The role of neutrophils in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel diseases
Abstract Objectives Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses a spectrum of chronic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, with a potential bidirectional relationship with periodontitis. Neutrophils are key regulators of immune‐inflammatory responses and play a major role in both diseases.

The Role of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis Advanced Lung Disease
Among 270 cystic fibrosis patients, 20.7% were NTM‐positive and had a lower pre‐transplant risk of death or lung transplantation but higher post‐transplant mortality, with no difference in CLAD incidence. These results suggest NTM infection should not be an absolute contraindication to lung transplantation, though careful individual risk assessment is ...

Among patients referred for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation with pulmonary opacities, lung biopsy provided a diagnosis in 72% of procedures and altered management in 51%. Despite a 7% major complication rate, lung biopsy frequently clarified noninfectious etiologies when bronchoscopy was inconclusive.

ABSTRACT Background Tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE), the second most common form of extra‐pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), remains difficult to diagnose due to low‐yield, invasive and often unavailable diagnostics in resource‐limited settings. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of sonographic characteristics alone to predict TB ...
