Background: The factors affecting the prolonged air leak (PAL) and expansion failure in the lung in patients undergoing resection for lung malignancy were analyzed. In this context, the value of the percentage of low attenuation area (LAA%) measured on preoperative quantitative chest computed tomography (Q-: CT) in predicting the development of postoperative PAL and the expansion time of the remaining lung (ET) in patients undergoing resection for lung malignancy was investigated.
Methods: The data of 202 cases who underwent lung resection between July 2020 and December 2022 were analyzed.

Objective: To investigate the central sensitization (CS) in patients with autoimmune connective tissue diseases (ACTDs) and its relationship with disease activity, laboratory findings, medical treatments, organ involvements, and comorbidity.
Methods: One hundred and eleven patients with ACTDs and 40 healthy individuals were included. All patients were divided into three groups in terms of their diseases: Sjögren's syndrome (SS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Strongyloides hyperinfection syndrome (SHS) is a severe manifestation of the Strongyloides parasite, often occurring in immunocompromised patients due to the inability to subdue larvae autoinfection. As the parasitic burden increases, the patient can develop worsening respiratory symptoms that mimic common pathologies such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The parasite is endemic to the Appalachian region as well as subtropical and tropical areas worldwide.
