First-Time ever in Gujarat:

Happy to share performing
Cone-beam CT (CBCT) guided RP-RBUS assisted bronchoscopic cryobiopsy successfully done at Epic Multispecialty Hospital, Ahmedabad with insightful case courtesy from Pulmo collegue Dr. Yash Rana.

Case vignette:
A lady in her fifties with back ache & easy fatigue for 3 months was found to have osseous lytic lesions on MRI Spine. Subsequent PET scan detetected 2.6cm x 2.0cm intensely avid right upper lobe nodule where RB2aii branch was directly leading with SUV max 17.1 along with PET positive subcarinal mediastinal lymphadenopathy.

Decision making:
As the lesion is invisible bronchoscopically & also difficult to detect through C-arm fluoroscopy due to its size & location, CBCT was choosen as it gives real time tool in lesion confirmation.

As lung biopsy will provide more tissue than needle aspirate, the procedures were combined for need of molecular analysis.

Procedure:
Linear EBUS TBNA sampling from subcarinal lymphnode with ROSE followed by CBCT guided radial probe EBUS assisted cryobiopsies were done with thin scope successfully with confirmation of tool in lesion. ROSE confirmed malignancy. Detailed histopathology awaited.

Advantage over conventional CT guided trans-thoracic lung biopsy:
As trans-thoracic CT guided biopsy may have more than 25% chance of creating pneumothorax in bronchocentric lesion like this case, bronchoscopic modality carries less than 5% risk with providing superior bleed control.

Why a milestone & historic event?
With first-ever case, Gujarat has become the one of few Indian states offering this advanced technology.

CBCT Bronchoscopy era holds exciting future of Pulmo-Onco adding 4th dimension to existing (Chemo/Radio/Surgery) ones, to offer therapeutic radio-frequency ablations of lung tumors.

ઘણા લોકોને વારંવાર છીંક આવવી, નાક વહેવું, શ્વાસ લેવામાં તકલીફ અથવા દમ જેવી સમસ્યાઓ રહેતી હોય છે.

આ બધું એલર્જીના કારણે થઈ શકે છે.

સામાન્ય રીતે આપણે દવાઓ લઈએ છીએ, જે લક્ષણો થોડા સમય માટે ઘટાડે છે.

પરંતુ જો એલર્જી વારંવાર થાય અને લાંબા સમયથી ચાલતી હોય, તો હવે એક સ્થાયી ઉપાય પણ ઉપલબ્ધ છે – જેને કહેવામાં આવે છે AIT – એલર્જન ઈમ્યુનોથેરાપી.

👉 AITમાં શરીરને ધીમે ધીમે એલર્જી સર્જનાર તત્વો સાથે ઓળખાણ કરાવવામાં આવે છે, જેથી શરીર તેની સામે લડવાનું શીખે.

👉 આ સારવારથી એલર્જીના લક્ષણો ઘટે છે, દવાઓની જરૂરિયાત ઓછી થાય છે અને જીવનની ગુણવત્તા સુધરે છે.

એલર્જી માટે યોગ્ય તપાસ અને યોગ્ય માર્ગદર્શન ખૂબ જ જરૂરી છે.

દરેક દર્દી માટે સારવાર અલગ હોય છે.

જો તમને અથવા તમારા પરિવારના સભ્યને લાંબા સમયથી એલર્જીની સમસ્યા હોય, તો નિષ્ણાતની સલાહ લેવી જરૂરી છે.

સ્વાસ્થ્ય પ્રત્યે જાગૃત રહો.
એલર્જીને અવગણશો નહીં.

Akshar Pulmo Care conducted a Community Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) Check-up Camp to help people understand their lung health early — before symptoms become serious.

Early detection of lung function changes can make a real difference in conditions like asthma, allergies, and chronic cough.
Because prevention, awareness, and timely evaluation save lungs.
