3D ENDOSCOPY VIDEO GENERATED USING DEPTH INFERENCE: CONVERTING 2D TO 3D
… with known ellipse parameters and also on real bronchoscopy image sequences from two surgical procedures. Out of 1020 frames tested in total, 688 frames had single vanishing point while 332 frames had two vanishing points. Our algorithm detected the single vanishing point in 653 of the 688 …

Evidence for enhanced oxidative stress in smokers with severe asthma
… were obtained from severe asthma patients. A bronchoscopy to obtain bronchial biopsy (BB) and brushing (BBr) was performed in a subset of patients. Urinary 8-iso-PGF2a was quantified using mass spectrometry. IS, BB and BBr were processed for mRNA expression microarray analysis. Results Urinary …

Assessing Risk Factors, Cost And Mortality Due to Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) Using National Inpatient Sample Data
… deficiency, intracranial injury, tracheostomy, bronchoscopy, UTI, MV of 96 hours or more, extreme clinical severity, transfer from another acute care hospital, small hospitals, and teaching hospital. VAP patients were less likely to die in hospital, both crude and adjusted odds showing similar …

Determination of inhalation injury
… basis of clinical data, blood gas analysis, and bronchoscopy. Cardiopulmonary responses in the immediate post-injury phase of smoke inhalation have not been well delineated. A study of the responses to inhalation injury was undertaken to determine whether selected cardiopulmonary parameters …

Design of a Novel Video-Assisted Tube Over Tube Rigid Bronchoscope for the Removal of Foreign Bodies from the Bronchi Following Aspiration
… who have had prior training in bronchoscopy, but do not practise the procedure. A common FB was placed inside the airway of the trainer, and both scopes were used to retrieve it. The facilitator timed the procedure and observed the participants. Post testing, each participant was …

Die Aussagekraft der bronchoskopisch gewonnenen Lungenzytologie bei der Malignomsuche
• Im Zeitraum vom 01.01.1996 bis zum 31.12.2000 wurden am Pathologischen Institut der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg die bronchoskopisch gewonnenen Proben von 1015 Pat., die unter der Verdachtsdiagnose einer malignen Erkrankung endoskopiert worden waren, zytologisch untersucht. <br>Bei 838 …

Oxidative stress and metal homeostasis at the air-lung interface in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
… Whilst these samples are easier to obtain than bronchoscopy-based lavage, there remains contention concerning how well they reflect the distal airway lining fluids and hence the actual disease state. In the present study, I therefore investigated the oxidative status of bronchoalveolar lavage …

Identifying mutational landscape and inflammatory pathways associated with lung squamous premalignant lesion progression
… our group, bronchial PMLs were obtained through bronchoscopy procedures from a high-risk screening cohort at Roswell Park and subject to a molecular and genomic profiling (Beane et al., 2019). Beane et al. identified four molecular subtypes of PMLs via transcriptional profiling, where one …

Analysis of prognostic and drug resistance markers in lung cancer
… 0.591). Although this demonstrates that historic bronchoscopy samples can be used for such studies, the number of markers studied was limited due to small sample size and in this study there was insufficient tissue to assess expression levels of Ki67. No significant correlations were demonstrated …
