Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) exhibits molecular heterogeneity, with mitochondrial damage affecting progression. The relationship between mitochondrial damage and immune infiltration, and Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA)-derived biomarkers for LUAD classification and prognosis, remains unexplored.
Aims: The objective of our research is to identify gene modules closely related to the clinical stages of LUAD using the WGCNA method.

Subcutaneous emphysema is a well-known complication of chest tube insertion that can become life-threatening. Severe cases often progress rapidly, necessitating prompt intervention to prevent complications such as airway obstruction and respiratory failure. We report the case of a 57-year-old man who developed extensive subcutaneous emphysema following chest tube insertion.

Anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (anti-MDA5) clinically linked amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) is a rare autoimmune condition strongly linked to rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD), a life-threatening complication. We present a 63-year-old female patient with anti-MDA5-positive CADM, who developed RP-ILD with an imaging pattern consistent with organizing pneumonia. She presented with Gottron's papules, periungual erythema, progressive dyspnea, and anorexia.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with BRAF V600E mutations is responsive to targeted therapies, such as dabrafenib and trametinib. However, these treatments can lead to serious adverse events, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Herein, we report the case of a 75-year-old man with stage IVB NSCLC and a BRAF V600E mutation who developed severe CRS, manifesting hepatic and renal dysfunction, following treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib.
