Sarcoma is a malignant tumor arising from the mesenchymal tissues such as striated skeletal and smooth muscles, adipose tissue, bone, cartilage, and synovial tissue. The synovial subset of primary pulmonary sarcoma is very rare and is only described in a handful of cases. Our case describes the diagnostic approach and treatment regimen for a 49-year-old male with no significant past medical history. The diagnosis of a primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma was made through the use of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA), histologic analysis, and immunostaining. The treatment utilized a multimodal approach including resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.

Purpose: Oral corticosteroids (OCS) are an effective treatment for severe uncontrolled asthma or asthma exacerbations, but frequent bursts or long-term use carry serious and sometimes irreversible adverse effects, or complications such as adrenal insufficiency upon discontinuation. Our aim was to survey people with asthma on their experiences of, and attitudes towards, using OCS.
Patients And Methods: This study was a national descriptive cross-sectional survey of people with asthma in Australia.

Background: Remote patient monitoring (RPM) has been evaluated in COPD, but with varying results. We aimed to evaluate whether a tablet system that monitors disease-related parameters in patients with COPD could influence physical and mental health-related quality of life, compared with usual care (UC).
Methods: 70 patients with Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) group D COPD (61% women, aged 71±8 years, forced expiratory volume in 1 s % predicted 41±13%, COPD Assessment Test (CAT) 19±7 points) were recruited at the COPD centre in Gothenburg, Sweden, and randomised to a tablet-based RPM system or UC for a 26-week period, after which they crossed over to the alternative management for another 26 weeks.
