Pleural infections are common and associated with substantial healthcare costs, morbidity, and mortality. Accurate diagnosis remains challenging due to low culture positivity rates, frequent polymicrobial involvement, and non-specific diagnostic biomarkers. Here, we undertook a prospective study examining the feasibility and performance of molecular methods for diagnosing suspected pleural infection.

This article presents two cases of fatal injuries from rifled weapons with unconventional shapes of inlets and exits mismatched with the distance of firing. According to forensic literature, in long-distance ranges, we expected to see rounded entry wounds smaller than bullet size, circular in shape without associates with limited damage in the tissues. In the first case, there were large wounds which did not match a distance of more than 2 m, while in the second case, the distance was more than 30 m with large wounds 21 × 10 cm and massive damage to bones and lungs.

Patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) generally have poor prognosis. Abnormal cellular energy metabolism is a hallmark of LUAD. Glutathione-specific gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase 1 (CHAC1) is a member of the γ-glutamylcyclotransferase family and an unfolded protein response pathway regulatory gene.
