Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a very rare disease, first described by Rosen in 1958. It is characterized by the accumulation of lipoproteins in the pulmonary alveoli. Clinical and radiologic presentations are typical for the interstitial lung disease. Only few cases of this disease have been described in the Polish literature. A patient with disseminated lesions to the lungs is presented. A diagnosis was possible after an analysis of BAL fluid and histological examination of the lung tissue collected by the transbronchial biopsy.

Physical activity during summer and recognition of heatstroke prevention among patients with cardiovascular disease in an urban area of Japan: a descriptive study.
BMC Res Notes
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Nagoya Ekisaikai Hospital, Nagoya, Japan.
Objective: Patients with cardiovascular disease are considered a high-risk population for heat-related illnesses. This study aimed to describe the difference in physical activity between summer and fall among patients with cardiovascular disease and their recognition of heatstroke prevention in an urban area with high temperature conditions.
Results: We enrolled 56 outpatients who participated in cardiac rehabilitation in the summer of 2022 (median age, 75 years [interquartile range, 68-80]).
Molecular and cellular characteristics of cerebrovascular cell types and their contribution to neurodegenerative diseases.
Mol Neurodegener

The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, Cambridge, MA, USA.
Many diseases and disorders of the nervous system suffer from a lack of adequate therapeutics to halt or slow disease progression, and to this day, no cure exists for any of the fatal neurodegenerative diseases. In part this is due to the incredible diversity of cell types that comprise the brain, knowledge gaps in understanding basic mechanisms of disease, as well as a lack of reliable strategies for delivering new therapeutic modalities to affected areas. With the advent of single cell genomics, it is now possible to interrogate the molecular characteristics of diverse cell populations and their alterations in diseased states.

Italian National Registry of Implantable Prostheses (RIPI), Italian National Institute of Health, Viale Regina Elena 299, 00161, Rome, Italy.
Background: Treatment of ankle osteoarthritis by total ankle replacement (TAR) is increasing worldwide. The aim of the study was to present the overall temporal trends of TAR throughout 22 years (2001-2022) in Italy, analyzing the distributions of hospitals by volume of activity and patients by age and sex, drawing on the National Hospital Discharge Record database. Furthermore, as a secondary aim, we compared these trends with those of ankle fusions.
