Background: A diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) may
include surgical lung biopsy (SLB), which is associated with significant
morbidity and mortality and also appreciable costs. Transbronchial lung
cryobiopsy (TBLC) is adopting an important role. Objectives: The
aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic yield (DY) and safety of TBLC
and SLB in a large ... hiện toàn bộ
Transbronchial Cryobiopsies for the Diagnosis of Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases: Expert Statement from the Cryobiopsy Working Group on Safety and Utility and a Call for Standardization of the Procedure Tập 95 Số 3 - Trang 188-200 - 2018

Herth, Venerino Poletti
Transbronchial cryobiopsies (TBCB) have recently been introduced as a promising
and safer alternative to surgical lung biopsy in the diagnostic approach to
diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD). Despite a substantial and expanding
body of literature, the technique has not yet been standardized and its place in
the diagnostic algorithm of DPLD remains to be defined. In part, this reflects

Massive Hemoptysis: An Update on the Role of Bronchoscopy in Diagnosis and Management Tập 80 Số 1 - Trang 38-58 - 2010
Lama Sakr, Hervé Dutau
Hemoptysis is frequently encountered in clinical practice, and may be the
presenting symptom of a number of diseases. Although massive hemoptysis accounts
for only 5–15% of episodes, it should always be considered as a life-threatening
condition that warrants effective assessment and management. In this article, we
review the literature with regard to the definition, etiology, epidemiology,
pathop... hiện toàn bộ
Utility of Rapid On-Site Evaluation of Transbronchial Needle Aspirates Tập 72 Số 2 - Trang 182-188 - 2005
Andreas H. Diacon, Macé M. Schuurmans, Johan Theron, Mercia Louw, Colleen A. Wright, Karen Brundyn, Chris T. Bolliger
Background: Rapid on-site evaluation has been proposed as a method to
improve the yield of transbronchial needle aspiration. Objectives: This
study investigated whether on-site analysis facilitates routine diagnostic
bronchoscopy in terms of sampling, yield and cost. Methods: Patients with
lesions accessible for transbronchial needle aspiration on computed tomography
were inve... hiện toàn bộ

Background: This report summarizes initial tests of an emphysematous lung
synthetic polymer sealant (ELS) designed to reduce lung volume in patients with
advanced emphysema. Objectives: The primary study objective was to define
a therapeutic strategy to optimize treatment safety and effectiveness.
Methods: ELS therapy was administered bronchoscopically to 25 patients
with hete... hiện toàn bộ
Usefulness of Endobronchial Ultrasonography for Transbronchial Lung Biopsies of Peripheral Lung Lesions Tập 71 Số 3 - Trang 260-268 - 2004
Taeko Shirakawa, Fumiya Imamura, Junji Hamamoto, Izumi Honda, Kazuo Fukushima, Mineharu Sugimoto, Takayuki Shirkakusa
Background: Peripheral lung lesions are increasing in numbers. Endoscopic
diagnosis is essential for the prevention of unnecessary operations.
Conventional diagnostic procedures have limitations in availability and results.
Objectives: Endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) was investigated as a
means to guide transbronchial lung biopsy, to reduce the discomfort during the
procedure an... hiện toàn bộ
Early Use of Corticosteroid May Prolong SARS-CoV-2 Shedding in Non-Intensive Care Unit Patients with COVID-19 Pneumonia: A Multicenter, Single-Blind, Randomized Control Trial Tập 100 Số 2 - Trang 116-126 - 2021

Background: There is still no clinical evidence available to
support or to oppose corticosteroid treatment for coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) pneumonia. Objective: To investigate the efficacy and
safety of corticosteroid given to the hospitalized patients with COVID-19

Background: In China, both the levels and patterns of outdoor air
pollution have altered dramatically with the rapid economic development and
urbanization over the past two decades. However, few studies have investigated
the association of outdoor air pollution with respiratory mortality, especially
in the high pollution range. Objective: We conducted a
