Background: Acquired bronchobiliary fistula (BBF) is a rare but life-threatening complication that can occur as a result of oncological processes, inflammatory reactions, parasite infections, thoracoabdominal trauma, or invasive procedures associated with iatrogenic injury. However, the potential etiology of BBF caused by instrumental issues when using ultrasonic scalpels resulting in diathermy burn and its post-burn effects has never been reported.
Case Presentation: Herein, we present a case of a 65-year-old woman who developed BBF one month after hepatectomy and presented with refractory irritating cough accompanied by yellow bitter sputum.

A 69-year-old man had experienced right chest pain for several months. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a right upper lobe lung tumor and swelling of multiple mediastinal and right hilar lymph node.

Background: Severe equine asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lung in horses similar to low-Th2 late-onset asthma in humans. This study aimed to determine the utility of RNA-Seq to call gene sequence variants, and to identify sequence variants of potential relevance to the pathogenesis of asthma.
Methods: RNA-Seq data were generated from endobronchial biopsies collected from six asthmatic and seven non-asthmatic horses before and after challenge (26 samples total).

The use of Endobronchial coils are a relatively new brochoscopic technique for lung volume reduction. They appear to be safe and effective in improving quality of life, reducing morbidity and mortality related to the primary disease, while avoiding the many risks of morbidity and mortality associated with surgery. Nevertheless, some complications, such as pneumothorax, are relatively common in the periprocedural period.
