A 36-year-old woman at 23 weeks and 3 days of gestation experienced a witnessed cardiopulmonary collapse. Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was initiated immediately. After advanced life support, she was transferred under mechanical CPR to a hospital for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease with an important course due to systemic compromise. SLE is frequently associated with antiphospholipid syndrome, and pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) is particularly common. It is extremely rare for PE to be the initial clinical presentation and even more uncommon for it to coincide with cardiac tamponade, representing a challenge in diagnosis and management.

The therapeutic value of lipid-lowering drugs in pulmonary vascular disease remains uncertain due to insufficient studies and evidence. This study aims to investigate the causal effects of lipid-lowering drugs (specifically, inhibitors of APOB, CETP, HMGCR, NPC1L1, and PCSK9) on pulmonary vascular diseases using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. We utilized summary-level statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to simulate the exposure to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and its outcomes on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), pulmonary embolism (PE), and pulmonary heart disease (PHD).

Background: To evaluate the clinical diagnostic value of third-generation dual-source CT for pulmonary embolism, focusing on the optimization of dual-source CT scanning with dynamic reconstruction in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and various imaging manifestations.
Methods: Eighty-two patients with pulmonary embolism were enrolled and randomly divided into standard CT angiography (SCTA) and dynamic CT angiography (DCTA). DCTA patients were divided into dynamic CT angiography arterial phase (DCTAa), time phase Angiography reconstruction (TMIP-CTA), and 4D noise reduction TMIP-CTA according to the image reconstruction.

The "obesity paradox" suggests that, despite a higher baseline risk for adverse health outcomes, obese patients can experience a lower complication and mortality rate in conditions such as pulmonary embolisms (PE). This study aims to examine the association between obesity and inpatient outcomes of PE patients, utilizing the data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. We conducted a retrospective study analysis of obese adult PE patients (aged ≥ 18) using the NIS database from 2016 to 2020.
