Lung cancer is the third most prevalent cancer, following breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. However, it remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality. As treatment options have advanced, the significance of accurate diagnosis has increased, enabling targeted and more personalized therapeutic treatments.

Background: Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) can be an effective treatment for highly selected patients with severe emphysema but only half of carefully selected patients derive clinical benefit. Two commercially available platforms exist to help determine candidacy for BLVR via quantitative analysis of computed tomography (CT) scans.

Objectives: To determine if the two commercially available quantitative platforms identified the same patient population that may benefit from BLVR.

The diverse types and sizes, proximity to non-nodule structures, identical shape characteristics, and varying sizes of nodules make them challenging for segmentation methods. Although many efforts have been made in automatic lung nodule segmentation, most of them have not sufficiently addressed the challenges related to the type and size of nodules, such as juxta-pleural and juxta-vascular nodules. The current research introduces a Squeeze-Excitation Dilated Attention-based Residual U-Net (SEDARU-Net) with a robust intensity normalization technique to address the challenges related to different types and sizes of lung nodules and to achieve an improved lung nodule segmentation.

Delivery of health care, including medical imaging, generates substantial global greenhouse gas emissions. The cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) community has an opportunity to decrease our carbon footprint, mitigate the effects of the climate crisis, and develop resiliency to current and future impacts of climate change. The goal of this document is to review and recommend actions and strategies to allow for CMR operation with improved sustainability, including efficient CMR protocols and CMR imaging workflow strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, energy, and waste, and to decrease reliance on finite resources, including helium and waterbody contamination by gadolinium-based contrast agents.

Snakebites are critical medical emergencies that significantly contribute to emergency department visits during monsoon seasons. This case report details a patient who experienced simultaneous arterial and venous thrombosis of major intracranial vessels due to venom-induced consumptive coagulopathy. Additionally, the patient developed diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH), highlighting the severe impact of these uncommon complications on prognosis.
