Deletion of vitamin D receptor leads to premature emphysema/COPD by increased matrix metalloproteinases and lymphoid aggregates formation [PDF]
Deficiency of vitamin D is associated with accelerated decline in lung function. Vitamin D is a ligand for nuclear hormone vitamin D receptor (VDR), and upon binding it modulates various cellular functions.

Rare But Risky: Clinical Impacts of Pneumothorax After Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy
Postoperative pneumothorax (PPTX) is rare after thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy, occurring in up to 0.10% of cases. However, it is associated with increased risks of all‐cause mortality, adverse respiratory events, and healthcare utilization rates in up to 1 year after surgery, deeming PPTX as a potential marker of increased postoperative ...

Hamman's crunch—A pathognomonic sign of pneumomediastinum
Summary Pneumomediastinum, particularly spontaneous pneumomediastinum, is uncommon and presents a diagnostic challenge. In human medicine, auscultation of Hamman's crunch, a crepitant, crunching noise, audible over the cardiac region in synchrony with the heartbeat, is considered pathognomonic for pneumomediastinum.

Local lung responses following endobronchial elastase and lipopolysaccharide instillation in sheep [PDF]
Chronic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure may contribute to the pathogenesis of a number of lung diseases including COPD and emphysema. We sought to develop a large-animal model of emphysema using repeated LPS administration into sheep lung segments.

Abstract The clinical landscape of early stage nonsmall cell lung cancer is at transformative crossroads. Driven by the widespread adoption of low‐dose computed tomography screening, the frequent detection of ground‐glass opacities, and a rising incidence among never‐smokers, the diagnostic center of gravity has shifted toward earlier, potentially ...
