The Paradox of Metachronous Lipoid Pneumonia
This is a case of recurrent exogenous lipoid pneumonia in a single patient caused by multiple unrelated substances. This case underscores the diagnostic value of radiologic patterns, the significance of meticulous exposure history, and the necessity of contemplating alternative aetiologies in patients with new infiltrates during cancer therapy ...

Niche signals and transcription factors involved in tissue-resident macrophage development [PDF]
Tissue-resident macrophages form an essential part of the first line of defense in all tissues of the body. Next to their immunological role, they play an important role in maintaining tissue homeostasis. Recently, it was shown that they are primarily of

Macrophages: Subtypes, Distribution, Polarization, Immunomodulatory Functions, and Therapeutics
Macrophages originate from the yolk sac, fetal liver, and bone marrow, differentiating into two main subtypes: M1‐like (proinflammatory) and M2‐like (anti‐inflammatory). These subtypes exhibit high plasticity, allowing them to transform in response to environmental cues or therapeutic interventions.

CLINICAL APPLICABILITY OF PROPOSED ALGORITHM FOR IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUALS AT RISK FOR HEREDITARY HEMATOLOGIC MALIGNANCIES [PDF]
Over the past decade, more than 12 genes have been identified to cause hereditary predispositions to hematologic malignancies. These syndromes are characterized by an increased risk to develop myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML),

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for support during whole lung lavage for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION ECMO as support during whole lung lavage (WLL) for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is reserved for severe cases where oxygenation is inadequate to support the patient using the ventilator alone.

Lung surfactant in subacute pulmonary disease
Pulmonary surfactant is a surface active material composed of both lipids and proteins that is produced by alveolar type II pneumocytes. Abnormalities of surfactant in the immature lung or in the acutely inflamed mature lung are well described.
