Article Synopsis
- The American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology aims to keep clinicians informed with brief, current reviews on essential interventional pulmonology topics, starting with malignant pleural disease.
- The article consists of three parts that update readers on malignant pleural effusion: diagnosis through imaging and fluid biomarkers, management strategies including multimodal approaches and targeted therapies, and details on pleural mesothelioma.
- These reviews are part of the Essential Knowledge series presented at the 2023 AABIP Annual Conference, and recorded lectures are available for access on the AABIP website.
Since the publication of a sham-controlled, randomized trial (AIR2) and subsequent marketing approval by the US Food and Drug Administration, we have significantly advanced our understanding of bronchial thermoplasty (BT)'s scientific basis, long-term safety, clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness. In particular, the last 2 years have witnessed multiple research publications on several of these counts. In this review, we critically appraise our evolving understanding of BT's biologic underpinnings and clinical impact, offer an evidence-based patient workflow guide for the busy pulmonologist and highlight both current challenges as well as potential solutions for the researcher and the clinician.

Clinicians require an understanding of this phenomenon and various risk stratification approaches for recognizing these subjects.
Methods: We examined all Covid-19 patients sent initially to a ward who subsequently required care in the ICU.
Introduction: Stress among medical students induced by academic pressures is on the rise among the student population in Pakistan and other parts of the world. Our study examined the relationship between two different systems employed to assess academic performance and the levels of stress among students at two different medical schools in Karachi, Pakistan.
Methods: A sample consisting of 387 medical students enrolled in pre-clinical years was taken from two universities, one employing the semester examination system with grade point average (GPA) scores (a tiered system) and the other employing an annual examination system with only pass/fail grading.
