Comparison of Ultra-Magnifying Endocytoscopic and Hematoxylin-Eosin-Stained Images of Lung Specimens
Endocytoscopy enables real-time observation of lesions at ultra-magnification. In the gastrointestinal and respiratory fields, endocytoscopic images are similar to hematoxylin-eosin-stained images.

Sequential multimodality bronchoscopic investigation of peripheral pulmonary lesions [PDF]
Multiple guidance modalities may be combined during bronchoscopic investigation of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). The relative contribution of each modality to diagnostic performance remains uncertain.Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) with virtual bronchoscopy (VB) was routinely performed, with electromagnetic navigation (EMN) utilised only where ...

Anergic pulmonary tuberculosis is associated with contraction of the Vd2+T cell population, apoptosis and enhanced inhibitory cytokine production. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To study the association of anergic pulmonary tuberculosis with Vδ2(+) T cells and related cytokine levels. METHODS: 82 pulmonary tuberculosis patients were divided into two groups according to their purified protein derivative tuberculin skin

Background: Performing biopsies of peripheral lesions adjacent to the bronchus is challenging. Conventionally, transbronchial needle aspiration of peripheral pulmonary nodules is performed using a radial echo probe; however, the diagnostic yield remains ...

An evaluation of brush biopsy in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions [PDF]
A method of abrasive biopsy of the peripheral bronchial tree is described. Forty-nine patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions have been investigated, and at bronchoscopy brush biopsies have been performed. In 13 cases a firm diagnosis of bronchial carcinoma was made and in nine patients atypical cells were reported.

Background Both endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial biopsy (EBUS‐TBB) and computed tomography‐guided transthoracic needle biopsy (CT‐TTNB) are approaches commonly utilized to diagnose peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs).

Mini-loop ligation of a bleeding duodenal Dieulafoy's lesion [PDF]
Two percent of gastrointestinal hemorrhages are caused by Dieulafoy's lesions, which are located in duodenum in only 15% of cases. There are no recommendations regarding the prime endoscopic treatment technique for this condition.

Background Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) is usually performed for a definite diagnosis. Radial probe endobronchial ultrasonography is often acknowledged as a good guidance method for TBLB as it can help ...
