Malignant lymphoma developing in the lung after therapeutic pneumothorax is a rare condition in Europe. The authors report one case admitted after a 40-year history of pyothorax resulting from artificial pneumothorax for treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. The diagnosis at admission was an infection of the chronic pyothorax associated with a lung mass. Histology confirmed the presence of non-hodgkin lymphoma B in the lung mass associated with Epstein-Barr virus. After surgery, chimiotherapy was not effective. Diagnosis before surgery could optimize the medical management. The long-term outcome is pejorative in most cases.

Introduction: A chest X-ray (CXR) is the most common imaging investigation performed worldwide. Advances in machine learning and computer vision technologies have led to the development of several artificial intelligence (AI) tools to detect abnormalities on CXRs, which may expand diagnostic support to a wider field of health professionals. There is a paucity of evidence on the impact of AI algorithms in assisting healthcare professionals (other than radiologists) who regularly review CXR images in their daily practice.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the optimal operating points of adult-oriented artificial intelligence (AI) software differ for pediatric chest radiographs and to assess its diagnostic performance. Chest radiographs from patients under 19 years old, collected between March and November 2021, were divided into test and exploring sets. A commercial adult-oriented AI software was utilized to detect lung lesions, including pneumothorax, consolidation, nodule, and pleural effusion, using a standard operating point of 15%.

Background: We aimed to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics, risk factors and prognostic factors affecting the clinical follow-up of patients who underwent tube thoracostomy due to pneumothorax in the neonatal intensive care unit of our hospital.
Methods: In our study; 54 cases with neonatal pneumothorax underwent tube thoracostomy followed up in the neonatal intensive care unit between April 2014 and March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: The gestational age of the cases was between 28 and 38 weeks; 24 (44.
