Localized type tenosynovial giant cell tumor with metastases to lungs and pleura: a case report and literature review.

Background: Tenosynovial giant cell tumor is a rare soft tissue tumor of the synovium of joint, bursae, or tendon sheath. It is divided into localized or diffuse types on the basis of the growth pattern. Localized tenosynovial giant cell tumors are usually benign and treated successfully by excision.

Leptospirosis and melioidosis coinfection presenting as acute respiratory distress syndrome and osteomyelitis: Case report and systematic review.

Introduction: Leptospirosis and melioidosis are common in tropical and temperate climates and can be acquired by exposure to contaminated water and soil. However, concomitant leptospirosis and melioidosis infection is rarely described in the literature. We report a case of leptospirosis-melioidosis coinfection and systematically review the literature.

: A Novel ROS1 Oncogenic Fusion Detected on Next Generation Sequencing.

Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) patients with gene rearrangement have shown significant therapeutic responses to tyrosine kinase inhibitors approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, with approximately 40 fusion partners documented in the existing literature. Our report highlights a novel fusion partner of that has demonstrated a conclusive response to the current standard of treatment.

Evaluation of Risk Factors for Lung Cancer Among Never Smokers and Their Association With Common Driver Mutations.

Introduction: The majority of lung cancers are caused by tobacco use, which is linked to lung tumors of all major histological types. A considerable fraction of lung cancer cases, the vast majority of which are adenocarcinomas, occur in "never smokers," who are characterized as having smoked fewer than 100 cigarettes in their lives. The primary objective was to assess risk factors for lung cancer in non-smokers.

A 37-Year-Old Man With Dyspnea, Bilateral Lung Consolidation, and a Tracheal Mass.

A 37-year-old man presented to the ED with symptoms of productive cough, self-reported fever, and shortness of breath for the past 15 days. He was placed on noninvasive mechanical ventilation for respiratory distress. IV piperacillin-tazobactam and inhaled bronchodilators were promptly administered, and he was subsequently transferred to the respiratory ICU for further care.

Post COVID sequelae among COVID-19 survivors: insights from the Indian National Clinical Registry for COVID-19.

Introduction: The effects of COVID-19 infection persist beyond the active phase. Comprehensive description and analysis of the post COVID sequelae in various population groups are critical to minimise the long-term morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19. This analysis was conducted with an objective to estimate the frequency of post COVID sequelae and subsequently, design a framework for holistic management of post COVID morbidities.

Health system factors related to COVID-19 mortality in Eastern India: Hospital-based cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Mortality from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has left footprints across all ages and socio-economic strata. The deaths because of COVID-19 are usually multi-factorial. The study aimed to assess the health system factors related to COVID-19-related deaths.

Predictors of Mortality among Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19 during the First Wave in India: A Multisite Case-Control Study.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 disease (COVID-19) has caused more than 6 million deaths globally. Understanding predictors of mortality will help in prioritizing patient care and preventive approaches. This was a multicentric, unmatched, hospital-based case-control study conducted in nine teaching hospitals in India.

Correction: Anesthetic Challenges During Whole Lung Lavage: A Case Report.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.33659.

Anesthetic Challenges During Whole Lung Lavage: A Case Report.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is an uncommon lung disease characterized by the accumulation of surfactant in the lungs. Treatment is done by whole lung lavage. One-lung ventilation in diseased lungs is a challenge to anesthesiologists due to the rapid desaturation and hemodynamic fluctuations encountered during the procedure.

Correlation NKX2.2 IHC and break-apart FISH in the diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma: Can combined NKX2.2 and CD99 immunoexpression obviate or minimize the need of FISH testing? First assessment study from Indian tertiary cancer care center.

Context: Ewing sarcoma (ES) are malignant small round cell tumors (MSRCT) characterized by rearrangements of EWSR1 gene. Although gold standard for diagnosis is detection of specific fusion genes by molecular testing, these ancillary tests are costly and only available in limited number of settings. There is a persuasive evidence for reliability of NKX2.

Dextromethorphan premedication in the alleviation of cough during flexible bronchoscopy in adults: A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial.

Background And Objective: Cough is invariably encountered during flexible bronchoscopy despite sedation and topical anaesthetics. The ideal cough suppressant during flexible bronchoscopy is not known. We assessed the role of dextromethorphan premedication in relieving the cough during flexible bronchoscopy in adults.

Tuberculosis and COVID-19: An epidemic submerged in the pandemic: A case series and review of current literature.

Tuberculosis (TB), the leading infectious cause of death worldwide, like coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is mainly transmitted through the respiratory route and affects the lungs. Though TB-COVID co-infection is not common, but might be missed due to similar clinical presentation. Therefore, a high index of suspicion of co-infections is needed so that there is prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Impact of Comorbidity Scores on the Overall Survival of Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Real-World Experience From Eastern India.

Introduction Lung cancer is the most common cancer, and it is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Smoking is the most common risk factor for the development of lung cancer. There is a lack of data on the comorbidities and outcomes of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the eastern part of India.

Effect of body mass index (BMI) on pulmonary functions in children of 6-14 years of age: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Over-weight/obesity is a new global pandemic affecting children with prevalence up to 36%. It is responsible for metabolic syndrome and its future complications in children; however, its effect on lung functions in children is not well studied.

Aim: To compare lung function tests [forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC), FVC, and % predicted] of children with over-weight/obesity to that of normal children.

Clinico-Epidemiological Characteristics of Healthcare Workers with SARS-CoV-2 Infection during the First and Second Waves in a Teaching Hospital from Eastern India: A Comparative Analysis.

In this retrospective observational study, we have performed a comparative analysis of the demographic, clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the HCWs affected with SARS-CoV-2 infection during first two waves in India. The overall prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among HCWs was found to be 15.24% (14.
