Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary airway dystrophy (PAD) is a rare condition that can be either inherited or developed, with limited research on how air pressure changes during airplane trips or high-altitude situations impact it.
- Studies indicate that all PAD cases have been linked to accidents during exposure to varying air pressures, necessitating careful consideration of each individual case to tailor recommendations based on the disease's origin and severity.
- Establishing a register for cases of barotrauma in individuals with cystic lung disease or pulmonary bullae related to PAD could provide valuable insights and improve patient management.

There is limited evidence regarding the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the epidemiology of thoracic and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate changes in medical visits for these conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic. We analyzed the entire Korean population (~50 million) for monthly medical visits for 15 common thoracic and cardiovascular conditions, including pneumothorax, large bullae, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, thymoma, empyema, mediastinitis, esophageal rupture, multiple rib fractures, hemothorax, rib mass, varicose vein, pectus excavatum, aortic dissection, aortic aneurysm, and valve disease from January 2019 to December 2021.

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by subepidermal blister formation, primarily affecting elderly individuals. While BP has been associated with malignancies, the exact nature of this relationship remains unclear. We report the case of a 72-year-old man who presented with pruritic cutaneous lesions, including tense vesicles and bullae and was diagnosed with BP.

A 46-year-old woman on low-dose estrogen-progestin (LEP) therapy for endometriosis developed a right-sided pneumothorax. Surgical findings included a pulmonary bulla in the right middle lung lobe and a small hole in the center tendon of the diaphragm, both of which were partially resected. Histopathology confirmed the presence of endometrial tissue, leading to a diagnosis of thoracic endometriosis.
