Effect of Sequential Intravenous Pulse Cyclophosphamide-Azathioprine in Systemic Sclerosis-Interstitial Lung Disease: An Open-Label Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous, pulse CYC followed by azathioprine along with low-dose corticosteroids produces significant improvement in FVC and 6WMD at 12-month follow-up without significant change in radiological manifestations and health status.

Convex-probe Endobronchial Ultrasound: A Decade of Progress.
Authors: Dhooria S, Sehgal IS, Aggarwal AN, Agarwal R Abstract Ever since the invention of the flexible bronchoscope, perhaps no other innovation in the field of interventional pulmonology has caused so much excitement the world over, as the convex probe endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA). While it took over a decade from 1992 to 2004 for the radial EBUS to evolve into the commercial convex probe EBUS scope, another exciting decade has gone by with the technology being thoroughly researched and appraised. The current evidence suggests that EBUS-TBNA can replace m...

Clinical Profile of Spontaneous Pneumothorax in Adults: A Retrospective Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Our observations suggest that pneumothorax is more common among men. Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax is more common than PSP and the most common cause of SSP was pulmonary TB followed by COPD.

Pollutant Levels at Cooking Place and Their Association with Respiratory Symptoms in Women in a Rural Area of Delhi-NCR.
CONCLUSIONS: This study contributes to the growing evidence of adverse impact of indoor air pollution from biomass combustion on health of females. Results of the study demonstrated significantly high particulate matter (PM2.5), in households not using a separate room for cooking with biomass fuel.

Pulmonary Tumourlets: Case Report and Review of Literature.
We report a case of tumourlets of the lung associated with carcinoid and neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia, found incidentally in a 30-year-old woman, who underwent bullectomy for pneumothorax. These lesions are histologically similar to carcinoid, but differ in molecular pathogenesis about which little is known. Their nature and significance is debated. Here, we point out the importance of histological, clinical, and diagnostic aspects and follow-up to have evidence of eventual malignant evolution.

Adenocarcinoma of Lung Presenting as Interstitial Lung Disease.
Authors: Mohapatra PR, Aggarwal D, Punia RS, Janmeja AK Abstract Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) presenting as lung cancer have been reported rarely from India. The present case describes a possibly primary lung cancer in a non-smoker who presented radiologically as a case of ILD. The possible mechanisms available in the literature are discussed.

Bilateral Pleural Effusion: A Rare Case Report.
Authors: Chawla RK, Madan A, Chawla A, Arora HN, Chawla K Abstract A 24-year-old female presented with complaints of distension of abdomen, lower limb swelling and shortness of breath. On examination, she had bilateral pedal oedema, tender mild hepatomegaly, bilateral pleural effusion and ascites. She had received treatment on lines of chronic liver disease, congestive heart failure but did not manifest any improvement. Laboratory investigations including haemogram, echocardiography and liver function testing were inconclusive. Ultrasonography and computed tomography of abdomen revealed obstruction at the ...

A Case of Good's Syndrome Presenting with Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
We present an unusual case of Good's syndrome with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). A 40-year-old man presented with sputum-positive PTB and was started on anti-tuberculosis treatment. Subsequently, he developed symptoms and findings consistent with thymoma and other components of Good's syndrome. Although patients of Good's syndrome are susceptible to various opportunistic infections, infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis is uncommon. Evidence of recurrent infections or some opportunistic infection in a thymoma patient should trigger a suspicion of Good's syndrome. PMID: 27164735 [PubMed - in process] (Source: In...
