Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths in most countries. It can frequently be mimicked by other nonmalignant pulmonary lesions; and therefore, in the case of radiologically localized lesions a pathological diagnosis is preferable before proceeding to surgical resection. Curvilinear probe endobronchial ultrasound is widely used to sample lymph nodes, but in this case, we report that it can be beneficial for sampling parenchymal lung lesions not accessible at bronchoscopy in the absence of lymphadenopathy.

Ultrasound probe quality assurance is an underserved and underregulated area in medical imaging. While several testing methods exist, their availability and adoption remains varied, and the frequency of testing is often insufficient. Here we aimed to conduct a user-driven simple and rapid probe quality testing approach and to evaluate its rationale.

Background Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, especially its dreaded complication preeclampsia, remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality for both the mother and the fetus. Existing tools for the prediction of preeclampsia remain inadequate in their sensitivity and specificity. Hence, there is an urgent need for a reliable, economically feasible, and objective marker for its diagnosis/early prediction.

Background The spleen, a key immunological organ, plays a crucial role in filtering aged or damaged red blood cells. Splenomegaly, an enlargement of the spleen, can arise from a variety of physiological and pathological conditions, including hematological disorders, hepatic diseases, and infections. Accurate diagnosis and evaluation of splenomegaly are essential for effective treatment.
