Lung cancer mortality among adults with diabetes: a retrospective analysis
Abstract Background Both lung cancer and diabetes are the leading causes of death worldwide. These two conditions commonly coexist, especially in older patients, and result in worsening of prognosis and lower survival rates. Very limited scientific data are available about their correlation…

Eosinophilic endotype as a predictor of NIV success in COPD exacerbation with acute respiratory failure
Abstract Background Many studies have been conducted on the impact of eosinophilia in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients; however, there is a lack of clear data showing the relationship with the success of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in exacerbations. This study aimed to…

Diagnostic accuracy of spirometry, CT, and virtual bronchoscopy for laryngotracheal stenosis: a meta-analysis and evidence-based pathway
Abstract Background Diagnostic delays in laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) are common due to non-specific symptoms and reliance on invasive laryngotracheobronchoscopy (LTB). The comparative accuracy and optimal clinical roles of non-invasive alternatives—spirometry, computed tomography (CT), and CT…

Relationship between the monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio (MHR) and COPD: a cross-sectional study based on NHANES 2009–2018
Abstract Background The monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio (MHR) is a novel inflammatory marker, yet its association with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unclear. This study investigated the relationship between MHR and COPD in the general US population. Methods We analyzed data from…

Beyond recurrent infections: a rare case of Mounier-Kuhn syndrome with tracheobronchial dilatation
Abstract Mounier Kuhn syndrome (MKS), also known as tracheobronchomegaly (TBM), is a very rare and chronic airway disease characterized by marked dilatation of the trachea and central bronchi. Currently, there are few epidemiological studies on MKS, and most data are derived from case reports…

Biologic therapies in type 2 asthma: mechanisms, clinical evidence, and impact in high-altitude populations
Abstract Asthma is a common chronic airway disease, and type 2 asthma is typically characterised by eosinophilic airway inflammation and a suboptimal response to conventional therapies. The advent of biologic agents has driven a paradigm shift towards precision medicine in asthma management…

Association between serum magnesium levels and severity of acute exacerbations in COPD: a cross-sectional study
Abstract Background Magnesium has an established role in respiratory physiology, but its relationship with the severity of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) remains unclear. This study evaluated whether serum magnesium levels are associated with exacerbation…

Utility of computed tomography in differentiation between different groups of pulmonary hypertension in SLE patients
Abstract Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Its etiology in SLE is heterogeneous and includes vasculopathy, interstitial lung disease (ILD), left-sided heart dysfunction, and chronic thromboembolic…

Safety and efficacy of nebulized nitroglycerin as a vaso-reactive agent in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Abstract Background Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive vascular disease characterized by elevation in both mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), ending by right ventricular hypertrophy then failure. Acute vaso-reactivity testing (AVT) is…

Aspiration of a dental implant driver: a rare endobronchial foreign body successfully removed by uniportal VATS bronchotomy
Abstract Foreign body aspiration in adults is uncommon and often presents with vague, misleading symptoms, which may resemble infection, asthma, or malignancy. This diagnostic challenge can delay appropriate management. While most cases occur in children, adult aspiration is typically associated…
