Background: Neurogenic cough is a chronic condition characterized by persistent coughing that is unresponsive to conventional treatments. It is thought to result from sensory neuropathy of the laryngeal nerves, leading to heightened cough reflex sensitivity. Current management strategies include neuromodulating medications and speech therapy, but these are often ineffective or associated with significant side effects.

Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is an extremely rare tumor, especially in pediatric populations (0-18 years), which often carries a poor prognosis due to vague symptoms and its aggressive nature. We present a rare case involving a 17-year-old female, illustrating the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties posed by this condition in an atypical age group. A 17-year-old female presented with a one-month history of dry cough, exacerbated when lying down, and orthopnea requiring two pillows for sleep.

Antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS) is a rare autoimmune entity defined by the presence of anti-aminoacyl-t ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthetase autoantibodies and classically associated with a triad of interstitial lung disease (ILD), inflammatory myopathy, and arthritis. Additional clinical features may include Raynaud's phenomenon and "mechanic's hands". Among antisynthetase antibodies, anti-PL-12 is notably associated with predominant or isolated ILD and may occur in the absence of clinically evident myositis, thereby complicating timely diagnosis.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by dysfunctional motile cilia, with or without detectable ultrastructural abnormalities. This study focuses on a homozygous mutation in the rare radial spoke head component 4A () gene in a Chinese adolescent girl with PCD. The patient, an 11-year and 3-month-old girl, developed neonatal pneumonia after birth and gradually presented with persistent perennial rhinitis and recurrent productive cough.

Respiratory diseases, including pneumonia, asthma, bronchiolitis, and croup, remain the leading causes of pediatric morbidity and mortality worldwide. Diagnostic challenges persist, especially in low-resource settings lacking specialized tools. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based analysis of cough sounds has emerged as a promising, noninvasive diagnostic alternative.
