Article Abstract
Introduction: Cutaneous metastases (CM) revealing lung carcinoma are extremely rare, accounting for 0.8%. The diagnosis is guided by histology and immunohistochemistry. Treatment is palliative. The prognosis is poor.
Case Presentation: This is a retrospective study of the available clinical and histological records of four North African patients with CM revealing lung cancer treated at our institute between 2004 and 2010. Three men and one woman were registered. The mean age was 54.5 years (38-74 years). Two patients had primary adenocarcinoma, one patient had small cell carcinoma and one had squamous cell carcinoma. Treatment was based on chemotherapy in two cases and antalgic radiotherapy in two cases, one patient underwent surgical resection as the lesion was infected. The overall survival after diagnosis was between one and four months.
Conclusions: A skin nodule can be the first symptom revealing lung cancer. A rare clinical presentation that should not be taken for a benign nodule, the biopsy and histological study with immunohistochemistry confirm the diagnosis.

Heart failure (HF) and lung cancer (LC) often coexist, yet their shared molecular mechanisms are unclear. We analyzed transcriptome data from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (GSE141910, GSE57338) to identify 346 HF‑related differentially expressed genes (DEGs), then combined weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) pinpointed 70 hub candidates. Further screening of these 70 hub candidates in TCGA lung cancer cohorts via LASSO, Random Forest, and multivariate Cox regression suggested CYP4B1 as the only independent prognostic marker.

The regulation of follicular (F) and germinal center (GC) immune reactivity in human lymph nodes (LNs), particularly during the acute stages of viral infection, remains poorly understood: We have analyzed lung-draining lymph nodes (LD-LNs) from COVID-19 autopsies using multiplex imaging and spatial transcriptomics to examine the immune landscape with respect to follicular immune reactivity. We identified three groups of donors based on the Bcl6 prevalence of their Reactive Follicles (RFs): RF-Bcl6no/low, RF-Bcl6int, and RF-Bcl6high. A distinct B/TFH immune landscape, associated with increased prevalence of proliferating B-cell and TFH-cell subsets, was found in RF-Bcl6high LD-LNs.

The β-adrenergic receptor (βAR), a prototype G protein-coupled receptor, controls cardiopulmonary function underpinning O delivery. Abundance of the βAR is canonically regulated by G protein-coupled receptor kinases and β-arrestins, but neither controls constitutive receptor levels, which are dependent on ambient O. Basal βAR expression is instead regulated by the prolyl hydroxylase/pVHL-E3 ubiquitin ligase system, explaining O responsivity.

Allergic asthma is an inflammatory airway disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors and orchestrated by imbalance between T helper 1 cell (Th1) and two immune responses. Inflammation contributes to pathological changes and remodeling in tissues such as the vascular, lung, heart, and beds. The purpose for this study was to evaluate the effects of allergic asthma on heart pathology and remodeling.

Background And Aims: Hypothyroid patients often complain of shortness of breath, fatigue, and exercise intolerance. Both inspiratory and expiratory muscles' weakness is present, and the impairment of pulmonary function may be initiated at the subclinical stage of hypothyroidism. Hence, this study aimed to assess the pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in hypothyroid patients.
