To analyze the secondary pulmonary infection and the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in children with tracheobronchial foreign body, and to guide the clinical treatment. The clinical data of 197 children with tracheobronchial foreign bodies confirmed by rigid bronchoscopy were reviewed. According to the clinical manifestations and signs, blood routine, chest CT and airway endocrine pathogen distribution, the secondary pulmonary infection was analyzed. Seventy-five of 197 children with foreign bodies in tracheobronchial had secondary pulmonary infections. Among them, 32 cases of airway endocrine cultured pathogenic bacteria, mainly including Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. Children with long preoperative history, fever, and with a history of using antibiotics are more likely to have secondary pulmonary infections. The duration of disease history, preoperative fever and the use of antibiotics are related to secondary pulmonary infection. The third generation of cephalosporins can effectively control the infection.

Purpose: Initial recommendations for ECMO had relative contraindications for low birth weight (BW) or low gestational age (GA) babies. However, more recent literature has demonstrated improved and acceptable outcomes of ECMO in smaller neonates. The purpose of this study was to understand both utilization and survival in patients with lower GA and BW.

Background: Worldwide, lung cancer (LC) is the second most frequent cancer and the leading cause of cancer related mortality. Low-dose CT (LDCT) screening reduced LC mortality by 20-24% in randomised trials of high-risk populations. A significant proportion of those screened have nodules detected that are found to be benign.

This review will describe various disease processes resulting in pulmonary vasculitis. The clinical and imaging findings in these diseases often overlap with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage secondary to pulmonary capillaritis, a common manifestation in many of these diseases. A multidisciplinary approach is important for the correct diagnosis of these diseases, and this review will highlight the important imaging findings that radiologists need to be aware of to aid in this diagnostic process.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is pulmonary hypertension secondary to chronic obstruction of pulmonary arteries by organized thromboemboli. Echocardiography and Echocardiography and ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) scan are the initial screening examinations for CTEPH; the diagnosis is often missed on computed tomography (CT). Imaging findings of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease overlap with those of acute pulmonary embolism, and radiologists should evaluate for the presence of concurrent chronic disease in all cases of acute pulmonary embolism detected on CT pulmonary angiography.
