Aims: Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) injury predominantly causes acute lung injury (ALI), and in severe instances, acute respiratory distress syndrome, both associated with high mortality. Electroacupuncture (EA) excels in regulating autonomic nervous system balance and safeguarding organ function. This study delved into EA's impacts and mechanisms on II/R-induced ALI.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective anti-tumor agents, but new immune-related side effects (irAEs) are emerging. This retrospective cohort study investigated 461 lung cancer patients treated with ICIs over 2 years, analyzing changes in pulmonary artery diameter (PAD), aortic diameter (AoD), and the pulmonary artery/aortic diameter (PAD/AoD) ratio through chest computed tomography (CT) at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-treatment. The PAD increased from 25.

Background: Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) improves haemodynamics in patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Previous studies on BPA have set the treatment objective to achieve a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) of <30 mm Hg. However, the clinical impact of mPAP after BPA remains unclear.

Background: Masses in the right ventricle are uncommon, but if present, they are most often attributed to either primary cardiac tumors or metastatic disease.

Case Summary: A 50-year-old woman presented with progressive lower extremity edema and was diagnosed with a right ventricular mass causing severe tricuspid insufficiency and near-total obstruction of the pulmonary artery. She had a history of hysterectomy for uterine leiomyomatosis.
