Abstract The incidence of juvenile‐onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) varies worldwide, and the lack of well‐adopted guidelines for use in China suggests that patients with JORRP do not receive optimal care. In America, where data are available, pediatric patients undergo an average of 4 surgeries annually and a total of >40 surgeries ...

Two-stage Contextual Transformer-based Convolutional Neural Network for Airway Extraction from CT Images [PDF]
Accurate airway extraction from computed tomography (CT) images is a critical step for planning navigation bronchoscopy and quantitative assessment of airway-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The existing methods are challenging to sufficiently segment the airway, especially the high-generation airway, with the constraint of the ...

Pre-anti-flexible bialgebra [PDF]
In this paper, we derive pre-anti-flexible algebras structures in term of zero weight's Rota-Baxter operators defined on anti-flexible algebras, view pre-anti-flexible algebras as a splitting of anti-flexible algebras, introduce the notion of pre-anti-flexible bialgebras and establish equivalences among matched pair of anti-flexible algebras, matched ...

Bronchoscopic evaluation and final diagnosis in patients with chronic non productive cough with normal Chest X ray [PDF]
When a proper detailed history, clinical examination, chest X ray and sputum analysis does not yield a definite diagnosis for the cause of chronic cough, bronchoscopy is indicated.

Classification of Histopathology Images of Lung Cancer Using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) [PDF]
Cancer is the uncontrollable cell division of abnormal cells inside the human body, which can spread to other body organs. It is one of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and NCDs accounts for 71% of total deaths worldwide whereas lung cancer is the second most diagnosed cancer after female breast cancer.

Robin Sequence: From Dilemmas to Developing an Adaptable Standardized Stepwise Approach
ABSTRACT Aim To review the literature to identify key issues causing variation in clinical practice, assess the knowledge gap, and develop a standardised pathway for managing upper airway obstruction (UAO) in infants with Robin sequence (RS). Methods The tripartite framework of evidence‐based practice, which included a systematic review of the ...

British Lung Foundation/United Kingdom primary immunodeficiency network consensus statement on the definition, diagnosis, and management of granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease in common variable immunodeficiency disorders [PDF]
A proportion of people living with common variable immunodeficiency disorders develop granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD). We aimed to develop a consensus statement on the definition, diagnosis, and management of GLILD.

AeroPath: An airway segmentation benchmark dataset with challenging pathology [PDF]
To improve the prognosis of patients suffering from pulmonary diseases, such as lung cancer, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial. The analysis of CT images is invaluable for diagnosis, whereas high quality segmentation of the airway tree are required for intervention planning and live guidance during bronchoscopy.

Bronchoscopic findings of flexible bronchoscopy: a one-year retrospective study in a tertiary care hospital [PDF]
Background: Since the introduction of the first flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope by Shigeto Ikeda in 1966, fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) has been a valuable tool in the diagnosis of pulmonary diseases.

Background Although oxygen supplementation during bronchoscopy in patients with pre-existing hypoxemia is provided, adequacy of oxygenation may not be achieved, resulting in the occurrence of respiratory failure that requires endotracheal tube intubation.
