    Abstract Coronavirus-related disease (COVID-19) can result in relative bradycardia; however, there are no reports on relative bradycardia in patients with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 who require oxygen. We retrospectively investigated 45 patients with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 and examined the relationship between heart rate and body temperature at the time of initiating oxygen or mechanical ventilation. For three consecutive days after initiating oxygen therapy, body temperature (day's highest temperature), heart rate, and other vital signs were measured simultaneously. We checked for relative bradycardia and analyzed the differences between patients with moderate COVID-19 (oxygen requirement ≤ 5 L/min) and those with severe COVID-19 (oxygen requirement ≥ 5 L/min). Of the 45 patients, 28 and 17 had moderate and severe COVID-19, respectively. The heart rate increased with increasing body temperature, and almost all patients satisfied the criteria of relative bradycardia. In Spearman's rank correlation analysis, body temperature was significantly correlated with heart rate (

    Abstract Broncholithiasis is a rare condition in which lymph nodes, cartilage or inhaled material in the bronchi become calcified. Removal of the broncholith is indicated when it causes symptoms such as hemoptysis and obstructive pneumonia. Although there are various methods for removing broncholiths, no international recommendations exist. We report a case of safe removal of broncholiths using a cryo-probe under rigid bronchoscopy. A 72-year-old man presented with blood-tinged sputum for 5 months. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed collapse of the middle lung lobe. Flexible bronchoscopy demonstrated broncholiths at the orifice of the middle lobe. We successfully removed the broncholiths with a cryo-probe under rigid bronchoscopy without any complications. Our experience suggests that removal of broncholiths can be safely and successfully performed using a cryo-probe under rigid bronchoscopy.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to understand whether the one-time chair stand test (CS-1) is useful for predicting the severity of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in 101 patients admitted to the hospital with acute respiratory failure.
    Methods: This single-centered, prospective observational cohort study enrolled 101 critically ill adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 who underwent the CS-1 as a dynamic evaluation tool in clinical practice between late April 2020 and October 2021. Data on demographic characteristics, symptoms, laboratory values, computed tomography findings, and clinical course after admission were collected. Furthermore, the data was compared, and the association between the intubation and non-intubation groups was determined. We also calculated the cutoff point, area under the curve (AUC), and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the change in oxygen saturation (ΔSpO
    Results: Thirty-three out of 101 patients (33%) were intubated during hospitalization. There was no significant difference in the resting SpO
    Conclusion: For COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure, the CS-1 performed on admission was useful for predicting the severity of COVID-19. Furthermore, the CS-1 can be utilized as a remote and simple evaluation parameter. Thus, it could have potential clinical applications in the future.

    Abstract The prognosis of patients with post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) interstitial lung disease remains unclear. We herein report an autopsy case in which serial progression after the onset of post-COVID-19 interstitial lung disease resulted in an acute exacerbation, leading to a fatal outcome. Autopsy findings included hyaline membrane formation/interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration, suggestive of acute lesions, and severe regional fibrosis, indicating a preexisting chronic condition. In the present case, we histopathologically confirmed the acute exacerbation of post-COVID-19 interstitial lung disease.

    Abstract Background: When evaluating peripheral pulmonary lesions, a 3.0-mm ultrathin bronchoscope (UTB) with a 1.7-mm working channel is advantageous regarding good access to the peripheral airway, whereas a 4.0-mm thin bronchoscope provides a larger 2.0-mm working channel, which allows the use of various instruments including a guide sheath (GS), larger forceps, and an aspiration needle. This study compared multimodal bronchoscopy using a UTB and a thin bronchoscope with multiple sampling methods for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions.
    Methods: Patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions ≤ 30 mm in diameter were recruited and randomized to undergo endobronchial ultrasonography, virtual bronchoscopy, and fluoroscopy-guided bronchoscopy using a 3.0-mm UTB (UTB group) or a 4.0-mm thin bronchoscope (thin bronchoscope group). In the thin bronchoscope group, the use of small forceps with a GS or standard forceps without the GS was permitted. In addition, needle aspiration was performed for lesions into which an ultrasound probe could not be inserted.
    Results: A total of 360 patients were enrolled, and 356 were included in the analyses (median largest lesional diameter, 19 mm). The overall diagnostic yield was significantly higher in the UTB group than in the thin bronchoscope group (70.1% vs 58.7%, respectively; P = .027). The procedure duration was significantly shorter in the UTB group (median, 24.8 vs 26.8 min, respectively; P = .008). The complication rates were 2.8% and 4.5%, respectively (P = .574).
    Conclusions: Multimodal bronchoscopy using a UTB afforded a higher diagnostic yield than that using a thin bronchoscope in the diagnosis of small peripheral pulmonary lesions.

    Abstract The patient was a 75-year-old man who developed polyopia and exophthalmos. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a mass in the left upper lobe. A CT-guided biopsy suggested lung adenocarcinoma. He was treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by left upper lobectomy. He was diagnosed with stage IIB pleomorphic carcinoma postoperatively. Preoperative head magnetic resonance imaging revealed exophthalmos and bilateral swelling of the extraocular muscles. The thyroid function of the patient was within the normal range, and he tested negative for autoantibodies. As his symptoms and swelling of the extraocular muscles improved postoperatively, he was diagnosed with paraneoplastic syndrome.

    Abstract A 68-year-old man visited a physician with a chief complaint of difficulty breathing. Right pleural effusion was noted, and he was referred to our department for a close examination and treatment. Thoracoscopy was performed under local anesthesia, and pleural dissemination of lung adenocarcinoma was noted, so a chest drain was placed. Since poor right lung inflation persisted and whole right lung torsion was observed on computed tomography, thoracoscopy-assisted thoracotomic reduction of lung torsion was performed. In this patient, the right middle lobe and anterior chest wall were adhered, suggesting that whole right lung torsion occurred when atelectasis was formed due to pleural effusion.
