Excerpt

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)- and endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) are being increasingly used as a safe and non-surgical method to sample tissue from mediastinal, para-aortic, and perihilar masses and lymph nodes. EUS- and EBUS-guided FNAC have greatly enhanced our diagnostic armamentarium in pulmonary medicine and gastroenterology. The diagnosis of tuberculosis is confirmed by the finding of granulomatous inflammation and the isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in culture by FNAC of mediastinal or retroperitoneal nodes. The diagnosis and staging of malignancy are also aided by these techniques. …

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
