Background: Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic systemic granulomatosis whose evolution is self-limiting in most cases. However, it can progress to organ damage that menaces the vital or functional prognosis of patients. Sarcoidosis itself, but also its comorbidities, can pose a threat to the patient, require rapid initiation of treatment, and justify emergency hospitalization.

- - Relapsing polychondritis is an autoimmune disease primarily affecting cartilage, causing inflammation and deformation through periods of flare-ups and remission.
- - The condition severely impacts auricular and nasal cartilage, and can also involve the tracheobronchial and cardiac areas, making diagnosis complex due to overlapping symptoms with other inflammatory diseases.
- - Recent advancements in diagnostic methods and treatments, including immunosuppressants and targeted therapies, have significantly improved the prognosis for patients with this condition.
Low-cost air quality portable sensors and their potential use in respiratory health.
Int J Tuberc Lung Dis
November 2023
Air pollution is an environmental risk for the general population and for patients with various diseases, particularly respiratory diseases. Little data are available on personal exposure, but the recent emergence of low-cost air quality sensors (LCSs) should enable a better understanding of the health impacts of air pollution at the individual level. However, the reliability and accuracy of most sensors in the market have not been established, and a thorough understanding of their strengths and limitations is needed.

- Recent studies show that using stented cryopreserved aortic allografts for tracheobronchial replacement is effective, especially for patients with severe tracheal cancer.
- The study analyzed 13 patients with extensive tracheal cancer from a larger registry, focusing on their surgical outcomes and complications.
- Findings indicate that the procedure had no 30-day mortality, a high rate of complete resection, and 84.6% of patients were alive at the last follow-up, although some experienced late complications.
