Introduction: This study aimed to analyze the levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 as biomarkers for identifying lung anatomical and functional abnormalities in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Methodology: Adult COVID-19 patients hospitalized between October and December 2021 were included in the study. MMP-9 and TIMP-1 levels were measured from the blood.

Introduction: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is commonly used for diagnosing mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Despite a low complication rate, severe hemorrhage can occur which is reported in this literature, particularly in hypervascular conditions like Castleman disease.
Methods: A 54-year-old male with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease underwent EBUS-TBNA for mediastinal lymph node sampling.

Objectives: This study assessed the association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) severity and postoperative mortality among patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and complex endovascular aortic repair (CEVAR).
Methods: A retrospective review of the Vascular Quality Initiative database identified elective TEVAR and CEVAR cases from 2013-2022 with endograft proximal landing zone ≥2 for thoracic or complex abdominal aortic disease. Symptomatic disease, ruptures, and urgent/emergent surgeries were excluded.

Background: Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) reduced mortality for blunt aortic injury (BAI) from 30-50% to < 10%; however, penetrating traumatic aortic injury (PAI) remains highly lethal (>40% mortality). This study's goal is to determine outcomes of TEVAR for PAI.
Methods: Patients undergoing TEVAR for traumatic aortic injuries were identified from the Vascular Quality Initiative database from 2011-2022.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the utility of fetal MRI in prenatal diagnosis.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, including all pregnant women who underwent fetal MRI at a single French university center from 2018 to 2022. Fetal MRI findings were deemed "concordant" if they matched the ultrasound diagnosis.
