Purpose: The main objective of this study was to identify risk factors for post-percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy (PTLB) pneumothorax and to establish and validate a predictive score for pneumothorax occurrence to identify patients eligible for outpatient care.
Material And Methods: Patients who underwent PTLB between November 1, 2012 and March 1, 2017 were retrospectively evaluated for clinical and radiologic factors potentially related to pneumothorax occurrence. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify risk factors, and the model coefficient for each factor was used to compute a score.
species are beneficial and dominant members of the breastfed infant gut microbiome; however, their health benefits are partially species-dependent. Here, we characterize the species and subspecies of in breastfed infants around the world to consider the potential impact of a historic dietary shift on the disappearance of subsp. in some populations.

Methods: To evaluate management and prognosis of patients with NTM-PD cases with respect to ATS recommendations, we conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study (18 sentinel sites distributed throughout France), over a period of six years.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the inflammatory response in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) linked to organic dust exposure (OD-COPD) compared to those with tobacco-related COPD (T-COPD) or both.
- It evaluates the distribution of immune cells and levels of specific cytokines in blood samples, noting significant differences between groups, particularly lower NK and CD8+ T cells in OD-COPD.
- The findings suggest OD-COPD has a distinct inflammatory profile characterized by higher type 2 immunity cytokines and different responses to immune stimulation compared to T-COPD.
Introduction: Hot tub lung (HTL) is a hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) related to inhalation of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) when exposed to ejected jet droplets from a jacuzzi. The aetiological debate is not completely settled in the literature.
Method: An observational study of 14 cases of HTL, diagnosed at the University Hospital of Besançon, France, between 2004 and 2018 according to the diagnostic criteria used in the clinic.
