Cardiovascular outcomes in metabolically healthy Asian-American population with obesity (18-44 years): Insights from the National Inpatient Sample.

Objective: Obesity, often associated with cardiometabolic risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, is a predictor of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in hospitalized patients. However, in-hospital outcomes among young, metabolically healthy (MHO) Asians with obesity have not been explored.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study that utilized 2019 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to identify hospitalizations of metabolically healthy young (18-44 years) Asian-Americans/Pacific Islanders (AA/API).

A massive malignant pleural effusion due to lung adenocarcinoma in an adult male: a case report.

A significant right-sided pleural effusion was seen on chest radiography in a 53-year-old adult male who complained of bilateral chest pain, shortness of breath, and other additional symptoms. The bloody pleural effusion was removed with a chest tube, and cytopathology analysis showed moderate cellularity. After performing a high-resolution computed tomography, it was discovered that the affected lung had a significant pleural effusion on the right side as well as collapsed and consolidated lung parenchyma.

A Case of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis With Bronchial Asthma.

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a fungal hypersensitivity reaction in chronic lung diseases like bronchial asthma and cystic fibrosis. It is caused by an allergic reaction to aspergillus antigen in the lung mucus resulting in airway inflammation and damage. This condition usually presents in a patient with asthma as a poorly controlled disease with recurrent infection symptoms that do not respond to standard antibiotic therapy.
