Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are pathologies affecting the pulmonary interstitium and, less frequently, the alveolar and vascular epithelia. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is commonly used in ILD evaluation since it allows the sampling of the lower respiratory tract. The prognostic value of BAL cell counts in ILD is unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Intestinal tuberculosis accounts for 10% of extrapulmonary TB cases and is often confused with other gastrointestinal diseases like Crohn's Disease due to similar symptoms.
- Diagnosing this infection is challenging because it has few bacteria present, making it hard to identify.
- A case study of a 57-year-old patient initially diagnosed with Crohn's Disease showed no improvement with treatment, leading to a later diagnosis of Intestinal Tuberculosis, which improved with the right therapy.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon, progressive, benign condition favoring synovial metaplasia resulting from the production of cartilaginous tissue as loose bodies within the joints. In rare cases, it can affect the interior of the shoulder joint and present with pain, edema, and impaired mobility. The diagnosis is challenging, requiring imaging techniques.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is rare in the shoulder, with few descriptions in the literature. We present the case of a 58-year-old female patient with no history of trauma. The patient reported pain for 2 months with no limb irradiation and presented lifting strength loss and progressive limitation of active and passive mobility.

Background: Lupus podocytopathy (LP) is a non-immune complex-mediated glomerular lesion in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), characterized by the diffuse effacement of podocyte processes without immune complex deposition or with only mesangial immune complex deposition. LP is a rare cause of nephrotic syndrome in SLE patients with implications for prognosis and treatment.
Case Report: We present the case of a 28-year-old woman with a medical history of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who presented with lower limb edema, dyspnea, hypercholesterolemia, with nephrotic range proteinuria, without acute kidney injury, and laboratory findings compatible with auto-immune hemolytic anemia.
