To date there are no data on sex aspects evaluating outcomes of interventional pneumology (IP). Our aim was to investigate sex differences in transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) outcomes in the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD). All consecutive (TBLC)s performed for ILD evaluation between Nov 17 and Dec 21 at a tertiary referral center for ILDs and IP were analysed. The indication for the procedure was determined by a multidisciplinary discussion (MDD).

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) obtained by noninvasive liquid biopsy from patient blood can serve as biomarkers. Here, we investigated the potential of circulating plasma EVs to serve as an indicator in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment response of glioblastoma patients. Plasma samples were collected from glioblastoma patients at multiple timepoints before and after surgery. EV concentrations were measured by nanoparticle tracking analysis and imaging flow cytometry.
