Elucidating diagnostic efficacy and safety of the procedure: cryobiopsy of endobronchial lesions with a flexible bronchoscope.

When compared to conventional forceps biopsy, the use of a flexible cryoprobe allows for the sampling of endobronchial lesions, yielding well-preserved, circumferential, and substantial specimens, resulting in a higher diagnostic yield, as demonstrated in multiple studies. We evaluated the utility of cryobiopsy in the diagnosis of endobronchial lesions, as well as its safety profile in this study. This retrospective study included 200 patients who underwent cryobiopsy for bronchoscopically visible endobronchial lesions between March 2016 and July 2022.

Association of serum uric acid levels with glycated haemoglobin in diabetic patients and healthy controls.

Introduction: Uric acid is formed from purine degradation. Hyperuricemia has emerged as a risk factor for various metabolic diseases including Diabetes mellitus (DM). Uric acid may act as a glucometabolic indicator for Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Role of High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein as a Biomarker and Endophenotype in Mania.

To assess the role of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) as a biomarker, trait marker, and endophenotype in mania. Forty patients with mania, 40 of their first-degree relatives, and 30 healthy controls were recruited via a purposive sampling method from May 2020 to February 2021. hs-CRP levels were measured in all groups at baseline.

Approach to pediatric renal tumors: an imaging review.

Renal tumors comprise 7% of all childhood cancers. A wide variety of renal tumors can affect the pediatric kidneys, which can be broadly classified as primary benign tumors, primary malignant tumors, and metastatic lesions. This article aims to enumerate usual benign and malignant renal tumors that can occur in childhood and emphasizes the characteristic imaging appearances which aid in their differential diagnosis.

Determining Angle of Humeral Torsion Using Image Software Technique.

Introduction: Several researches have been done on the measurement of angles of humeral torsion in different parts of the world. Previously described methods were more complicated, not much accurate, cumbersome or required sophisticated instruments.

Aim: The present study was conducted with the aim to determine the angles of humeral torsion with a newer simple technique using digital images and image tool software.
