Advanced Imaging Techniques to Facilitate Bronchoscopic Sampling of Peripheral Pulmonary LesionsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-8 - 2024
Van K. Holden, Lakshmi Mudambi
This review describes real-time imaging modalities recently introduced into bronchoscopic sampling of peripheral pulmonary nodules and appraises the data available on these technologies. In the last 5 years, four different types of imaging modalities have been introduced into bronchoscopic sampling of peripheral pulmonary nodules: digital tomosynthesis, augmented fluoroscopy, hybrid 2-dimensional/...... hiện toàn bộ
Imaging in Occupational and Environmental Lung DiseaseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 63-73 - 2020

This review article aims to highlight the common and uncommon imaging features of work-related and environmental lung disease to help the clinicians suspect diagnosis in patients with occult or known exposures to inhalational potent substances. Occupational and environmental lung disease are the most frequent work-related illness in the USA with a recent resurgence mainly due to inadequate exposur...... hiện toàn bộ
Blast-related lung injuriesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 70-76 - 2016
David M. Ferraro, Paul D. Hiles
Blast-related lung injuries are occurring with increased frequency in a variety of circumstances, necessitating that both civilian and military providers across the healthcare spectrum understand how to promptly diagnose and manage these injury patterns. Primary, secondary, and tertiary blast injury mechanisms are most commonly encountered and can result in primary blast lung injury, air embolism,...... hiện toàn bộ
Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Secondary to Occupational ExposureSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 30-39 - 2021
Anupam Kumar, Kristin J. Cummings
Occupational exposures are associated with a wide array of respiratory disorders that include asbestosis, coal workers’ pneumoconiosis and silicosis, asthma, COPD, bronchiolitis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, and certain infections. Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is characterized by accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material in the alveoli and alveolar macrop...... hiện toàn bộ
Pleural Manometry—Basics for Clinical PracticeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 111-120 - 2021
Katarzyna Faber, Rafal Krenke
The aim of this paper is to present basic data on pleural manometry and to outline the advances in its use as both a research tool enabling a better understanding of pleural pathophysiology and as a clinical tool useful in management strategy planning in patients with pleural diseases. To discuss updates and current trends in the development of pleural manometry, a search of the literature on pleu...... hiện toàn bộ
Persistent, Immunosuppression, Inflammation, Catabolism Syndrome and Diaphragmatic DysfunctionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 54-57 - 2017
Martin D. Rosenthal, Cameron M. Rosenthal, Frederick A. Moore, Robert G. Martindale
The purpose of this review is to explore the relationship between ICU-acquired weakness, diaphragm dysfunction, and persistent immunosuppression, inflammation, catabolism syndrome (PICS), as well as if there are any therapies that can help rehabilitate these patients. Literature pertaining to PICS is scant, as it is a relatively new description of encompassing chronic multiorgan dysfunction and ch...... hiện toàn bộ
Bronchial Thermoplasty in Severe AsthmaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 221-226 - 2017
Ana Maria Muñoz-Fernández, Alfons Torrego
Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is an endoscopic treatment for severe and uncontrolled asthma. This review provides an overview of the indications, selection criteria, treatment application, and scientific evidence regarding its mechanism of action and safety and efficacy of BT in current clinical practice. It seems that reduction in airway smooth muscle is one of the principal mechanisms of action, s...... hiện toàn bộ
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: 8 Years On After Nintedanib and Pirfenidone Approval—What Is on the Horizon?Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 113-124 - 2023
Gioele Castelli, Elisabetta Cocconcelli, Nicol Bernardinello, Elisabetta Balestro, Paolo Spagnolo
The approval of nintedanib and pirfenidone has changed the treatment landscape of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); however, both drugs only slow disease progression and are burdened by tolerability issues. We summarize the most advanced developmental drugs in IPF, but also mention selected compounds in earlier phases.
Several compounds are currently being tested in IPF; the number of trials h...... hiện toàn bộ
