Impact of Triple Inhaler Therapy on COPD Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer After Radical Surgery: A Single-Centre Retrospective Analysis.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is among the most relevant comorbidity associated with lung cancer. The advent of innovative triple treatment approaches for COPD has significantly improved patients' quality of life and outcomes. Few data are available regarding the impact of triple inhaler therapy on patients featuring COPD and lung cancer.

Uncommon finding in a pulmonary graft versus host disease: A first report of Tsukamurella pneumonia in a pulmonary graft-versus-host disease.

A 64-year-old woman presented to Our Department with 2 weeks history of fever and cough. Through a series of radiological and invasive diagnostic studies we finally reach an unexpected diagnosis of ; Diagnosing an ILD is a dynamic process, and that is the reason why complex cases discussed in a multidisciplinary team may need to be reconsidered in light of evolution of the disease and the results of the performed exams with a flexible approach. is an obligate aerobic, Gram-positive, weakly acid-fast, non-motile bacillus that belongs to the order Pneumonia caused by is exceedingly rare, and only few cases are reported in the literature.

An Underestimated Cause of Hemoptysis in a 41-Year-Old Man.

A 41-year-old man who currently smokes with previous sporadic use of cocaine and cannabinoids was admitted at the hospital suffering from hemoptysis which had developed 4 days before. The patient was on anticoagulant therapy with rivaroxaban due to paroxysmal atrial fibrillation diagnosed in 2018, for which he had undergone pulmonary vein electrical isolation by radiofrequency and ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus in January 2019. The procedure was completed in July 2019.

Adjuvant surgical treatment of non-tuberculous mycobacterial lung disease in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: A first case report.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is not considered a known risk factor for non-tuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD), despite that many studies state that incidence is almost equal to other chronic lung diseases. Current standard of care for NTM-LD consists in multidrug antibiotic regimen for several months. However, it results in negative culture conversion in a minority of cases.

Lung consolidation in a young-age active smoker: An unexpected diagnosis.

A 29-year-old man presented to Emergency Department with nonspecific symptoms. Through a series of radiological and invasive diagnostic studies we finally reach an unexpected diagnosis of hypersentivity pneumonitis; this is a complex and heterogeneous disease which diagnosis can be challenging as its clinical, radiologic and histopathologic features overlap with those of other interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Diagnosing an ILD is a dynamic process, and that is the reason why complex cases discussed in a multidisciplinary team may need to be reconsidered in light of evolution of the disease and the results of the performed exams with a flexible approach.

Pleural Mesothelioma: Treatable Traits of a Heterogeneous Disease.

Pleural mesothelioma is an aggressive disease with diffuse nature, low median survival, and prolonged latency presenting difficulty in prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment. Here, we review all these aspects to underline the progress being made in its investigation and to emphasize how much work remains to be carried out to improve prognosis and treatment.
