Safety and Performance Characteristics of Outpatient Medical Thoracoscopy and Indwelling Pleural Catheter Insertion for Evaluation and Diagnosis of Pleural Disease at a Tertiary Ce... by Robert Kyskan, Pen Li, Sunita Mulpuru, Carolina Souza, Kayvan Amjadi

“…Pleural malignancy (59.6%) and nonspecific pleuritis (29.4%) were the most common pathologies. Pleural nodularity detected endoscopically was excellent at predicting malignancy with a positive predictive value of 92.5% and is more frequently detected endoscopically when compared to CT scan (p<0.001). …”

Capsule Endoscopy for Crohn’s Disease: Current Status of Diagnosis and Management by Dong-Hoon Yang, Bora Keum, Yoon Tae Jeen

“…Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) has a higher diagnostic yield than small bowel barium radiography and computed tomography enterography for the detection of small intestinal involvement of CD. VCE also provides diagnostic yields comparable to magnetic resonance- (MR-) based enterography or enteroclysis and may have several advantages over MR-based tests for the detection of early small intestinal lesions. …”

Fast vocal-motor tracking of escaping prey in echolocating bats by Ilias Foskolos, Antoniya Hubancheva, Marie Rosenkjær Skalshøi, Kristian Beedholm, Peter Teglberg Madsen, Laura Stidsholt

“…Abstract Background Echolocating bats face an intense arms race with insect prey that can detect bat calls and initiate evasive maneuvers. Their high closing speeds and short biosonar ranges leave bats with only a few 100 ms between detection and capture, suggesting a reactive sensory-motor operation that might preclude tracking of escaping prey. …”
