99mTc-Pyrophosphate Retention in Atelectatic Pulmonary Tissues of a Patient With Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis

Yu Pan, Yue Wang, Yilei Zhou, Yun Xi, Yifan Zhang

Summary: A 61-year-old man was hospitalized for suspected cardiac amyloidosis, which was confirmed through Tc-99m-Pyrophosphate scintigraphy and genetic testing. Additionally, regional radiotracer uptake in the lungs corresponding to areas of atelectasis on CT images should be noted as it may interfere with the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis.

The evaluation of non-anesthetic computed tomography for detection of pulmonary parenchyma in feline mammary gland carcinoma: a preliminary study

Auraiwan Klaengkaew, Somchin Sutthigran, Ninlawan Thammasiri, Kittiporn Yuwatanakorn, Chutimon Thanaboonnipat, Suppawiwat Ponglowhapan, Nan Choisunirachon

Summary: Anesthesia significantly increased lung CT attenuation and was correlated with lung atelectasis, particularly in the cranial lung lobe. Non-anesthetic CT revealed more MGC-affected cats and smaller pulmonary nodules compared to radiography, as well as additional information such as intra-thoracic lymphadenopathy.

Total unilateral pulmonary collapse secondary to allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis: a case series of an unusual cause of complete atelectasis

N. Benkalfate, S. Dirou, P. Germaud, C. Defrance, A. Cavailles, T. Pigeanne, M. Robert, T. Madjer, F. Corne, L. Cellerin, C. Sagan, F. X. Blanc

Summary: ABPA can lead to total unilateral lung collapse even in patients without known underlying chronic respiratory disease, making the diagnosis difficult. Flexible bronchoscopy should be considered when lung collapse is associated with respiratory distress but corticosteroids are the mainstay treatment for ABPA.

Significant response of pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma with obstructive atelectasis to treatment with the PD-1 inhibitor camrelizumab combined with transbronchial cryoablation: A case report and literature review

Jiayun Nian, Yong Zhu, Qi Fu, Guowang Yang, Xiaomin Wang

Summary: Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of non-small cell lung cancer. Traditional chemotherapy or radiotherapy often fail to achieve satisfactory results in PSC patients, while targeted therapy and immunotherapy may offer more precision and effectiveness. We present a case of stage III PSC with obstructive atelectasis, which posed challenges in treatment. Combination therapy with the PD-1 inhibitor camrelizumab and transbronchial cryoablation showed significant clinical efficacy, providing a valuable reference for future clinical practice and research.

Case Report: Therapeutic Use of Ibrutinib in a Patient With Schnitzler Syndrome

Yuehua Huang, Yanying Wang, Fan Yu, Xuehan Mao, Bianhong Wang, Jingxian Li, Lihong Li

Summary: Schnitzler syndrome is a rare adult-onset acquired autoinflammatory disorder characterized by chronic urticarial rash and monoclonal gammopathy. Treatment with interleukin-1 blockade therapy can improve clinical symptoms but does not affect the underlying monoclonal gammopathy. This case highlights the potential therapeutic role of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors in Schnitzler syndrome.

Consolidated lung on contrast-enhanced chest CT: the use of spectral-detector computed tomography parameters in differentiating atelectasis and pneumonia

Philip Konietzke, Hauke H. Steentoft, Willi L. Wagner, Jonas Albers, Christian Dullin, Stephan Skornitzke, Wolfram Stiller, Tim F. Weber, Hans-Ulrich Kauczor, Mark O. Wielpuetz

Summary: The study found that spectral-detector computed tomography (SDCT) can differentiate between atelectasis and pneumonia based on the parameters C-iodine and Z(eff). However, these parameters did not provide added value compared to CT number measurement on CON120kVp images. Additionally, contrast media is still necessary for differentiation based on quantitative SDCT parameters.

HSP47: A Therapeutic Target in Pulmonary Fibrosis

Noriho Sakamoto, Daisuke Okuno, Takatomo Tokito, Hirokazu Yura, Takashi Kido, Hiroshi Ishimoto, Yoshimasa Tanaka, Hiroshi Mukae

Summary: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic lung disease characterized by a decline in lung function and poor prognosis. Type I collagen, a major component of the extracellular matrix, is a potential target for fibrosis treatment. HSP47, a collagen-binding protein, is increased in pulmonary fibrosis and has implications in the development of therapeutic strategies.

Fan Yang, Wenxia Zhang, Cheng Han, Hanliang Jiang

Summary: This case study demonstrates the use of loop electrocautery therapy followed by lobectomy in the treatment of Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), providing both palliative relief of airway obstruction and avoiding pneumonectomy as a potential treatment option. After 6 years of follow up, no evidence of recurrence has been found.

Effect of pressure controlled volume guaranteed ventilation during pulmonary resection in children

Change Zhu, Rufang Zhang, Shenghua Yu, Yuting Zhang, Rong Wei

Summary: The study evaluated the effect of pressure controlled volume guaranteed ventilation in children who underwent pulmonary resection requiring one lung ventilation. The results showed that pressure controlled volume guaranteed ventilation provided lower peak inspiratory pressure, higher static compliance, and lower arterial carbon dioxide levels during one lung ventilation. However, further research is needed to examine its effects in different pathological situations in pediatric patients.

Use-case scenarios for an anti-Cryptosporidium therapeutic

Paul G. Ashigbie, Susan Shepherd, Kevin L. Steiner, Beatrice Amadi, Natasha Aziz, Ujjini H. Manjunatha, Jonathan M. Spector, Thierry T. Diagana, Paul Kelly

Summary: Cryptosporidium is a widely distributed enteric parasite with a pathogenic role in pediatric diarrhea. Despite potentially affecting humanity for millennia, its recent emergence is largely due to major epidemiologic studies in the past decade. The lack of a vaccine and the limited efficacy of the only approved medicine, nitazoxanide, in certain high-risk patient groups are significant challenges.

Necroptosis in Pulmonary Diseases: A New Therapeutic Target

Lingling Wang, Ling Zhou, Yuhao Zhou, Lu Liu, Weiling Jiang, Huojun Zhang, Huiguo Liu

Summary: Apoptosis has been extensively studied as a regulated cell death mechanism, but recently necroptosis, a novel form of RCD, has gained attention. Necroptosis, mediated by RIPK3 and MLKL phosphorylation, triggers inflammation through DAMP release and is implicated in various human diseases.

Summary: This population-based retrospective cohort study found that children from ethnic minority groups, living in more deprived areas, and from key worker families are over-represented among cases of Paediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome Temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS). Children from black ethnic groups had longer admissions and were more likely to require ventilation.

Summary: Pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS) is a severe immune-mediated disorder. Neurologic involvement was found in 12% of children with PIMS-TS, presenting with various symptoms such as altered consciousness, behavioral changes, focal neurology deficits, headaches, hallucinations, excessive sleepiness, and focal seizures. Higher systemic inflammatory markers were identified in children with neurologic involvement and in those who had not fully recovered after 3 months of follow-up.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the postoperative complications and outcomes in children with isolated double aortic arch or right aortic arch with left arterial ligament and assess the impact of fetal diagnosis on outcomes. The most common complication was vocal cord palsy, and older age at surgery was the only predictor for postoperative complications. Prenatal diagnosis was associated with a lower rate of postoperative symptoms.
