Introduction: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease caused by mutations in the gene located on chromosome 7 that encodes the CF transmembrane conductance regulator protein. Several trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of the ELE/TEZ/IVA combination in patients who have at least one F508del mutation. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the safety at 3 and 6 months of treatment with ELE/TEZ/IVA in adult patients with CF.

- The study assesses how the timing of indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) insertion relative to systemic cancer therapy (SCT) affects efficacy and safety in patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE).
- A systematic review analyzed data from 10 studies involving nearly 3,000 patients, finding that using SCT while IPC is in place reduces mortality and improves survival, with no increased risk of IPC-related infections across different SCT timings.
- The findings suggest that IPC effectiveness and safety remain consistent regardless of when it is inserted in relation to SCT, indicating early IPC insertion might be preferable.
Purpose: Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of the lung in adults is very rare. We aimed to evaluate the clinicoradiological features of adult patients with CCAM.
Methods: Adult patients diagnosed with CCAM were evaluated for clinicoradiological presentation and management.
Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) is a rare (incidence 1.0%-2.5%), often under-diagnosed disease, caused by the aspiration and accumulation of exogenous lipids within the pulmonary alveoli.
