Background: Anaphylaxis is a systemic allergic reaction that is potentially life-threatening. Occupational anaphylaxis is an anaphylaxis that occurs in an occupational context. In this position paper, we propose diagnostic criteria for occupational anaphylaxis and provide an overview of the current state of knowledge in terms of prevalence, triggers, prevention, and management.

Background: Adverse drug events (ADEs) for endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) and prostacyclin-related drugs (PRDs) have been reported in clinical trials, but large-scale, real-world evaluations for respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders (RTMD) remain scarce.

Methods: A pharmacovigilance analysis of the FAERS database (Q1 2004~Q2 2024) used the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method for disproportionality analysis to assess the adverse drug events (ADEs) of ERAs and PRDs in pulmonary arterial hypertension, focusing on risks related to RTMD.

Results: Reports of ADEs for ERAs (bosentan, ambrisentan, and macitentan) were 15,286, 36795, and 17,497, respectively, and for PRDs (epoprostenol, treprostinil, iloprost, and selexipag) were 5,477, 57265, 3,247, and 5,504.

Background: Vancomycin infusion reaction (VIR), reportedly mediated through Mas-Related G Protein-Coupled Receptor-X2, is the primary vancomycin-induced immediate drug reaction. Clinically, distinguishing the underlying drug-induced immediate drug reaction mechanisms is crucial for future treatment strategies, including drug restriction, re-administration, and pretreatment considerations. However, the lack of validated diagnostic tests makes this challenging, often leading to unnecessary drug restriction.

Introduction Chronotropic incompetence (CI) and heart rate (HR) recovery at one minute post-exercise (HRR1) have been proposed as indicators of autonomic imbalance. We retrospectively studied the presence of CI and HRR1 attained on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and those with interstitial lung disease with pulmonary hypertension (ILD-PHTN). Methods A total of 32 patients (21 had ILD alone; 11 had ILD-PHTN) underwent CPET performed per American Thoracic Society protocol on a manually-braked bicycle.

Article Synopsis
  • Lung needle biopsies can introduce air into blood vessels, leading to potential complications like arterial gas embolism (AGE), but there isn’t an established treatment for asymptomatic cases.
  • This report details two cases where asymptomatic patients developed intra-arterial air after lung biopsies, and they were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) using the USNTT 5 protocol.
  • Both patients showed successful removal of air from their vessels and were discharged without lasting issues, indicating that HBOT can be effective even for asymptomatic cases.
