Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an independent predictor of death in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. HIV is the leading cause of PAH (HIV-PAH) worldwide.
Aims: We described the characteristics, treatment patterns, and prognosis of a cohort of HIV-PAH patients and compared them with those of an equivalent cohort of patients with idiopathic/familial PAH (IPAH/FPAH).
Article Synopsis
- Smoking-related interstitial fibrosis is a specific type of lung scarring seen in smokers, characterized by unique tissue features.
- A case study involved a 58-year-old woman with a significant smoking history who developed pulmonary cysts and experienced worsening breathlessness for seven months.
- An open lung biopsy revealed fibrous thickening and cysts, indicating the cysts were likely due to pulmonary interstitial emphysema, underscoring the importance of immunohistochemistry in differentiating between various lung conditions.
Objective: Kartagener's syndrome (KS) is a clinical variant of primary ciliary dyskinesia involving situs inversus associated with chronic airway infections. The ciliary defect associated with this syndrome is the absence of dynein arms. The aim of this study was to evaluate mucociliary transport and ciliary ultrastructure in 14 patients with KS.
