The abdominal wall is an uncommon site for endometriosis that occurs in the soft tissues of the wound site after laparotomy. The present study reviewed cases of post-cesarean section abdominal wall endometriosis that were surgically treated at our institution from April 2007 to August 2020. We analyzed data from nine patients who were diagnosed with abdominal wall endometriosis and selected surgery after receiving sufficient explanation of hormone therapy and from patients who reported no improvement in symptoms with hormone therapy.

The HAL score, which incorporates honeycombing (H), age >75 years (A), and serum lactate dehydrogenase >222 U/L (L), can predict acute exacerbations in patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). This study aims to evaluate the predictive utility of the HAL score for PPF development.

Objective: This study aimed to clarify the features of -sensitized refractory asthma with bronchiectasis and determine the refractory phenotype in this population and ABPA.
Methods: This study included cases of the oldest available -specific IgE data and chest computed tomography images from a nationwide survey of refractory asthma with bronchiectasis.
Article Synopsis
- Subacute cough is a specific type of cough lasting 3-8 weeks and is primarily caused by cough variant asthma, atopic cough, and sinobronchial syndrome, rather than post-infectious cough as previously believed.
- In a study involving 148 patients, 68.3% developed chronic cough, often stemming from multiple underlying conditions such as cough variant asthma combined with atopic cough.
- The findings highlight the need for careful diagnosis and treatment of multiple causes in patients with subacute cough to prevent progression to chronic cough.
