Nocardiae are Gram-positive, filamentous, aerobic, relatively slow-growing, and weakly acid-fast bacteria which cause nocardiosis in humans. We describe a 53-year-old patient with chronic bronchitis referred to Al-Zahra Hospital, Isfahan.

ABSTRACT Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa characterized by allergen sensitization and the involvement of multiple inflammatory mediators. Currently, the treatment of AR mainly includes symptomatic relief, anti‐inflammatory therapy, and nerve desensitization. However, these treatments have limitations in fully

ABSTRACT Background Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols reduce length of stay, complications, and costs for elective surgical procedures. It remains challenging to implement ERAS concepts in the acute trauma patient due to deranged physiological reserve from the penetrating or blunt trauma producing altered physiology.

Smoking is one of the major causes of pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and treatment options for PF are limited. We show that POT1 is decreased in PF patients and mice, especially in smoke exposure, and investigate its contributions to PF progression from protecting AT2 cell senescence to fibrosis. AAV9‐mediated restoration of POT1 prevents PF.

Alternative Polyadenylation Contributes to Fibroblast Senescence in Pulmonary Fibrosis
In aging or fibrotic fibroblasts, NUDT21 is downregulated, leading to alternative polyadenylation/3′ UTR shortening of STAT3 pathway genes, enhancing their protein expression and promoting STAT3 phosphorylation. Activated STAT3 signaling subsequently drives the expression and release of senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors, thereby ...

Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) and Tropical Lung Disease
The advent of fiberoptic bronchoscopy permitted bronchoalveolar (BAL) to become an easily performed well-tolerated diagnostic and investigative tool. The technique has opened up a helpful new window to the lungs.
