Evaluation of the Utility of Liquid-based Cytology, Cell-blocks, and Flow Cytometric Immunophenotyping on Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration Samples in the Diagnosis of Sarcoidosis
Conclusion: Cell-blocks and liquid-based preparations add to the yield of conventional preparation of EBUS-TBNA samples in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. A combination of conventional and LBC works well in detecting almost 85% of the cases of sarcoidosis. Higher CD4:CD8 ratio favors a diagnosis of sarcoidosis.

Assessment of the July Effect on Bronchoscopies in Teaching Hospitals Across the United States
Conclusion: Within the limitation of the national data set provided, there appears to be similar procedural complication rates for patients admitted Q1 compared with Q4 of the academic year in respect to bronchoscopy, signaling the possibility of lack of the July effect. Prospective studies with improved data granularity is needed to further verify the absence or presence of the July effect regarding bronchoscopy.

Dexmedetomidine Versus Midazolam for Sedation During Medical Thoracoscopy: A Pilot Randomized-Controlled Trial (RCT)
Conclusion: The findings of this pilot RCT indicate that dexmedetomidine may be more efficacious than midazolam for sedation in patients undergoing medical thoracoscopy. These observations need to be confirmed in an adequately powered RCT. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)
