Respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) is a recently described entity consisted of benign glandular proliferations lined by pseudostratified respiratory epithelium. We report a case of a 22-year-old male patient with 7-year history of nasal obstruction and headache resulting from a huge left-sided nasal lesion. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance and biopsy were performed to make a provisional diagnosis of REAH originating from the left-sided inferior turbinate. The definitive diagnosis of REAH was made by histopathological examination of the removed mass. We also discuss the origin and differential diagnosis of these rare lesions.

Age-related lung function decline is associated with small airway closure and gas trapping. The mechanisms which cause these changes are not fully understood. It has been suggested that COPD is caused by accelerated ageing.

Coronaviruses (CoV) emerge suddenly from animal reservoirs to cause novel diseases in new hosts. Discovered in 2012, the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is endemic in camels in the Middle East and is continually causing local outbreaks and epidemics. While all three newly emerging human CoVs from the past 20 years (SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV) cause respiratory disease, each CoV has unique host interactions that drive differential pathogeneses.

Cellular-mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (c-Met) is an attractive target for treating multiple cancers. Despite plentiful c-Met inhibitors have been developed, some issues, including the acquired drug resistance to c-Met inhibitors, have emerged to hamper their application in clinical treatment. Degradation of c-Met offers an opportunity to solve these issues.

Currently, the trials found that the clinical efficacy of molnupiravir is lower than ritonavir-boosted nirmatrelvir. An explanation for these different efficacies in clinical treatments is still limited. The analysis method was developed and validated to simultaneously quantify nirmatrelvir, ritonavir, and beta-D-N4-hydroxycytidine (NHC) in human plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

Purpose: Allergic diseases have escalated to epidemic levels worldwide, impacting nearly 30% of the global population. Fungi are a significant source of allergens responsible for up to 6% of respiratory diseases in the general population. However, the specific cause of respiratory allergies often remains unidentified.
