Objective: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of alveolar epithelial cells is an important mechanism for the onset and development of broncho-pulmonary dysplasia (BPD).The role of FGF-2 in BPD is currently unclear. The aim of our study is to investigate the expression of FGF-2 in lung tissue of BPD mice, to further clarify the effect of FGF-2 on EMT in alveolar epithelial cells and to actively search for possible signaling pathways.

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital condition wherein a nonfunctional lung segment, arising separately from the true lung bud, develops within the chest cavity but lacks communication with the tracheobronchial tree or pulmonary arterial supply.

We present a 37-year-old male who presented with shortness of breath and was initially diagnosed with a pulmonary abscess.

Background: Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are a heterogeneous group of tumours, which is characterized by rich vascularization. The role of angiogenesis in NETs has been widely researched. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an effective treatment method for patients with disease progression in NETs.

Objectives: Blood pressure control in severe hypertension of pregnancy is crucial for mother and neonate. In absence of evidence, guidelines recommend either intravenous labetalol or nicardipine. We compared the effectiveness and safety of these two drugs in women with severe hypertension in pregnancy.

Objectives: Holistic segmentation of CT structural alterations with 3D deep learning has recently been described in cystic fibrosis (CF), allowing the measurement of normalized volumes of airway abnormalities (NOVAA-CT) as an automated quantitative outcome. Clinical validations are needed, including longitudinal and multicenter evaluations.
Materials And Methods: The validation study was retrospective between 2010 and 2023.
