Both anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease and the anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) are common causes of pulmonary-renal syndrome. Organizing pneumonia (OP), a special pattern of interstitial lung disease, is extremely rare either in AAV or anti-GBM disease. We report an old woman presented with OP on a background of co-presentation with both ANCA and anti-GBM antibodies.

- - This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of common carotid artery sonography versus transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for measuring cardiac output, suggesting a simpler method for intensive care monitoring.
- - It involved 148 patients who underwent both carotid Doppler examinations and TTE within an 8-hour period, and results showed moderate agreement between the two methods, with an overall intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.537.
- - While carotid cardiac output may be a viable alternative for emergencies, it is not recommended for patients experiencing septic shock, multiple trauma, or respiratory failure due to low correlation rates in these groups.
