With the advent of routine sedation in digestive endoscopy, specifically the use of propofol, multiple reports have focused on the complications that may potentially emerge because of sedation, and whether administration is safer by anesthetists or trained gastroenterologists. Complications associated with endoscopy itself, whether diagnostic or therapeutic, have also been described. However, the fact that both upper and lower endoscopy per se may be accompanied by complications, both during the procedure or thereafter, is usually overlooked.

Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema after cardiac surgery is a rare but severe complication. The etiology remains poorly understood; however, the issue may arise from multiple sources. Possible causes include a significant inflammatory response or an autoimmune process.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare but severe condition characterized by persistent obstruction and vascular remodeling in the pulmonary arteries following an acute pulmonary embolism (APE). Although APE is a significant risk factor, up to 25% of CTEPH cases occur without a history of APE or deep vein thrombosis, complicating the understanding of its pathogenesis. Herein, we carried out a narrative review discussing the mechanisms involved in CTEPH development, including fibrotic thrombus formation, pulmonary vascular remodeling, and abnormal angiogenesis, leading to elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and right heart failure.

Objective assessment of respiratory and cardiovascular reserves is important for planning of total resections in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is one of the leading comorbidities in patients with newly diagnosed NSCLC. Noninvasive assessment of exercise tolerance (6-minute step test, stair test) combined with analysis of external respiratory function and diffusing capacity of lungs underlie basic testing before lung resections.

New drugs for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are emerging rapidly. However, we and others believe these drugs are achieving regulatory approval prematurely. It is the cardiorespiratory complications of DMD that cause the disease's major morbidities and that determine survival.

Purpose: Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy remains underdiagnosed in type 1 diabetes mellitus, posing a risk for severe complications, particularly in patients with lowered V̇O, compared to controls. This study aimed to determine whether heart rate variability during cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests reveals early signs of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in patients with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes mellitus and normal cardiovascular fitness, compared to healthy controls.
Methods: A type 1 diabetes mellitus group (n = 14) with no other diagnosed diseases (diabetes duration 15 ± 7 years) and a control group (n = 31) underwent deep breathing test, passive orthostatic test, and cardiopulmonary exercise test.
