Tracheal bronchus is a rare congenital tracheal abnormality that generally refers to the right upper lobe bronchus of the lung that originates from the trachea. Tracheal bronchus is usually asymptomatic and is often accidentally detected by fiberoptic bronchoscopy or computed tomography for other conditions. Depending on the location of the tracheal bronchial opening and possible anatomical variations, the management of 1-lung ventilation in patients with tracheal bronchus is a significant challenge for anesthesiologists. To provide a reference for anesthesiologists to better manage anesthesia in such patients, we review the pathophysiology, definition, and Conacher classification of tracheal bronchus and then discuss the diagnosis of tracheal bronchus and management of 1-lung ventilation during anesthesia according to the Conacher classification.

Background/aim: A standard mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis has been created by intratracheal or intraperitoneal administration of bleomycin. However, a difficulty presented by this traditional method is its high mortality rate of more than 50% after bleomycin administration. In this study, we aimed to establish a unilateral lung disease model and to assess its feasibility and usefulness.

Background: The young onset Tracheal, Bronchus, and Lung Cancer (TBLC) exhibits distinct gene mutations and clinical characteristics. With worsening air pollution, the incidence of young onset TBLC is increasing, resulting in significant economic burdens. The specific epidemiology of the disease burden remains elusive.

Background: The usefulness of bronchoscopy for the diagnosis of NTM pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) has been reported. However, performing bronchoscopy for aspirated sputum and airway secretion specimens (sputum aspirate specimens) in the region extending from the trachea down to the orifice of each segmental bronchus has been poorly documented. We evaluated the diagnostic yield of sputum aspirate specimens collected from the central airway using bronchoscopy.

Background: Tracheal Bronchus and Lung cancers (TBL) represent one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide. This study aimed to examine the disease and economic burden of TBL cancers in 185 countries worldwide in 2022.
Methods: The estimates of TBL cancer incidence and mortality (counts and age-standardized rates) were obtained from the GLOBOCAN 2022 data produced by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
