BRONCHOTRICHOSIS: A NEWLY EVOLVING LUNG PATHOLOGY?

Evolving concepts in extra-articular hip pathology

The ISHA Annual Meeting in Rio de Janeiro 2014 provided fresh insight into extra-articular hip pathology and evolving treatments. The Instructional Course Lecture -2 was given the opportunity to present the lecture series in a published format in the Journal for Hip Preservation Surgery. Extra-articular procedures involve the osseous, capsulolabral, musculotendinous, neurovascular and kinematic...

Pathology of lung cancer.

Microscopic examination of stained smears and tissue sections remains the standard method for definitive diagnosis and classification of lung cancer. However, the morphology of lung cancer is complex, and consensus classifications such as those prepared by a panel World Health Organization (WHO) are required for the sake of consistency and clinical relevance. In the most recent (1999) WHO class...

Pathology of lung cancer.

This article reviews current concepts in pathologic classification of lung cancer based on 1999 World Health Organization (WHO)/International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) classification. Preinvasive lesions including squamous dysplasia/carcinoma in situ, atypical adenomatous hyperplasia and diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia are discussed in additio...

Induced sputum: a window to lung pathology.

Sputum is recognized as a sampling method for the monitoring and assessment of chronic lung diseases such as asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and cystic fibrosis. Sputum samples the central airways and its protein components (e.g. mucins and cytokines), cellular components (e.g. eosinophils and neutrophils) and microbiological components (e.g. viruses and bacteria) can be us...
