A Case of Comprehensive Interventional Therapy for Bronchial Thromboembolism Caused by Hemoptysis

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
We report the case of a patient with massive hemoptysis from dual bronchial artery malformations that necessitated emergent embolization. Extensive jelly‐like endobronchial clots caused complete lobar collapse refractory to suction. We used cryoextraction to achieve rapid, en‐bloc removal of arborizing casts with prompt radiographic resolution ...

Drooling as a Red Flag: Insights From a Case Series in Severe Dermatomyositis With Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare idiopathic inflammatory disease characterized by progressive proximal muscle weakness and distinctive dermatologic manifestations. Although dysphagia is a recognized complication of oropharyngeal muscle involvement, drooling (sialorrhea) is infrequently described and may be a marker of severe disease.
