Bronchiolitis obliterans and organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a syndrome that has been associated with a variety of underlying disorders, including infection, collagen vascular diseases and toxic fume inhalation. Rarely, however, BOOP has been associated with radiation- or chemotherapy-induced pulmonary toxicity. Over the past 3 years, several case series have reported BOOP in the unique setting of radiation in breast cancer patients. This study describes our experience with this newly recognized syndrome and a review of the English-language literature on this syndrome.

The cardiovascular implications of thyroid disease have been recognized as one of the most characteristic signs that result from the effect of thyroid hormone (TH). Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism produce changes in cardiac contractility, myocardial oxygen consumption, cardiac output, blood pressure, and systemic vascular resistance. The bradyarrhythmias, including atrioventricular block and sick sinus syndrome, are exceedingly rare in hyperthyroidism.

Premise: Magnoliids are a strongly supported clade of angiosperms. Previous phylogenetic studies based primarily on analyses of a limited number of mostly plastid markers have led to the current classification of magnoliids into four orders and 18 families. However, uncertainty remains regarding the placement of several families.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes a significant burden of acute respiratory illness across all ages, particularly for infants and older adults. Infants, especially those born prematurely or with underlying health conditions, face a high risk of severe RSV-related lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs). Globally, RSV contributes to millions of LRTI cases annually, with a disproportionate burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to study the role of extracellular proteins as biomarkers associated with newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetes (NT1D) diagnosis and prognosis.
Patients And Methods: We retrieved and analyzed the GSE55098 microarray dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Using R software, we screened out the extracellular protein-differentially expressed genes (EP-DEGs) through several protein-related databases.

Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a newly recognized type of carcinoma that occurs in the uterus and ovaries. MLA exhibits distinct morphological and immunophenotypical features similar to those of mesonephric carcinoma of the cervix or vagina, with the majority of reported tumors containing mutations. MLA is exceedingly rare and appears to be associated with aggressive clinical behavior.
