  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of flexible transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) for diagnosing diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD) without using general anesthesia, intubation, or fluoroscopy.
  • The research included 43 patients, resulting in 85 TBCB procedures that yielded 82 valid tissue specimens, with a diverse range of diagnoses identified, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and tuberculosis.
  • The study also monitored complications, finding a low occurrence rate of issues like pneumothorax, thus suggesting TBCB is a safe and effective method for diagnosing DPLD.

Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search on databases including Pubmed and Embase for studies reporting circulating oxidative stress markers in patients with OSA and controls that were published between 1988 and June 2019. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated.
