Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with a number of extraintestinal manifestations that may involve most organ systems. Extraintestinal manifestations are more common in Crohn disease (CD) and may include rheumatologic, ocular, dermatologic, biliary and pulmonary manifestations. The most common pulmonary manifestations of IBD are drug-induced lung disease. Other manifestations include parenchymal disease, pleuritis and overlap syndromes. We present a case series of 7 patients with non-infectious pulmonary manifestations of IBD, which included cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, usual interstitial pneumonitis (UIP), Langerhan's granulomatosis, and eosinophilic pneumonia. Concurrent extraintestinal manifestations present in these patients included arthralgia, iritis, and pyoderma gangrenosum. In most patients the development of pulmonary disease parallels that of the intestinal disease activity, extraintestinal manifestations and concurrent use of 5-ASA medications.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, progressive illness marked by persistent synovitis that causes substantial functional disability. Treatment delays frequently affect health-related quality of life. Extra-articular features are prevalent findings in RA, which leads to significant morbidity and mortality.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress is intricately involved in cancer development, progression and response to chemotherapy. ER stress related genes might play an important role in predicting the prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients and may be manipulated to improve the treatment outcome and overall survival rate. In this review, we analyzed the contribution of the three major ER stress pathways-IRE1, ATF6, and PERK-in lung cancer pathogenesis via modulation of tumor microenvironment (TME) and processes as metastasis, angiogenesis, apoptosis and N-glycosylation.

Objective: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is rare, but it is one of the most frequent extra-articular manifestations and a relevant cause of morbidity and mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Over the past few years, Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) have been reported to have promising efficacy in the treatment of active RA, but recent concerns have been raised about their safety profile, namely malignancy and cardiovascular disease, limiting their use to certain patient categories.
Methods: The objective of this narrative review is to summarize the current evidence of the efficacy and safety of JAKis in RA-ILD management, investigating a possible emerging role for this drug class in such subset of patients.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which regulates ion and fluid transport across epithelial cells. Mutations lead to complications, with life-limiting lung disease being the most severe manifestation. Traditional treatments focused on managing symptoms, but advances in understanding CF's molecular basis led to small-molecule CFTR modulators.

We present a four-month-old female child with hypopigmented silvery hair and a history of recurrent hospitalisations for respiratory illness. The child was extensively evaluated for inborn errors of immunity (IEI), and the final diagnosis of type 2 Griscelli syndrome was made only after genetic testing.
