In a new multicenter trial, navigational bronchoscopy was found to be noninferior in diagnostic accuracy to transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) for evaluating peripheral pulmonary nodules, while significantly reducing the risk of procedural complications such as pneumothorax.

A large randomized trial has found that as-needed use of a fixed-dose combination of albuterol and budesonide significantly reduces the risk of severe asthma exacerbations compared to albuterol alone in patients with mild asthma.
