Unveiling the complexity of right middle lobe syndrome: a case series highlighting the association with asthma
CONCLUSION: These cases exhibited obstructive MLS with and without asthma. Accurate diagnosis is challenging, requiring imaging techniques. MLS has clinical implications, particularly in asthma patients. Future studies should focus on understanding the aetiology of non-obstructive MLS.PMID:38576953 | PMC:PMC10990357 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001848 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Recent trends in the epidemiology and clinical outcomes of inflammatory bowel disease in South Korea, 2010-2018
CONCLUSION: The CD incidence has been stable since 2014, but that of UC has increased with a shift to a younger age at peak incidence between 2010 and 2018. IBD clinical outcomes improved over time, with increased use of immunomodulators and biologics.PMID:38577186 | PMC:PMC10989502 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1154 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)
