Article Synopsis
- Bronchiolar adenoma/ciliated muconodular papillary tumor (BA/CMPT) is a rare lung tumor, with under 150 known cases.
- A unique case involving a 55-year-old man with Sjögren's disease complicated by lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP) is reported, marking the first documented instance of this combination.
- The study also includes a systematic review summarizing demographics, clinical features, imaging, pathology, and treatment of CMPT from existing literature.
Key Clinical Message: Adult-onset Still's disease is a rare inflammatory condition with diverse clinical features. Yamaguchi criteria aid diagnosis, and pleural effusion and elevated ferritin levels are important markers. Steroids are the first-line treatment.

Objective: To find out the efficacy of D-dimer and mean platelet volume (MPV) combination as a prognostic marker in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with bilateral infiltration.
Materials And Methods: Study design: Retrospective observational cohort.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess nutritional statuses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in four categories of the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2015 classification and to evaluate associations of body mass index (BMI) and fat-free mass index with respiratory and skeletal muscle strengths.
Methods: This prospective observational study included COPD patients (≥40 years old) who were followed-up for at least 1 year. Medical histories, smoking status, and anthropometric, spirometry, and hand grip strength measurements were recorded.
Article Synopsis
- Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a prevalent and deadly lung cancer, with the study focusing on how genetic variations in the caspase 9 gene (CASP9) affect NSCLC risk.
- The research involved 96 NSCLC patients and 67 healthy controls, analyzing a specific CASP9 genetic variant using real-time PCR.
- Findings revealed that the GG genotype of CASP9 was more common in NSCLC patients, while the mutations GA and A were more frequent in controls, suggesting that GG is a risk factor and the A allele may reduce the risk of developing NSCLC.
