patients with the disease who were still alive. Of these 44 patients, 22 were men. All mesothelioma patients were in the erionite-exposed group. In the age group 30-49 years, mesothelioma developed in 11 of 38 (29%) with erionite exposure, while there were no cases among 86 persons in the non-exposed group. For men, the AAMIR was 253.9 per 100,000 persons in the whole cohort, and for women, it was 350.9. The mSIR was 71.9 for men and 393.1 for women. Exposure to erionite exceeding 20 years and age over 40 years were associated with increased mesothelioma risk.
    Conclusion: Exposure to erionite is the leading cause of mesothelioma in Karain villagers, and genetic factors are probably of minor importance.

    Title translation Thoracal actinomycosis - a diagnostic challenge.
    Abstract Actinomycotic infection of the chest structures is rare but can be serious. Diagnosis is difficult, since both culture of the bacterium and pathological investigation require special methods. Investigations therefore usually take many months before the correct treatment can be started. The most common differential diagnosis is a chest malignancy. Treatment is long-term antibiotics. We here present three cases which illustrate the clinical and radiological findings and the diagnostic difficulties.
