A bronchoscopist's approach for peripheral pulmonary lesions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Diagnosticul leziunilor pulmonare periferice PPL reprezintă o provocare pentru bronhologi. PPL este un nodul pulmonar (tipic sub 3 cm) care este localizat în periferia plămânului. Poate fi solid, subsolid, benign sau malign.

Endobronchial ultrasonography with guide-sheath for peripheral pulmonary lesions [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Journal, 2004
The usefulness of endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) with guide-sheath (GS) as a guide for transbronchial biopsy (TBB) for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL)s and for improving diagnostic accuracy was evaluated in this study.EBUS-GS-guided TBB was performed in 24 patients with 24 PPLs of ≤30 mm in diameter (average diameter=18.4 mm).

Blood vessels and their construction in the cavities of pulmonary tuberculosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1958
First of all, we investigated the origin, the construction and distribution of the bronchial arteries and veins in adult rabbits, and then observed various changes of the blood vessels in experimental cavities and caseous foci and also studied the ...

Pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The current paradigm for the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is that chronic airflow limitation results from an abnormal inflammatory response to inhaled particles and gases in the lung. Airspace inflammation appears to be different

Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions

open access: yesChinese Medical Journal Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, 2023
More peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) are detected by low-dose helical computed tomography (CT) either incidentally or via dedicated lung cancer screening programs. Thus, using methods for safe and accurate diagnosis of these lesions has become increasingly important.

Diagnostic usefulness of bronchoscopy for peripheral pulmonary lesions in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic Disease, 2021
As lung cancers arising in a background of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are known to show high malignancy grades, early pathologic diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) is important. Meanwhile, the risk of complications associated with diagnostic procedures is high, which prompted us to investigate the role of bronchoscopy, a ...
