Background And Objective: The association between interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) and various conditions and diseases, including drug-related pneumonitis (DRP), has been reported. However, the association of the presence of ILA with developing DRP in patients undergoing cytotoxic agent-based chemotherapy, one of the standard treatments for malignancies, remains unclear. This warrants urgent investigation.

Background: Microcardia and cardiomegaly are good diagnostic and prognostic tools for several diseases. This study investigated the distribution of microcardia and cardiomegaly among students of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) in Ghana to determine the prevalence of microcardia and cardiomegaly across gender, and to evaluate the correlation between the presence of these heart conditions and age.
Methods: This retrospective study involved a review of 4519 postero-anterior (PA) chest X-rays (CXRs) between 2020 and 2023.

: Blunt thoracic trauma possesses unique physiopathological traits due to the complex interaction of immune and coagulation systems in the lung tissue. Hemogram-based ratios such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte × platelet (NLPR) ratios have been studied as proxies for immune dysregulation and survival in trauma. We hypothesized that blunt thoracic trauma patients exhibit distinct patterns of coagulation and inflammation abnormalities identifiable by the use of readily available hemogram-derived markers.

STIL is a regulatory protein essential for centriole biogenesis, and its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including malignancies. However, its role in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) remains unclear. In this study, we examined STIL expression and its potential association with chromosomal numerical abnormalities (CNAs) in NSCLC using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, immunohistochemical analysis, and in vitro experiments with NSCLC cell lines designed to overexpress STIL.
