Trans-bronchial forceps biopsy for COVID-19 related diffuse parenchymal lung abnormalities.
BMC Pulm Med

Medical Department I, Division of Pneumology, University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus, TU Dresden, Fetscherstrasse 74, 01307, Dresden, Germany.
Purpose: The role of lung biopsy for evaluation of persistent chest radiographic abnormalities including secondary organizing pneumonia (OP) in COVID-19 remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of trans-bronchial forceps biopsy (TBFB) in patients with persistent lung abnormalities on thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan following SARS-CoV-2 infection with particular focus on cases with OP and immunocompromised (IC) patients.
Methods: Descriptive retrospective single center analysis of all TBFB performed for diffuse lung parenchymal changes after COVID-19 03-2020 to 06-2023.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a critical clinical disease caused by direct factors (inhalation injury, gastroesophageal reflux, ) or indirect factors (including infection, sepsis, burn, shock, trauma, acute pancreatitis, fat embolism, drug overdose, ). ALI is characterized mainly by diffuse interstitial and alveolar edema caused by an uncontrolled inflammatory response and damage to the alveoli-capillary barrier and has very high morbidity and mortality rates. Currently, there is no effective treatment strategy other than mechanical ventilation, fluid management or other supportive treatments.

Background: Recently, genetic mutations in surfactant protein C (SFTPC) have been linked to diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD). The present study investigated mutations among Iranian patients with DPLD for the first time.
Materials And Methods: In this study, we examined 28 patients diagnosed with DPLD.
A shape-adaptive hydrogel with dual antibacterial and osteogenic properties for alveolar bone defect repair.

Alveolar bone defects are often irregular in shape and can severely affect patients' physical and psychological well-being, posing significant challenges in treatment, particularly in cases complicated by systemic diseases. This study presents a shape-adaptive hydrogel with sequential antibacterial and osteogenic functions designed to repair irregular bone defects associated with osteoporosis. Naringin, an estrogen analogue, was conjugated to the hydrogel disulfide bonds and then uniformly mixed with nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HAP) to create microspheres.

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a rare and severe complication of IgA vasculitis (IgAV). Although glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive agents are used for its treatment, there is no consensus on the optimal form of treatment. We herein report the case of a 53-year-old, female patient with IgAV.
