Aspirated Soybean Mimicking Endobronchial Tumour Removed With a Cryoprobe. [PDF]

open access: yesRespirol Case Rep
We present a case of an airway foreign body removed by cryoprobe that was initially considered to be endotracheal lipoma or endobronchial hamartoma based on imaging findings. ABSTRACT Adult airway foreign bodies are misdiagnosed as endobronchial tumours on imaging. A 77‐year‐old man with asbestosis presented with a worsening cough. Computed tomography (

Survival of patients with asbestosis can be assessed by risk-predicting models

open access: yesOccupational and Environmental Medicine, 2021
Objectives Our aim was to investigate the pulmonary function test (PFT) results of patients with asbestosis and determine whether baseline PFTs and the risk-predicting models such as gender, age and physiologic (GAP) variables model and composite ...
