Pulmonary manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease: Two case reports.

Pulmonary involvement associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are a rare extraintestinal manifestation (EIM) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), we herein presented two cases. Case 1: 53-year-old man with Crohn's disease treated with mesalazine and azathioprine. Pulmonary nodular shadows were incidentally detected on chest imaging, and revealed granulomas through transbronchial lung biopsy.

Incidence, Characteristics, Clinical Course, and Risk Factors of Ulcerative Colitis-related Lung Diseases.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic GI inflammatory disorder involving various extraintestinal organs, including the lungs. Although UC-related lung diseases (UC-LDs) have been widely recognized, much remains unclear.

Research Question: What are the incidence, characteristics, clinical course, and risk factors of UC-LD?

Study Design And Methods: This study retrospectively identified and classified UC-LDs by reviewing the medical records of consecutive patients with UC.

A rare case of COVID-19 pneumonia with severe hyperlipoproteinemia.

A 55-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. Her symptoms improved upon treatment with steroids, remdesivir and heparin. After discharge, she consumed excessive alcohol because of taste disorder due to COVID-19; she also had chylomicronemia with a triglyceride (TG) level of 8750 mg/dl.

Acute respiratory failure due to infection with acute fibrinous and organazing pneumonia: A case report.

A 59-year-old woman complaining of wet cough, hemoptysis, slight fever, anorexia, and malaise was admitted to hospital with suspected lobar pneumonia. She received treatment for myocardial infarction and deep venous thrombosis caused by familial protein C deficiency. Rapid deterioration due to respiratory failure occurred despite intensive care with broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Analysis of factors predicting the application of chemical pleurodesis for pneumothorax: An observational study.

Chemical pleurodesis is performed in pneumothorax patients to treat nonresolving air leakage or prevent recurrence. However, factors that might predict the need for chemical pleurodesis remain unknown. Therefore, this study investigated predictive factors for the application of chemical pleurodesis for pneumothorax.
