In seven patients with nonmalignant disease, we bronchoscopically observed various types of bronchial arterial lesions that may have caused hemorrhage. Five of the seven showed a bulging lesion, and the other two demonstrated an intrabronchial mass. We also examined these seven patients using selective bronchial arteriography. Herein we report our comparative study of the bronchoscopic findings...

There are studies indicating that bronchial asthma opd to pdf online is often underdiagnosed, while only a. Diagnosis of bronchial asthma is not always easy.The primary pathophysiological problem in life-threatening asthma is expiratory gas-flow limitation. As a result of greater bronchial inflammation and mucous secretion, this group occurring more frequently in females. ExtractFree Full Text ...

Information about the existence and anatomy of arterial anastomoses with the porcine bronchial artery is lacking in the literature. Prior to basic physiological investigations in a porcine model related to lung transplantation with bronchial artery revascularisation, this study was designed to examine the anatomy of systemic arterial anastomoses with the bronchial artery system. Twenty pigs wer...

Introduction: Narrow band imaging (NBI) video bronchoscopy provides better visualisation of submucosal vascular patterns in malignant airway lesions compared to white light bronchoscopy. This analytical cross-sectional study was aimed look for any relationship between these NBI and the histologic type lung cancer. Material methods: After screening 78 patients with suspected cancer, 53 subjects ...

The bronchial vasculature is the systemic arterial blood supply to the lung. Although small relative to the pulmonary blood flow, the bronchial vasculature serves important functions and is modified in a variety of pulmonary and airway diseases. Congestion of the bronchial vasculature may narrow the airway lumen in inflammatory airway diseases, and formation of new bronchial vessels (angiogenes...

Seventeen patients using angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors for hypertension were evaluated with baseline spirometry followed by determination of bronchial reactivity by challenge with methacholine. There were nine coughers and eight noncoughers in the study. Among the nine coughers, eight demonstrated bronchial hyperreactivity. Conversely, none of the noncoughers disclosed bronchia...

BACKGROUND Flexible bronchoscopy with bronchial washing is a useful procedure for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), when a patient cannot produce sputum spontaneously or when sputum smears are negative. However, the benefit of gaining serial bronchial washing specimens for diagnosis of TB has not yet been studied. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective study to determine the diagnostic...

The lymphatic vessels of the lung provide an important route for clearance of interstitial edema fluid filtered from pulmonary blood vessels. However, the importance of lung lymphatics for the removal of airway liquid filtered from the systemic circulation of the lung has not been demonstrated. We studied the contribution of the bronchial vasculature to lung lymph flow in anesthetized, ventilat...

Patterns in radiological images can help with the identification and differential diagnosis of selected processes.1,2 Such signs should be recognizable, having a characteristic appearance that can identified. Several radiological signs can be of use when diagnosing pulmonary pathology: the crazy-paving sign, the golden "S," the gloved finger, the halo sign, the deep sulcus sign, the incomplete ...

due to an adenocarcinoma of the right upper lobe with infiltration of the main bronchus a 49-years-old female patient underwent an upper bilobectomy with sleeve resection. after two completed chemotherapy bouts and signs of sepsis another thoracotomy was inevitable.  as a complicating factor a supracarinal, necrotic and perforating lesion of the trachea appeared. the defect can be initially rep...
