The effect of concurrent acetylsalicylic acid on hemorrhagic complications during percutaneous image-guided lung biopsy.

Background: CT-guided trans-thoracic lung biopsy (CT-TTLB) is efficient and widely used to diagnose pulmonary nodules. After pneumothorax, the second most frequent complication is hemoptysis, which can be life-threatening. These patients often have comorbidities and are on acetylsalicylic-acid (ASA) therapy.

Artificial intelligence-driven volumetric CT outcome score in cystic fibrosis: longitudinal and multicenter validation with/without modulators treatment.

Objectives: Holistic segmentation of CT structural alterations with 3D deep learning has recently been described in cystic fibrosis (CF), allowing the measurement of normalized volumes of airway abnormalities (NOVAA-CT) as an automated quantitative outcome. Clinical validations are needed, including longitudinal and multicenter evaluations.

Materials And Methods: The validation study was retrospective between 2010 and 2023.

Managing Microbiota Activity of with Probiotic (Bactocell) and Antimicrobial (Fumidil B) Treatments: Effects on Spring Colony Strength.

Against a backdrop of declining bee colony health, this study aims to gain a better understanding of the impact of an antimicrobial (Fumidil B, Can-Vet Animal Health Supplies Ltd., Guelph, ON, Canada) and a probiotic (Bactocell, Lallemand Inc., Montreal, QC, Canada) on bees' microbiota and the health of their colonies after wintering.

[Imaging of actinomycosis: CT scan, bronchial embolization and pathology].

Pulmonary actinomycosis is a rare infectious disease that can be difficult to diagnose due to nonspecific imaging abnormalities and to a need for repeated lung sampling by CT-guided biopsy or bronchoscopy. It may present with hemoptysis, which can occur with or without antibiotic therapy and bronchial artery embolization may be required. We report here a case of pulmonary actinomycosis with imaging by thoracic CT, digital subtraction angiography, and pathological specimens.
