Abstract

The main focus of the first study is the evaluation of Rapid On-Site Evaluation (ROSE) during Conventional and Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for diagnosing mediastinal lymphadenopathy and lung cancer. The prospective study of 60 cases showed that ROSE improved diagnostic accuracy to 100%, compared to 66.7% without ROSE, by helping exclude inadequate samples and reducing unnecessary procedures. The second study assesses the prevalence of fungal pneumonia among respiratory illness patients, finding a 36.4% prevalence in a cohort of 110 patients with preexisting lung disease and immunosuppression. The third study investigates pulmonary complications following Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT), reporting that 48% of 150 patients experienced pulmonary complications, with bacterial pneumonia being the most common.
