Inhalation of multiple pen caps causing bronchial foreign bodies: a rare case in an older child.
BMC Pediatr
January 2025
Department of Pulmonology, Tianjin Children's Hospital (Children's Hospital of Tianjin University), Machang compus, 225 Machang Road, Hexi District, Tianjin, 300074, China.
Background: Foreign body inhalation is rare in older children, often leading to underdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Most cases involve a single foreign body, but instances of multiple foreign bodies are exceedingly uncommon. This report presents a case of an elder child who inhaled two pen caps, emphasizing the need for clinical vigilance and thorough medical history collection.

Background: Many respiratory viruses attack the airway epithelium and cause a wide spectrum of diseases for which we have limited therapies. To date, a few primary human stem cell-based models of the proximal airway have been reported for drug discovery but scaling them up to a higher throughput platform remains a significant challenge. As a result, most of the drug screening assays for respiratory viruses are performed on commercial cell line-based 2D cultures that provide limited translational ability.

Department of Thoracic and Vascular Surgery, and Lung Transplantation, Marie-Lannelongue Hospital, Le Plessis-Robinson, France.
Background: Post-pneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a life-threatening event whose treatment is not standardized.
Case Presentation: We report the management of a 28-year-old patient with a 3-year history of BPF complicating right pneumonectomy for congenital emphysema. Despite closure by an Amplatzer device, the patient had chronic pyothorax and severely deteriorated general health and quality of life.
[Bronchiectasis in patients with severe asthma : a narrative literature review].

Service de Pneumologie, CHU Liège, Belgique.
Asthma is a common respiratory disease, accounting for 3 to 10 % of severe cases. Among these, bronchiectasis is more frequent (prevalence between 15.5 % and 67.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFGenome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants robustly associated with asthma. A potential near-term clinical application is to calculate polygenic risk score (PRS) to improve disease risk prediction. The value of PRS, as part of numerous multi-source variables used to define asthma, remains unclear.
