Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is a condition that is characterized by acute onset respiratory distress that uncommonly can cause diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). Our case is based on a 41-year-old female with a past medical history of seizure disorder who presented for shortness of breath and hemoptysis after a seizure. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the lungs revealed patchy ground glass subpleural airspace opacities bilaterally with increased secondary pulmonary lobule interstitial thickening. With concerns for DAH, a bronchoscopy was performed and revealed sequentially bloody aliquots. Infectious and autoimmune testing was negative. This case highlights a rare form of DAH arising from NPE.

Deep learning enhanced transmembranous electromyography in the diagnosis of sleep apnea.
BMC Neurosci
December 2024
Powell Mansfield, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is widespread, under-recognized, and under-treated, impacting the health and quality of life for millions. The current gold standard for sleep apnea testing is based on the in-lab sleep study, which is costly, cumbersome, not readily available and represents a well-known roadblock to managing this huge societal burden. Assessment of neuromuscular function involved in the upper airway using electromyography (EMG) has shown potential to characterize and diagnose sleep apnea, while the development of transmembranous electromyography (tmEMG), a painless surface probe, has made this opportunity practical and highly feasible.

Article Synopsis
- Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a growing global clinical challenge, making early identification of high-risk patients crucial for controlling infection spread and improving treatment.
- A study involving 152 patients classified them into carbapenem-resistant and non-resistant groups, findings indicated that patients with CRKP had higher APACHE II scores and neurogenic dysphagia, both significant risk factors.
- A new predictive model utilizing APACHE II scores and neurogenic dysphagia showed improved risk classification, successfully reclassifying over 24% of individuals into a higher risk category for CRKP infection.
Acceptance and the influencing factors towards intermittent self-catheterisation among patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction in China: a multicentre cross-sectional study.

Department of Nursing, Southern Medical University, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China
Objectives: The psychological acceptance of intermittent self-catheterisation (ISC) significantly impacts its initial adoption and long-term compliance among patients. However, our understanding of this acceptance remains limited. This study aims to investigate ISC's psychological acceptance and identify influencing factors among neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) patients in China.

Article Synopsis
- HyperCKaemia, or elevated serum creatine kinase (CK), is frequently seen in various myopathies but can also occur in neurological disorders, making diagnosis challenging.
- A case of a 58-year-old man illustrates the complexity, as he had a long history of muscle cramps and high CK levels, and was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A through genetic testing.
- Further genetic testing revealed a new variant related to dystrophinopathy, emphasizing the need to thoroughly investigate high CK levels in patients, even those with neurogenic disorders, to ensure proper monitoring for possible myopathy-related complications.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) is characterized by airflow limitation, chronic inflammation and airway remodeling (AR) in airways and lung parenchyma. AR, a lung response, involves mucus production, airflow issues, and structural changes. It is exacerbated by neurogenic inflammation from activated sensory nerves, highlighting the interplay between neuronal and immune regulation in COPD.
