Choosing an appropriate access channel for different patients during this operation has become a research focus. Methods Data of bronchoscopic interventions in 201 patients with CAO in which one of endotracheal intubation, laryngeal mask, or rigid bronchoscope were used as the only access channel were retrospectively reviewed. Results The total immediate effective rate was 94.1% (398/423), and the main complications related to the access channels included hypoxemia, elevated arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide, arrhythmia, airway mucosa tear, glottic edema, vocal cord injury, tooth loss, massive bleeding, airway mucosal necrosis, and asphyxia. The incidence of complications was 16.8% (71/423). Glottic edema was the most common complication with an incidence of 7.8% (33/423) and accounted for 46.5% of all complications. Glottic edema only occurred in the laryngeal mask and rigid bronchoscope groups, and the incidence was significantly correlated with the operation time (p < 0.001). Massive bleeding related to the access channel remains the most serious complication. Conclusions Endotracheal intubation, laryngeal mask, and rigid bronchoscope each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The most appropriate access channel should depend on a comprehensive assessment of the patient.","PeriodicalId":12103,"journal":{"name":"Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine","volume":"16 1","pages":"707 - 712"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47478129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Active development of a noninvasive urine-based diagnosis could provide an alternative approach. We reviewed publications covering more than 30 urine biomarkers proposed as significant for TB diagnosis.

Areas covered This review describes studies of non-sputum diagnostic approaches of pulmonary TB based on urine using specific TB biomarkers. The search was performed until December 2021, using terms [Tuberculosis] + [urine] + [biomarkers] in PubMed and Cochrane databases. Publications concerning LAM urine diagnostics were excluded as they have been described elsewhere. Expert opinion Microbiological culture of sputum is considered to be the ‘gold standard’ diagnostic for pulmonary TB but the methodology is slow due to the slow growth of the TB bacteria. Urine provides a large volume of sample. Investigators have evaluated urine for either TB pathogen biomarkers or host biomarkers with some success as the review demonstrates. Detection sensitivity remains a significant problem. In future, combination of host and pathogen biomarkers could increase the sensitivity and specificity of TB diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":12103,"journal":{"name":"Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine","volume":"16 1","pages":"615 - 621"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46412645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The clinical, laboratory and imaging features and the prognosis were analyzed and compared between those with and without bronchiectasis. Results Bronchiectasis was present in 48/212 (22.6%) of our AAV patients, among whom 41 were confirmed in 210 patients (19.5%) who received chest HRCT at the initial diagnosis of AAV.

Areas covered This article reviews the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis in the setting of rheumatoid arthritis as well as the current and future therapeutic options. Expert opinion Pulmonary fibrosis in the setting of RA-ILD is an example of genotype–environment interaction and involves multiple mechanisms including autoimmunity, inflammation, and fibrogenesis. Although ILD conveys most of the exceeding mortality in RA patients, there are no official guidelines for the management of RA-ILD. Attention should be paid to potential lung toxicity of RA treatment even though some of them might help stabilize the ILD. Current standard of care is often composed of glucocorticoids that may be associated with immunosuppressive therapy.
