Abstract Trauma is a major cause of death worldwide. Interventional radiology provides set minimally invasive and effective options that are being integrated as part the multidisciplinary care plan offered to trauma patient. However, there still lot areas development need be explored. This article reviews current role endovascular interventions in setting, latest efforts find optimum ways use them highlights knowledge gaps literature.

A rapid, highly sensitive, and qualitative diagnostic test will significantly reduce the incidence of tuberculosis (TB). GeneXpert is that supposed to play this role with those specifications. Our goal was assess precision in diagnosis pulmonary TB. This cross-sectional analytic study carried out at Assiut University Hospital collaboration Chest Hospital, Assiut, Egypt. total 67 patients suspected TB were included. For microbiological examination, two sputum samples obtained from each...

Hemogram or complete blood count (CBC) is one of essential laboratory tests either in the diagnosis assessment community acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients. To assess role leukocyte and platelet determination severity outcome CAP. This a prospective descriptive study which was done on 95 patients aged ⩾18 years, who were diagnosed to have Clinical, chest radiographic finding data collected for each patient. Assessment CAP using Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) CRB-65 score (the confusion,...

Background There is no doubt about the diagnostic role of GenXpert test in pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Nevertheless, few data are available with regard to use this assay nonsputum clinical samples when investigating suspected extrapulmonary TB such as pleural effusion. Objective The aim study was evaluate accuracy GeneXpert diagnosis tuberculous effusion (TPE). Patients and methods This cross-sectional analytic carried out at Assiut University Hospital collaboration Chest Hospital, Assiut,...

Ultrasound guided forceps for pleural biopsy is a technique that can cover the diagnostic yield gap between needle of pleura and thoracoscopy or thoracotomy. This enables operator to take from multiple sites. Study objectives were: (1) describe ultrasound as not in common use our practice obtain biopsy. (2) To evaluate this undiagnosed exudative effusion. study included 96 patients admitted Chest Department – Assiut University Hospital during period March 2010 January 2012. All had effusion...

Unfortunately information about the cancer epidemiological findings and literature is scant in Egypt lung not away from this. However, there are growing serious efforts for data registry networking. This study aimed at evaluating epidemiological, clinical, radiological, bronchoscopic pathological profiles of primary patient's outcome Assiut University Hospitals. Retrospective conducted upon patients with that referred to Hospital (Chest Department Clinical Oncology Department) medical...

In this prospective study, we aimed to report our experience with the diagnostic utility of transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) in patients malignant endobronchial lesions detected during routine bronchoscopy. Ninety-four were enrolled. TBNA and conventional techniques (CDTs: forceps biopsy, brushing, washing) performed all patients. Endobronchial classified into exophytic mass (EMLs), submucosal disease (SD), peribronchial (PD). The yields CDT alone together compared according lesions’...

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous pneumothorax (PTX) is a diagnostic challenge in aviators given the common occurrence of musculoskeletal pain after flight and notorious underreporting symptoms other diseases this group. CASE REPORT: A 24-yr-old active duty F/A-18 Weapon Systems Officer performed an anti-G straining maneuver (AGSM) response to 6.5-g warm-up turn during training at 16,000 ft (4876.8 m) above sea level. He immediately developed right-sided thoracic back pain. The was terminated, he...

In dealing with septated pleural effusion, intrapleural fibrinolytics may be a useful alternative for others such as use of video assisted thoracic surgery or the conventional thoracotomy. The safer, easier and cost effective management option that can promote fluid drainage. To evaluate role streptokinase fibrinolytic agent in effusion adhesions. This study was designed case series prospective manner. Twenty-five patients were included study. All admitted at Chest Department, Assiut...

To identify risk factors for and outcomes in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).

Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) Simplified Score (SAPS scoring systems are the two models that greatly used by majority of ICUs to predict clinical consequence. The aim study was assess performance APACHE SAPS methods in foreseeing death among critically ill chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. This prospective research included 104 COPD patients who were admitted respiratory intensive care unit (RICU) at Assiut University Hospital. classified...

Pleural effusion is considered an interesting clinical problem that commonly faced by physicians and caused several diseases. The ability of computed tomography (CT) to differentiate transudate from exudate still under research. aim this study was assess the accuracy CT in diagnosing nature pleural effusion. In prospective cross-sectional analytic study, laboratory biochemistry markers were used classify into or based on Light’s criteria. Chest without contrast had been done for all...

<h3></h3> Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard method for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention. 'Virtual' FFR (vFFR) offers a less-invasive alternative but accuracy critically dependent on accurate 3D arterial reconstruction. This especially challenging with angiography-based solutions due to practical challenges relating image acquisition, notably table movement between acquisitions. Some existing methods rely upon restricting movement, this poses difficulty in clinical...

Context Intrapleural adhesions and pleural fluid loculation is a common clinical problem. Several options are available to manage the intrapleural adhesions. MESNA has recently been used as fibrinolytic agent due its efficacy safety it an option in treating instead of other fibrinolytics. Aims To assess management loculated effusions. Settings design A prospective case series study at Chest Department, Assiut University Hospital from October 2017 March 2020. Patients methods conducted on 25...

Aim: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is now a gold standard in treating early-stage empyema, while much debate still exists considering the effectiveness of this approach for late-stage empyema. Most concerns arise from crowded rib cage, narrow working space, and ability to free trapped lungs quickly, mainly if uniportal VATS used. However, unlike lobectomy, there no consensus about steps decortication ensure smooth effective surgery. We try offer standard, easy-to-replicate...

Encouraging positive diagnostic yields in malignant pleural effusion could be obtained by brushing performed through two techniques, the first was closed and second thoracoscopic. Until now ultrasound guided is not included within these techniques its yield therefore evaluated. So aim of this study to evaluate procedure contributions as a technique used previously interventional pulmonology practice obtain specimen for cytological examination effusion. This prospective conducted Chest...
