The effects of hypnosis by virtual reality on tolerance to flexible bronchoscopy
CONCLUSION: This study did not observe any effect of VR hypnosis on the tolerance of patients during routine flexible bronchoscopy.

Perception of ENDS among French high school students in Nord and Pas-de-Calais

Following control of the secretory syndrome by adrenolytic treatment, and if the diagnosis of carcinoid tumor is confirmed, surgical treatment is the preferred option.PMID:37633811 | DOI:10.1016/j.rmr.2023.06.007 (Source: Revue des Maladies Respiratoires)
