Splenectomy predisposes patients to a slew of infectious and non-infectious complications including pulmonary vascular disease. Patients are at increased risk for venous thromboembolic events due various mechanisms that may lead chronic hypertension (CTEPH). The development CTEPH vasculopathy after splenectomy involves complex pathophysiologic mechanisms, some which remain unclear. This review attempts congregate the current evidence behind our understanding about etio-pathogenesis disease...
Hydrocarbon pneumonitis is an acute, intense resulting from aspiration/inhalation of volatile hydrocarbon compounds with low viscosity and surface tension. The authors describe the case a 24-year-old male who aspirated diesel while siphoning it heavy duty crane, developed bilateral responded to 2-day therapy non-invasive continuous positive airway pressure ventilation.
Primary Synovial sarcoma of the lung is an extremely rare entity. Our patient was healthy prior to presentation and came in with a short course dyspnea found have large synovial on lung.
Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare disease with dismal prognosis. We report case of 50-year-old man who presented haemoptysis, cough and worsening dyspnoea. An intracardiac mass was visualised on echocardiogram. He treated for diffuse alveolar haemorrhage acute respiratory distress syndrome but died from refractory hypoxaemic failure leading to arrest. The diagnosis primary haemorrhagic pulmonary metastases damage confirmed autopsy.
A 47-year-old man presented with symptoms of fever and productive cough secondary to a left upper lobe pneumonia. He had received more than three courses antibiotics over 2-year period. Review serial radiographic exams including chest x-ray CT scans revealed consolidation the lobe. Lack response prompted invasive testing bronchoscopy which growth in main bronchus. Histopathology squamous cell carcinoma.
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) had become a therapeutic modality in patients with primary tumors, locally recurrent as well oligometastasis involving the lung. Some modalities of SBRT require fiducial marker (FM) for dynamic tumor tracking. Previous studies have focused on evaluating bronchoscopic-guided FM placement peripheral lung nodules. We describe safety and feasibility placing using real-time convex probe endobronchial ultrasound (CP-EBUS) centrally located hilar/mediastinal...
We present the case of a 71 y/o man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who presented 3 weeks cough, phlegm, fever, and failed outpatient antibiotic therapy for pneumonia.CT chest showed unilateral interstitial changes bronchoscopic biopsies demonstrated primary lung papillary adenocarcinoma extensive concentric psammomatous calcifications.
<h3></h3> We report a case of young woman who presented with acute cardiogenic pulmonary oedema and respiratory failure. She underwent emergent endotracheal intubation was transferred to the intensive care unit. responded intravenous diuretics positive pressure ventilation. Subsequent workup revealed that she had Graves’ disease in thyrotoxic crisis. Therapy propranolol propylthiouracil instituted which showed remarkable improvement.
A 40-year-old female, presented with prerenal acute kidney injury secondary to diarrhoea. With appropriate hydration, she went into diuretic phase and subsequently developed hypokalemic quadriparesis hypocalcaemic tetany due hypomagnesemia subclinical vitamin D deficiency. The patient improved oral potassium, magnesium, calcium supplementation.
A young man with a history of smoking presented acute-onset chest pain after lifting weights. He also noticed change in his voice, tightness neck and difficulty breathing. radiograph showed soft tissue emphysema the neck. CT scan revealed moderate amount pneumomediastinum tracking into down to diaphragm. was haemodynamically stable had no hypoxia or dysphagia. monitored for 48 hours discharged home resolution symptoms. repeated 6 weeks normal.
Mediastinal lipoma is a rare intrathoracic tumor which can present as shortness of breath. We describe morbidly obese patient with progressive dyspnea who got diagnosed endoscopically and scheduled for surgical resection large benign mediastinal lipoma.
