Article Synopsis
- Lung cancer ranks as the top cause of cancer-related deaths globally, making accurate biopsies essential for diagnosis and analysis.
- Guidelines suggest using endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for staging lung cancer, but its limited sample size may hinder the diagnosis of rare thoracic tumors.
- A new technique called transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy shows promise in improving diagnostic outcomes, as demonstrated by a case where it successfully diagnosed a rare thoracic tumor alongside EBUS-TBNA.
Nickel-containing wastewater is a serious hazard to water environment, so that it is a burning issue to find an efficient and environment-friendly adsorbent. The conventional biochar could not effectively adsorb nickel (Ni(II)), so our study focuses on exploring the adsorption of chemically modified biochar to Ni(II). In this study, the biochar derived from waste peanut shell was modified by KMnO and KOH (MBC).

In this analysis, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hybrid ablation, as well as compare the outcomes of one-step and staged approaches.
Methods: We conducted a search in major online databases and selected the studies that met the inclusion criteria.
Background: Currently, the cornerstone of asthma management is the achievement and maintenance of optimal asthma control, but the diagnostic performances of the Asthma Control Test (ACT) and Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) have not been evaluated systematically.
Objective: We explored the diagnostic performances of and statistically compared the ACT and ACQ.
Methods: Studies that examined the accuracy of the ACT, ACQ, or both in the assessment of asthma control were found by searching PubMed, CENTRAL, Web of Science, Ovid, and Embase.
