TL;DR: In this article, bronchoalveolar lavage performed by sequential instillation and aspiration of 20-ml aliquots of normal saline resulted in recovered lavage fluid that became progressively bloodier with each recovered aliquot.

TL;DR: The technique of fractional processing of bronchoalveolar lavage samples provides a simple means to obtain samples enriched for bronchial and alveolar components, which should facilitate analysis of lower respiratory tract specimens in airway disease.

TL;DR: Although sensitivity and specificity of the available diagnostic techniques are suboptimal, screening for persistent HPV infection is effective in reducing the incidence of cervical cancer.

TL;DR: Iron, by catalyzing the generation of the hydroxyl radical via the Haber-Weiss reaction, may participate in oxidant tissue injury, and whether iron might contribute to cigarette smoke-induced lung injury is estimated by measuring intracellular iron content of pulmonary macrophages and extracellularIron content of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from cigarette smokers and nonsmokers.

TL;DR: Patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated by oncologists in the Nebraska Lymphoma Study Group were immunophenotyped from biopsies performed before therapy was administered, and identification of a subgroup of patients who had a very poor prognosis with this treatment approach was identified.
