A Mimic of Metastatic Malignancy: Dietary Supplement-Associated Drug-Induced Lung Injury Presenting as Multiple Pulmonary Nodules With an Acute Fibrinous and Organizing Pneumonia Pattern. [PDF]
Dietary supplement‐associated drug‐induced lung injury may rarely present as multiple pulmonary nodules with eosinophilia. Histopathology may reveal an AFOP pattern accompanied by unusually prominent eosinophilic inflammation. ABSTRACT Drug‐induced lung injury (DILI) may present with diverse radiological and histopathological manifestations.

Diagnostic Performance of Radial EBUS-Guided Cryobiopsy for Peripheral Lung Lesions: First Experience in Morocco. [PDF]
Radial EBUS‐guided transbronchial cryobiopsy using a 1.1‐mm cryoprobe achieved a 75.3% diagnostic yield for peripheral lung lesions in 73 patients, with no severe hemorrhage. Protocolized balloon blocker use effectively controlled all bleeding events, supporting cryobiopsy as a feasible, safe alternative to conventional forceps biopsy.

Use of the Ion Robot in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Nodules: Fine Needle Aspiration Versus Cryobiopsy. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Robotic‐assisted bronchoscopy platforms provide an innovative approach to the sampling of pulmonary nodules. As compared to other technologies, fiber‐optic shape‐sensing instrumentation allows for a more precise, accurate location and sampling of the target lesion with fewer complications.

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

For undiagnosed pleural effusion, diagnostic yields and safety were similar between pleuroscopic cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy, but cryobiopsy obtained a larger pleural tissue sample than forceps biopsy.

Rapid Onset of Mesalazine‐Induced Eosinophilic Pneumonia Manifesting 7 Days After Initiation: A Case Report [PDF]
We report a case of rapid‐onset drug‐induced eosinophilic pneumonia where symptoms manifested 7 days after initiation of mesalazine and resolved without corticosteroid therapy. Clinical implications are discussed based on a review of the relevant literature. ABSTRACT Mesalazine is a recognised cause of drug‐induced eosinophilic pneumonia. The condition

Bronchial Chondronecrosis After Proton Beam Therapy Successfully Treated With Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. [PDF]
This report describes a patient with bronchial chondronecrosis after proton beam therapy. Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy was useful for diagnosis, and the patient was successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. ABSTRACT Airway chondronecrosis is a rare but serious manifestation of late radiation‐induced toxicity.

Bleeding risk of transbronchial cryobiopsy compared to transbronchial forceps biopsy in interstitial lung disease – a prospective, randomized, multicentre cross-over trial [PDF]
Background Bronchoscopic cryobiopsy is a new method of bronchoscopic tissue sampling in interstitial lung disease. In case of transbronchial biopsies, the resultant tissue samples are of high quality, and the lung parenchyma seen in the samples is ...

The diagnostic yield of cryobiopsy versus forceps biopsy of malignant endobronchial lesions [PDF]
Background: In patients with endoscopically visible lesions, flexible bronchoscopy with FB is the most frequently used technique to obtain specimens for pathologic analysis with sensitivity of approximately 74%.
