Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is a pathological condition determined as an increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure ≥25 mmHg. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is precapillary PHT and a life-threatening disease group which consists of different etiologies with the same pathological and clinical findings, and which is characterized by elevated pulmonary vascular resistance. Dasatinib is a dual Src/Abl kinase inhibitor associated with higher affinity for BCR/ABL kinase than imatinib, and is used in the treatment of chronic myelocytic leukemia and Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We describe a case with ALL, in whom dasatinib treatment induced PAH, and who recovered with bosentan treatment.

Department of Geriatrics, Healthy Ageing Research Centre, Medical University of Lodz, 92-209 Lodz, Poland.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate which anthropometric index, either body mass index (BMI) or weight-adjusted waist index (WWI), is more accurately associated with the prevalence of the most common chronic diseases and components of geriatric assessment in hospitalized older adults.
Methods: The study included a total of 2945 hospitalized older adults (median age 82 years). The associations between the presence of chronic diseases and Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) results were compared with WWI and BMI values.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, famously known as the "Roof of the World", has witnessed a surge in individuals traveling or working there. However, a considerable percentage of these individuals may suffer from acute mountain sickness (AMS), with high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) being a severe and potentially life-threatening manifestation. HAPE disrupts the balance of intrapulmonary tissue fluid, resulting in severe lung function impairment.

A 75-Year-Old Man With Supine Hypotension.
Chest
January 2025
Section of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine; Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.
A 75-year-old patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and hypertension was admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain secondary to a choledochal cyst resulting in biliary dilation. His hospital course was complicated by pneumonia, encephalopathy, and lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) that initially did not lead to hemodynamic compromise. To further evaluate the LGIB, a colonoscopy was performed, during which he experienced significant hypotension after being placed in the supine position and given anesthesia.
