In 32% of patients operated on the lungs various changes in the tracheobronchial tree develop as early as during the surgical intervention. They are of determining significance in pathogenesis of postoperative disorders in the external breathing function. Bronchoscopy is the most effective method of diagnosis and of timely correction of these disorders during operation on the lungs.

Role of narrow band imaging in assessing bronchial mucosal hypervascularization in COVID-19 patients.

Pneumology Department, University Hospital Centre Amiens-Picardie, Amiens, France; AGIR Unit, University Picardie Jules Vernes, Amiens, France.
Background: SARS-CoV-2 virus which targets the lung vasculature is supposed to affect both pulmonary and bronchial arteries. This study evaluated the tracheobronchial vascularization density observed with narrow band imaging (NBI) in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia. To determine if the observed changes were specific of COVID-19 patients, the procedure was also performed in non-COVID-19 patients.

The influence of peripheral antitussive drugs on spatiotemporal features of coughing has not been reported. We hypothesized that this class of compounds would alter the cough motor pattern, in part, by lengthening cough phases. Peripherally acting antitussives, 3-aminopropylphosphinic acid (3APPi, 5 mg/kg) and levodropropizine (Levo, 3 mg/kg) were injected intravenously in anesthetized spontaneously breathing cats (13 males, 2 females; 4.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate tracheal collapsibility using low-dose 4D CT, comparing the results with traditional methods like inspiratory-expiratory CT and bronchoscopy in patients suspected of tracheal collapse.
- - Researchers analyzed 4D CT scans from 52 patients, finding that 48% exhibited significant tracheal collapsibility (50% or greater) and noted differences between visual 4D CT assessments and other diagnostic methods regarding detection rates of collapsibility.
- - Results showed that 4D CT was superior in identifying patients with severe collapsibility compared to both paired CT and bronchoscopy, with significant differences in collapsibility measurements between the groups assessed.

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Binzhou Medical University Hospital, 661 Yellow River Road, Binzhou, 256603, China.
Article Synopsis
- A 47-year-old Asian woman experienced worsening chest tightness and difficulty breathing for 10 days, prompting her admission to the hospital.
- CT scans revealed changes in her trachea and bronchi, and tests indicated severe obstructive ventilatory dysfunction.
- Further bronchoscopic examinations and biopsies confirmed a diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), classified as Binet stage B and Rai stage 2.
The Great Role of Ventilator Parameters in Diagnosis of Right Main Bronchus Rupture Due to Blunt Chest Trauma.
Bull Emerg Trauma
January 2024
Trauma Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- Bronchial rupture should be considered in cases of significant air leaks from intercostal drain tubes after major chest trauma, as indicated by X-rays and CT scans.
- A case study of a 15-year-old boy involved in a car accident showed severe chest injuries, including rib fractures and pneumothorax, but no clear signs of bronchial rupture were found.
- Mechanical ventilation parameters indicated low pressures and tidal volume, which may signal bronchial rupture as a critical complication of blunt chest trauma.
