abstract = "Primary salivary type lung cancer are extremely rare intrathoracic malignancies. Mucoepidermoid tumor is one of the salivary gland tumor which originates from submucosal glands of tracheobronchial tree. These are very slow growing low grade malignant tumors. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment and rarely requires adjuvant therapy. In this case report, we describe a case of a young male who presented with cough and hemoptysis. On further investigation he was found to have mucoepidermoid tumor originating from the left bronchus.",

note = "Funding Information: suggestions that physicians are obligated to fully inquire about complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use and its scientific evidence, to acknowledge patients' health beliefs and practices, and to accommodate diverse healing practices, our project created an advisory committee composed of holistic practitioners and institutional personnel to incorporate CAM related information into health professions training. We report on the collaborative process and describe group members' perceptions of medicine and clinical teaching. Methods: Information collected from the first two years' quarterly meetings, the first annual retreat and other venues were analyzed in conjunction with semi-structured in-person interviews of ten biomedical and CAM practitioner committee members. Data were analyzed using qualitative methodology and N5 software to identify themes and patterns. Results: Analysis confirmed expectations that allopathic and holistic AC members held different views of health and healing. Member comments reflected points of tension which clustered into three intertwined themes: what constitutes evidence, interaction with the patient, and the relative importance of experience in learning. Conclusion: Differences were frequent but did not obviate common goals or collaboration. Results demonstrate the potential for collaboration between these groups. Our members' perceptions of medicine and clinical teaching should be useful to others seeking to improve collaboration. Acknowledgment: This project was supported by grant 5 R25 AT000682 from the US National Institutes of Health, National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM).",
