Central airway carcinoid tumor mimicking chronic asthma and necessitating pneumonectomy: A case report.

Introduction: Central airway tumors can occasionally be misdiagnosed as a chronic disease. We present a case of a central airway carcinoid tumor that was mistaken as chronic asthma for many years.

Presentation Of Case: A 29-year-old male bodybuilder presented to our emergency department with shortness of breath and hemoptysis.

Lymphopenia at the time of transplant is associated with short-term mortality after deceased donor liver transplantation.

Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) is considered a surrogate marker for nutritional status and immunocompetence. We investigated the association between ALC and post-liver transplant outcomes in patients who received a deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT). Patients were categorized by ALC at liver transplant: low (<500/μL), mid (500-1000/μL), and high ALC (>1000/μL).
