Alveolar hemorrhage (AH) is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome with a high mortality rate that is characterized by extensive bleeding into the alveolar spaces. AH usually develops secondary to immunological disease and, less frequently, to drug use. Presently described is the case of an 86-year-old woman with AH who had been using rivaroxaban for 6 months.

Pharyngitis is commonly caused by the gram positive bacteria, streptococcus. Given the potential morbid complications of untreated streptococcal pharyngitis, antibiotics are critical. One of the rarer complications is pulmonary-renal syndrome (PRS), defined as rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.

Introduction: Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (AFOP) is a severe form of acute lung injury which can occur after lung transplantation. Treatment is empiric, based on immunosuppressive regimens and the mortality rate is very high.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a young lung transplant (LT) recipient who developed AFOP following a respiratory viral infection while on suboptimal maintenance immunosuppression due to adherence issues.
Evaluation of the location of posterior superior alveolar artery and infraorbital foramen originating from the same source by using cone beam computed tomography.

Faculty of Dentistry Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Ondokuz Mayıs University, Atakum/Samsun, Turkey.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, location and diameters of Posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) and Infraorbital foramen (IOF) to find out whether there is any relationship between PSAA and IOF, and to predict their location relative to each other in surgical procedures by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Material And Method: Bilateral maxillary sinuses were analysed retrospectively in 170 patients with no missing teeth in the maxillary posterior region. The largest locations of PSAA and IOF in the maxillary sinus were determined and their size, shape, location in relation to the teeth and distances from anatomical points were evaluated.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Eshisehir Osmangazi University, Eskisehir, Türkiye.
Background: Percutaneous sclerotherapy as endovascular treatment may cause severe complications beside the target area. Pulmonary embolism and thrombosis may occur. In this regard, our study aimed to reveal whether increasing systemic doses of polidocanol affects the coronary or pulmonary alveolar levels.

Pulmonary disorders are exacerbated by high blood sugar, leading to a disordered immune defense and increased susceptibility to infection. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is characterized by insulin resistance and inadequate insulin production. Mechanisms leading to pulmonary alternation due to T2D are not clear.
