Thorax, 2017 A 42-year-old male non-smoker presented to the emergency department with a 1-month history of fever. He had no medical history. He was treated with oral antibiotics for a presumed chest infection. Initial chest radiograph (CXR) is shown in figure 1A. Figure 1 (A) Initial presentation chest radiograph (CXR). (B) Repeat CXR 2 weeks postpresentation. (

Miniaturized Magnetic Tip Design for Endoluminal Vine Robot Navigation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A magnetic tip mount is designed for a miniaturized 7 mm soft‐growing vine robot to enable wireless magnetic steering and onboard imaging, while preserving a 3 mm working channel. The internal–external ring magnets design balances magnetic attachment with low eversion pressure. Experiments demonstrate ±90° steering, 34 mm bending radius, and successful

CT Virtual Bronchoscopy, Multi-Detector CT Chest versus Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy in detecting Lung Collapse [PDF]
Minia Journal of Medical ResearchBackground: Fiber-optic bronchoscopy (FOB) is the gold standard for diagnosing tracheobronchial lesions, but has limitations including invasiveness and restricted access to certain airways.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study introduces a foundation model‐based biomarker for risk stratification of pathological response in non‐small cell lung cancer. A Vision Mamba super‐resolution model standardizes heterogeneous CT images. A multi‐task Swin Transformer then fine‐tunes a pre‐trained lung foundation model to jointly optimize tumor segmentation and response ...

Tuberculosis in Malta : a case for sputum induction [PDF]
, 2013 Sputum induction is a procedure used to help patients expectorate samples of sputum for laboratory analysis. It is a simple, safe and standardised procedure which may avoid the use of more invasive and potentially harmful interventions such as fibreoptic

Sedation for flexible bronchoscopy: current and emerging evidence [PDF]
European Respiratory Review, 2013 Flexible bronchoscopy is commonly performed by respiratory physicians and is the gold standard for directly visualising the airways, allowing for numerous diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work presents a magnetic bronchoscopy robot with a novel multi‐segment variable stiffness catheter. This catheter can not only move flexibly in the narrow bronchi but also harden according to the need to provide support. Combined with remote wireless magnetic field drive, it provides a more precise and effective solution for biopsy of deep lung ...
