Article Abstract
Bronchial disruption is a catastrophic consequence of blunt thoracic trauma with high pre-hospital lethality. This injury is classically managed through a large thoracotomy incision to facilitate adequate exposure for open repair. Here, we describe a case of complete bronchus intermedius disruption following a motor vehicle accident that was repaired via robotic thoracoscopy. The patient sustained multi-system trauma, including a grade III liver laceration, an innominate artery pseudoaneurysm, and femoral condyle fracture, all of which required systematic intervention and multi-disciplinary coordination to best facilitate this patient's care. This patient recovered well from his multiple injuries and was discharged after an uneventful post-operative course.

Salient Observations from Clinical Profile and Long-Term Outcome of a Cohort of Patients with Ectopic Cushing's Syndrome.
Indian J Endocrinol Metab
August 2025
Department of Endocrinology, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India.
Introduction: Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)/corticotropin-releasing hormone production by tumours causes 5-10% of Cushing's syndrome cases. We present a 21-patient case series with ectopic Cushing's syndrome (ECS) from a tertiary care institute in India.
Methods: Data were collected retrospectively for patients from 1984 to 2004 and prospectively thereafter till 2019.
CFTR ion transport deficiency primes the epithelium for partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cystic fibrosis.

Introduction: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a monogenic disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which encodes a Cl/HCO ion channel located at the apical plasma membrane (PM) of epithelial cells. CFTR dysfunction disrupts epithelial barrier integrity, drives progressive airway remodelling and has been associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process in which cells lose epithelial properties and acquire mesenchymal characteristics. We previously demonstrated that mutant CFTR directly drives partial EMT, independently of secondary events such as bacterial infection or inflammation.

Mobile genetic elements play an essential part in the infectious process of major pathogens, yet the role of prophage dynamics in pathogenesis is still not well understood. Here, we studied the impact of the Φ13 converting prophage, whose integration inactivates the β-toxin gene, on staphylococcal pathogenesis. We showed that prophage Φ13 is lost in approximately half the bacterial population during the course of infection.

Division of Pulmonology, University Hospital Zurich, 8091 Zurich, Switzerland.
Background: Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) is the leading cause of late morbidity and mortality following lung transplantation. Increasing evidence implicates microaspiration, often secondary to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction, as a critical non-alloimmune driver of CLAD. However, its often silent presentation, diagnostic complexity, and heterogeneous management contribute to persistent knowledge and treatment gaps.

In this study, effects of environmental carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) on deregulation of sphingolipid (SL) and glycosphingolipid (GSL) metabolism were studied during BaP-induced transformation of normal human bronchial epithelial HBEC-12KT cells. After 2-weeks of exposure, BaP altered their morphology, while it downregulated sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and upregulated sphingosine, gangliosides, GM3 and Lc3 GSLs. A longer, 8-week exposure to BaP, further increased cell migratory capacity, induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and EMT-related transcriptional regulators (SNAI1, ZEB1 and ZEB2), and it increased intracellular sphingosine, ceramide-1-phosphate, as well as a series of GSLs (glucosylceramide, lactosylceramide, GM1a, GD3, Lc3 and Gb3).
