Lung metastasis showing radiographic findings of air-space consolidation is considered to be rare. This report describes the case of a man with progressive left lower lobe air-space consolidation with a history of hepatocellular carcinoma. The pulmonary lesion was initially suspected to be infection and later clinically diagnosed as primary adenocarcinoma of the lung. Although the patient was treated with systemic chemotherapy, the disease progressed very rapidly. A postmortem examination revealed that the alveolar spaces were filled with neoplastic cells subsequently proven to be metastases of combined hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma.

Pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma (PEAC), an uncommon variant of lung cancer, presents significant diagnostic challenges due to its overlapping characteristics with colorectal adenocarcinomas. We present a case of a 55-year-old non-smoking female patient diagnosed with PEAC. The patient's initial symptoms included fever, cough, and sputum production, with air space consolidation on CT, leading to an initial diagnosis of pneumonia.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiac arrest during air medical transport poses unique challenges due to limited space, small teams, and the need for quick decisions, leading to complex management issues.
- The article reviews existing literature to address these challenges and proposes improvements based on American Heart Association guidelines aimed at enhancing patient outcomes.
- The authors identify and discuss three distinct phases of cardiac arrest management in the air medical setting: pre-arrest, intra-arrest, and post-arrest, focusing on strategies for effective care throughout each phase.
Limitations of Triage in Military Mass Casualty Response: A Case Series.

Introduction: Mass casualty events (MASCALs) in the combat environment, which involve large numbers of casualties that overwhelm immediately available resources, are fundamentally chaotic and dynamic and inherently dangerous. Formal triage systems use diagnostic algorithms, colored markers, and four or more named categories. We hypothesized that formal triage systems are inadequately trained and practiced and too complex to successfully implement in true MASCAL events.

Topic Importance: Chest CT imaging holds a major role in the diagnosis of lung diseases, many of which affect the peribronchovascular region. Identification and categorization of peribronchovascular abnormalities on CT imaging can assist in formulating a differential diagnosis and directing further diagnostic evaluation.
Review Findings: The peribronchovascular region of the lung encompasses the pulmonary arteries, airways, and lung interstitium.
Optimality principles in spacecraft neural guidance and control.

This Review discusses the main results obtained in training end-to-end neural architectures for guidance and control of interplanetary transfers, planetary landings, and close-proximity operations, highlighting the successful learning of optimality principles by the underlying neural models. Spacecraft and drones aimed at exploring our solar system are designed to operate in conditions where the smart use of onboard resources is vital to the success or failure of the mission. Sensorimotor actions are thus often derived from high-level, quantifiable, optimality principles assigned to each task, using consolidated tools in optimal control theory.
