Clozapine-induced lymphocytic alveolitis.

To report a case of fulminant shock and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema induced by intravenously administered dipyridamole.

Dipyridamole-associated shock and pulmonary edema.

Pneumomediastinum and pneumopericardium after endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration.

The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of a handheld digital manometer (DM) and U-tube (UT) manometer with an electronic transducer (ET) manometer during thoracentesis.

Comparison of pleural pressure measuring instruments.

There are an increased number of pulmonary nodules discovered on CT scan images in part due to those performed for lung cancer screening. Risk stratification and patient involvement is critical in determining management ranging from interval imaging to invasive biopsy or surgery. A definitive diagnosis requires tissue biopsy. The choice of a particular biopsy technique depends on the risks/benefits of the procedure, the diagnostic yield and local expertise. This review will focus on the evaluation and management of pulmonary nodules based on the Fleischner Society and American College of Chest Physician guidelines. There have been recent changes to both societies' recommendations for incidental detection of solid and subsolid nodules, risk stratification, imaging, minimally invasive diagnostic techniques and definitive surgical options.

Diagnosis and management of pulmonary nodules.

Complications associated with the use of the amplatzer device for the management of tracheoesophageal fistula.

Interventional pulmonology (IP) is a maturing subspecialty of pulmonary medicine focused on advanced diagnostic and therapeutic pulmonary and thoracic medical procedures for a variety of illnesses. This rapidly growing field requires highly specific knowledge and skill sets beyond its parent specialty. While the future of IP will continue to show growth, we postulate on a few upcoming technologies which may influence the field and discuss some of the challenges associated with growth in IP.

The future of interventional pulmonology.

The indwelling tunneled pleural catheter has altered the management of patients with dyspnea related to malignant pleural effusions. Indwelling tunneled pleural catheter placement does not remain free from risk; with infection the most commonly reported risk.
