Cystic lung disease as a complication of post-tuberculosis infection in young patients: A rare manifestation of a common disease.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a common disease which is still endemic in many countries including Malaysia. Acquired cystic lung disease is a rare complication of post-TB infection. We aim to describe two cases of young patients who developed cystic lung disease during treatment for TB, which were further complicated with recurrent pneumothorax.

Neuropsychiatric lupus in Malaysian children: clinical characteristics, imaging features and 12-month outcomes.

It has recently been recognized that the clinical course of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and secondary organizing pneumonia (OP) tend to follow a subacute progression of respiratory illness. We present images of radiological progression of COVID-19 pneumonia and secondary OP.

Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia with tiny cysts of peribronchovascular distribution on CT.

Cysts are a common finding of lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP) on imaging. Usually, they are limited in number and size. Tiny and numerous cysts of peribronchovascular distribution are less typical but a recognized appearance in LIP.

Necrotizing fasciitis of the upper back presenting with left shoulder pain.

Neuroprotection by -resveratrol against collagenase-induced neurological and neurobehavioural deficits in rats involves adenosine A1 receptors.

-resveratrol has been shown to have neuroprotective effects and could be a promising therapeutic agent in the treatment of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). This study aimed to investigate the involvement of the adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) in -resveratrol-induced neuroprotection in rats with collagenase-induced ICH. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 330-380 g were randomly divided into five groups (n = 12): (i) control, (ii) sham-operated rats, (iii) ICH rats pretreated with vehicle (0.
