Navigational bronchoscopy: a guide through history, current use, and developing technology

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2020
The peripheral pulmonary nodule offers unique challenges to the clinician, especially in regards to diagnostic approach. Quite often the etiology of the nodule is spurious, though the specter of malignancy drives accurate classification of the nodule ...

Torque‐Transmitting Architected Metamaterials for Flexible and Extendable Tubular Robotics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Soft and continuum robots commonly rely on fluid, tendon, or rod‐based power transmissions, to control robotic form and actuation. This study presents an architected structure, based on patterned straight‐line mechanisms, that enables simultaneous bending, extending, and torsionally rigid (BETR) transmission.

Cone beam computed tomography-guided thin/ultrathin bronchoscopy for diagnosis of peripheral lung nodules: a prospective pilot study.

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2018
Background Despite advances in bronchoscopy, its diagnostic yield for peripheral lung lesions continues to be suboptimal. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) could be utilized to corroborate the accuracy of our bronchoscopic navigation and hopefully ...

Impact of Environmental and Seasonal Factors on Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum With and Without Pneumorrhachis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) with pneumorrhachis is rare but generally benign and self‐limiting. However, the impact of environmental and seasonal factors on SPM remains unclear. This study investigated their association with SPM onset and clinical outcomes.
