The bronchoalveolar lavage dilution conundrum: an updated view on a long-standing problem.
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol
November 2024
Department of Medicine, University of Colorado, Aurora, Colorado, United States.
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is used by researchers to study molecular interactions within healthy and diseased human lungs. However, the utility of BAL fluid measurements may be limited by difficulties accounting for dilution of the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) sampled and inconsistent collection techniques. The use of endogenous markers to estimate ELF dilution has been proposed as a potential method to normalize acellular molecule measurements in BAL fluid, but these markers are also imperfect and prone to inaccuracy.

Article Synopsis
- A long-standing foreign body in the bronchus is rare, often obscured by other health issues and lack of clear patient history.
- The study details three cases of patients with recurrent lower respiratory infections, where initial exams and chest X-rays didn't reveal any significant problems, but CT scans identified foreign bodies in the airway.
- It concludes that patients with ongoing respiratory symptoms, despite treatment, should get a thorough evaluation through bronchoscopy and imaging, even if they don't show clear obstructive signs.
Organized blood clot masquerading as endobronchial tumor: A review of management and recent advances.

Central airway obstruction, a frequently encountered emergency, is usually associated with blood clots, tumors, foreign bodies or mucus plugs. Airway obstruction due to blood clots can be seen as a complication of lung malignancies, infections, bronchiectasis, arteriovenous malformations or pulmonary infarction. In patients with long standing blood clots, the thrombus gets organized and firmly adherent to the airway.

Tracheobronchial foreign body (TFB) aspiration is a common occurrence in children compared with adults. Long-standing cases of TFB aspiration during childhood presenting in an adult have rarely been reported. We report the unique case of an endobronchial Playmobil traffic cone that went undetected for 40 years and presented as a suspected bronchogenic carcinoma.
