Exploring Benefits of Non‐Intubated Surgery for Lung Biopsy in Interstitial Lung Disease
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives General anaesthesia with intubation is the standard technique for video‐assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). However, non‐intubated VATS (NIVATS) is emerging as a less invasive alternative, particularly for lung biopsies in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and impaired respiratory function.

Background Radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS) is an effective technique in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL). However, lesion orientation with regards to the radial probe remains an important factor for effective biopsy.

Anti‐RuvBL1/2 Antibodies in Scleromyositis: A Clinicopathological Report of Two Cases
We report two patients with scleromyositis with anti‐RuvBL1/2 antibodies, recently identified rare autoantibodies associated with older age at onset, diffuse sclerodactyly, skeletal and cardiac myositis, and interstitial lung disease (ILD). Both patients showed sclerodactyly and skeletal myositis.

Spatial transcriptomics identifies SPARC as a prognostic marker in interstitial lung diseases
Abstract Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) encompass a diverse group of pulmonary disorders, with progressive fibrosis leading to poor prognosis. Here we aimed to identify key molecules involved in progressive fibrosis across various ILDs, using spatial transcriptomics (ST).

The Paradox of Metachronous Lipoid Pneumonia
This is a case of recurrent exogenous lipoid pneumonia in a single patient caused by multiple unrelated substances. This case underscores the diagnostic value of radiologic patterns, the significance of meticulous exposure history, and the necessity of contemplating alternative aetiologies in patients with new infiltrates during cancer therapy ...

Background: Medical thoracoscopy (rigid and semirigid pleuroscopy) has revolutionized the approach to the diagnosis of pleural disease by offering a very high diagnostic yield. Rigid pleuroscopy offers the advantages of therapeutic intervention and larger biopsy specimens, whereas semirigid pleuroscopy using a standard biopsy ...

Background Bronchoscopic lung biopsies are crucial for diagnosing both endobronchial and parenchymal lung lesions. Forceps biopsy, though standard, is limited by small specimen size, crush artifacts, and reduced diagnostic yield, particularly in ...

Radial Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Cryobiopsy
Background: Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is a novel technique that has proved its diagnostic value in various diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD). However, there is substantial variability among interventional pulmonologists in procedural technique, diagnostic yield, and complication rate.

Cryobiopsy for Secondary Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis
Secondary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (SPAP) is one of the diffuse parenchymal lung diseases, and the utility and safety of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) for diagnosing SPAP are unknown. A case of SPAP diagnosed by TBLC is presented. Specimens that were useful for diagnosis were collected, and there was no adverse event following TBLC.
