Newest firstBackground/Objectives: The correlation between drugs and interstitial lung disease (ILD) is reported, but the presence of the substances of abuse in the lung as a cause of disease has never been proved. In this observational study, our aim was to evaluate a possible correlation between ILD radiological findings and cannabinoids presence in broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) or in resected lung tissue in patients with a…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Non-necrotising granulomas are the histological hallmark of sarcoidosis and chronic beryllium disease (CBD). Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), transbronchial lung forceps biopsy (TBLB) and endobronchial biopsy (EBB) are often used as standard methods for obtaining suitable tissue. Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is a novel biopsy technique well studied…
Importance e-Cigarette, or vaping, product use-associated lung injury (EVALI) has caused more than 2800 illnesses and 68 deaths in the United States. Better characterization of this novel illness is needed to inform diagnosis and management. Objective To describe the clinical features, bronchoscopic findings, imaging patterns, and outcomes of EVALI. Design, setting, and participants This case series of 31 adult pa…
Background An outbreak of E-cigarette or Vaping Product Use-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI) with significant morbidity and mortality was reported in 2019. While most patients with EVALI report vaping tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) oils contaminated with vitamin E acetate, a subset report only vaping with nicotine-containing electronic cigarettes (e-cigs). Whether or not e-cigs cause EVALI, the outbreak highlights the n…
Open article record in new tab ↗The adverse effects of petrodiesel exhaust exposure on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems are well recognized. While biofuels such as rapeseed methyl ester (RME) biodiesel may have ecological advantages, the exhaust generated may cause adverse health effects. In the current study, we investigated the responses of bioactive lipid mediators in human airways after biodiesel exhaust exposure using lipidomic pr…
