This case report highlights a rare occurrence of respiratory distress caused by a peripheral osteoma on the lingual mandibular surface. It underscores the importance for otolaryngologists to consider atypical bone growths in differential diagnoses of dyspnea. The case emphasises the value of CBCT in detecting and managing such uncommon maxillofacial pathologies affecting the upper airway.

- The respiratory system is vital for oxygen absorption and carbon dioxide expulsion, helping to maintain the body's acid-base balance and metabolic stability.
- The outbreak of COVID-19 has highlighted the need for new treatments for respiratory diseases, leading to renewed interest in Tanshinone IIA, a bioactive compound traditionally used for heart diseases.
- Research shows Tanshinone IIA has various therapeutic effects, including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, and it shows promise in treating conditions like asthma and lung cancer, making it a valuable focus for future studies.

Background: Chronic respiratory diseases (CRPD) are a global health threat characterized by oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, hypoxemia, and respiratory distress. Inflammatory indicators such as hemoglobin-to-red blood cell distribution width ratio (HRR) have been explored in relation to diseases of the respiratory system, but the correlation between HRR and pulmonary function has not been established. As part of this study, a representative sample of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) respondents aged 40 or over was used to examine the correlation between HRR and pulmonary function indices.

Post-extubation stridor poses a significant challenge in critical care settings, often necessitating prompt intervention to prevent respiratory compromise and potential reintubation. This case report details the successful management of post-extubation stridor in a 55-year-old female patient with a complex medical history, using heliox therapy. Heliox, a gas mixture of helium and oxygen, has emerged as a novel therapeutic option in such scenarios, owing to its ability to reduce airway resistance and improve gas flow dynamics.

Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor encephalitis (NMDARE) is an autoimmune disorder with a clinical presentation that overlaps with that of a myriad of neuropsychiatric conditions. Delays in diagnosis have been linked to long-term complications that affect a patient's quality of life. A 60-year-old female patient with a medical history of emphysema with chronic respiratory failure, hypertension, diabetes, morbid obesity, and hyperlipidemia presented to the hospital after she was found confused at home with limited verbal output, raising concerns for cerebrovascular events or toxic metabolic encephalitis.
