Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn abou Whether patients undergoing mediastinal disease diagnosis and combined treatment with intrapacial ultrasound-guided mediastinal opening techniques have greater clinical benefit. The participants were physically ill. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether the mediastinal ultrasound-guided mediastinal opening technique is more beneficial for the diagnosis of benign or malignant mediastinal diseases. - Does the mediastinal ultrasound-guided mediastinal opening technique benefit the patient by ablating mediastinal masses using freezing, laser, or other means. Mediastinal diseases were diagnosed by lymph node biopsy combined with NGS, ROSE and other techniques using transairway ultrasound-guided mediastinal opening technique. Ablation of mediastinal malignancies is performed using techniques such as freezing or laser. Researchers will compare the experimental group with mediastinal opening and the control group without mediastinal opening to see if Mediastinal open technique benefits patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and verify the auxiliary role of the artificial intelligence system in mediastinal ultrasound endoscopic scanning. The main questions it aims to answer are as follows: 1.The comparison of the image recognition accuracy between the artificial intelligence system and the ultrasound endoscopist; 2. Whether the artificial intelligence system can improve the efficiency of the mediastinum scanning for the ultrasound endoscopist. Participants will undergo mediastinal EUS with or without the assistance of the artificial intelligence system.
The mediastinum can be the site of benign or malignant tumors, including 10 to 20% of hematological malignancies. Mediastinal mass syndrome (MMS) includes symptoms due to irritation, invasion or compression of the organs of the mediastinum. This syndrome includes respiratory manifestations that may be secondary to compression of the tracheobronchial tree, venous vascular manifestations with the superior vena cava syndrome or arterial manifestations, cardiac manifestations, digestive or nervous manifestations. The management of a mediastinal syndrome is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency requiring the collaboration of several disciplines in order to achieve the most effective but least deleterious way possible to diagnostic imaging, etiological biopsy, and the possible implementation of life-saving symptomatic measures before the initiation of etiological treatment. Diagnostic thoracic imaging relies primarily on thoracic computed tomography (CT) to determine the size and nature of the mediastinal mass, the presence and extent of tracheobronchial or great vessel compression, the presence of pleural and/or pericardial effusion, pulmonary embolism, parenchymal lesions, and possibly subdiaphragmatic lesions. However, the potential severity of MMS is often under-diagnosed in adult patients, particularly in the context of hematologic malignancy. Indeed, we have very little literature on the initial management of these patients at risk. The present study propose to conduct the first multicenter study to analyze the characteristics (clinical, scanographic, echocardiographic, hematological and resuscitation) of the initial management of patients with symptomatic MMS at diagnosis or at relapse of a patient with MH admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Endpoints (Outcome measures)： 1. Primary endpoint: Incidence of conversion rate during surgery - The primary performance endpoint will be assessed as the ability to successfully complete the planned mediastinal procedure with da Vinci SP System, with no conversion to open surgery, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), multi-port robotic surgery or approach requiring undocking of the da Vinci SP Surgical System in order to complete the planned procedure using the alternate approach. Use of additional assistant port(s) is not considered a conversion 2. Secondary endpoints: Incidence of treatment related adverse events - The safety endpoint will be assessed as the incidence of all intra-operative and post-operative adverse events that occur through the 30-day follow up period
The investigators will compare endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) with intranodal forceps biopsy (EBUS-IFB) as it relates to the rate of diagnosis of suspected sarcoidosis.
This proposed study is unique in that patients will not undergo computed tomography (CT) simulation at any point during their treatment course and will instead have same-session magnetic resonance (MR)-only simulation and treatment planning, on-table, using the adaptive radiotherapy (ART) workflow. In this manner, patients requiring urgent treatment could initiate treatment as early as the day of initial radiation oncology consultation.
Sarcoidosis is a benign, inflammatory condition which will typically involve the lungs and lymph glands in the chest. Diagnosis is often confirmed with bronchoscopic biopsy. A new method of performing bronchoscopic biopsy of lymph glands in the chest has now been developed which uses real-time endobronchial ultrasonography to better locate the lymph glands. While this technique has been proven to be effective in the diagnosis and staging of lung malignancy, its sensitivity for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis is unclear as smaller samples are obtained compared to the standard approach. This study will aim to randomize 50 patients with a clinical suspicion of sarcoidosis to standard biopsy vs. endobronchial ultrasound guided biopsy of the mediastinal lymph glands in order to compare the sensitivity of these tests for sarcoidosis.
