Bronchoscopic diagnosis of pneumonia [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Microbiology Reviews, 1994
Lower respiratory tract infections are characterized by significant morbidity and mortality but also by a relative inability to establish a specific etiologic agent on clinical grounds alone. With the recognized shortcomings of expectorated or aspirated secretions toward establishing an etiologic diagnosis, clinicians have increasingly used ...

How I Do It: A Novel Case Series of Office‐Based Laser Complete Excision of Vocal Fold Cysts

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Office‐based complete excision of vocal fold cysts using Trublue laser via transnasal flexible endoscopy is a technically feasible alternative to conventional marsupialization, enabling en bloc removal under local anesthesia with excellent procedural tolerability.

Inter‐ and Intra‐Rater Reliability of 4D‐CT Versus Bronchoscopy in Diagnosing and Grading Tracheomalacia

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Bronchoscopy and 4D‐CT are used to grade tracheomalacia severity, though reliability across raters and specialties has been unclear. In this multi‐institutional, multidisciplinary survey study, endoscopic assessment showed higher inter‐ and intra‐rater reliability than 4D‐CT, though both modalities demonstrated substantial‐to‐almost‐perfect agreement ...

Diagnostic Yield of EBUS Mediastinal Cryobiopsy Versus TBNA in Suspected Lymphoproliferative Disorders: A Prospective Multicentre Study

open access: yesRespirology, EarlyView.
We assessed the diagnostic yield of EBUS‐guided transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy (EBUS‐TBMC) compared with EBUS‐transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) in patients with suspected mediastinal lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs). EBUS‐TBMC was superior to EBUS‐TBNA and achieved a high diagnostic yield in patients with suspected mediastinal ...

The Airway Transcriptome in Type 2 Cytokine Biomarker‐High and ‐Low Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study distinguishes severe asthma–related airway transcriptomic changes from the effects of high‐dose ICS. Most dysregulated genes in severe asthma show concordance with corticosteroid responses. Corticosteroid‐resistant T2‐high asthma featured T2‐high and epithelial barrier gene upregulation, while T2‐low asthma featured Th1/IL‐17 signatures. ASM,
