Article Abstract
Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is currently the first-line treatment for massive hemoptysis. Previous studies have proven its safety and efficacy, with mild, transient, and reversible complications. This case described a patient with congenital multiple bronchopulmonary fistulas who underwent BAE due to massive hemoptysis. However, due to an overlooked and misdiagnosed atypical fistula, the patient experienced an ectopic pulmonary embolism and subsequently secondary pulmonary infarction. He eventually exhibited a full postoperative recovery following percutaneous catheter-directed embolectomy. This case revealed a type of occult fistula masked by multiple bronchial artery branches, which may be a potential risk factor for an ectopic pulmonary embolism during BAE. We propose that it is crucial to identify abnormal anastomosis, especially atypical fistula, and select appropriate embolization materials during BAE.

Introduction: species, particularly , are rare opportunistic pathogens that typically affect immunocompromised individuals. These infections usually present with respiratory or systemic symptoms and are often linked to environmental exposure. Asymptomatic infections are exceedingly rare and pose unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Introduction: Fluoroless mapping and ablation using a Pentaspline pulsed field ablation catheter has many advantages. This can be achieved using a "tripolar configuration," which enables high-quality electroanatomical maps, improves the ability to localize electrograms (EGMs), and minimizes the use of additional mapping catheters compared to the standard bipolar configuration. We aimed to evaluate the benefits of using a tripolar configuration in fluoroless atrial fibrillation ablation compared to the standard bipolar configuration.

Introduction: Fascioliasis, a significant global zoonotic disease caused by trematode parasites of the genus , affects various livestock species.
Aim: This study aimed to identify demographic, epidemiological, clinical manifestations, pathological, and genetic characteristics in New Valley, Egypt's human, and cattle populations.
Methods: This study is made of two parts, the first part is a cohort study of 1000 cattle slaughtered at three abattoirs in El Kharja, El Dakhilah, and El Farafra from February 2023 to January 2024.

Liver fibrosis represents an important pathological stage during chronic hepatopathy development, posing a significant threat to human health. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), an essential hepatic non-parenchymal cells, have a key effect on fibrogenesis, with their activation being a hallmark of liver fibrosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), the small non-coding RNAs, become the critical biomarkers and regulatory molecules in fibrotic processes.
