We describe a case of pulmonary hyperplasia associated with tracheal atresia and a complete obstruction to the egress of pulmonary secretions. In classical pulmonary hyperplasia associated with cartilagenous laryngeal atresia and a persistent pharyngotracheal duct, the histologic appearance of the lungs is normal but exhibits "synchronous" hypermaturity. The histologic pattern in our case is much less mature, resembles CAM type III, and exhibits "asynchronous" development. We suggest that these histologic patterns be distinguished and that pulmonary hyperplasia is probably underrecognized and not nearly as rare as previously thought.

Background And Aims: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder characterized by nonnecrotizing granulomas. Studies suggest 20%-70% of patients with sarcoidosis have abnormal liver chemistries or abdominal imaging. Hepatic sarcoidosis may be complicated by portal hypertension (portal HTN) with or without cirrhosis.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and the resultant COVID-19 pneumonia cause significant damage to the airway and lung epithelium. This damage manifests as mucus hypersecretion, pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis, which often lead to long-term complications collectively referred to as long COVID or post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). The airway epithelium, as the first line of defence against respiratory pathogens, depends on airway basal stem cells (BSCs) for regeneration.

Increasing epidemiological evidence has proved that early-life exposure to inorganic arsenic (As) elevates the risks of childhood asthma. The present research aimed to explore susceptibility of respiratory As exposure to allergic asthma in a mouse model. BALB/c mice on postnatal day (PND) 28 were exposed to ddHO or NaAsO aerosol for 4 hours daily over 5 consecutive weeks via respiratory tract.
