INTRODUCTION Within the last years one discusses more and more about the association of the cytological examination with the histological one, becoming an important complementary examination. Casebook record. 163 patients were taken in the study, age between 37-79 years old, who showed clinical and radiological signs of broncho-pulmonary cancer. At all the patients a fibro-bronchoscopic examina...

We applied energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence to the determination of abnormally present elements or abnormal concentrations of elements in human broncho-alveolar lavage fluids. The low detection limits and the ability to perform multi-elemental analysis permit one to establish or confirm occupational exposure of workers. We also describe different methods used to check our method and our res...

Fibreoptic broncho-alveolar lavage was used in four patients; the diagnosis of histiocytosis X had been established by lung biopsy in three and was suggested on clinical grounds in the remaining patient. Characteristic cells with an ultrastructural cytoplasmic marker (X body) were found in the washes of all four patients. In the patient without biopsy confirmation, the findings in the broncho-a...

There have been recently documented reports of pneumothorax and persistent air leaks as complications associated with SARS CoV-2-related ARDS. Alveolar-pleural fistulas broncho-pleural can lead to the development pneumothorax.

Objective — to acquaint doctors of different profiles with thoracic pathology in patients coronavirus infection.
 Materials and methods. Since the beginning SARSCoV-2 pandemic, on basis clinical department for surgical treatment tuberculosis NZL complicated by purulent septic infections 70 were treated, which 39 (55.7 %) had various broncho-pulmonary purulent-inflammatory complications Res...

Congenital broncho-esophageal fistula (BEF) is a rare anomaly usually detected in adulthood. In one of the latest reviews of this anomaly, no more than 150 cases were found in the world literature. We report our experience with a 49 year old male patient referring with a classic presentation of chronic cough and choking episodes upon liquid intake. Broncho-esophageal fistula was confirmed b...
