bronchoscopy

The Percepta GSC study involved 412 lung-nodule patients whose results were inconclusive following bronchoscopy, a common nonsurgical procedure to assess lung nodules for cancer.

Summary: The growing incidence of bronchial diseases such as lung cancer is the second-most significant driver of the electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy market.

Interventional Bronchoscopy and Pleuroscopy: A Book of Case Studies with Videos

Tampa, FL, March 28, 2019 --(PR.com)-- The Society for Advanced Bronchoscopy (SAB) is pleased to announce its membership in the World Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (WABIP).

Interventional bronchoscopy has rapidly gained a wide area in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in both malignant and nonmalignant lesions during the last decades.

In recent years, with the development of respiratory endoscopy techniques, bronchoscopy that allows direct visualization of trachea and bronchi has been widely used and has become the major means of removal of airway foreign body.

Therefore, it is necessary to use diagnostic tools such as fibreoptic bronchoscopy to get an accurate diagnosis of underlying cause in a patient presenting with collapse on chest radiograph or CT chest.

The researchers found that the vaper airways appeared friable and erythematous on visual inspection by bronchoscopy. Approximately 300 proteins were differentially expressed in epithelial cells from biopsy samples in smoker and vaper airways, only 78 proteins were commonly altered in both groups, and 113 were uniquely altered in vapers.

If a patient is not responding to medical management for presumed croup, the otolaryngology team is occasionally consulted for direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy (DLB) to rule out tracheitis or another airway pathology.
