Clinical profile of lung cancer in North India: A 10-year analysis of 1862 patients from a tertiary care center
Conclusion: Among this large cohort, our center seems to follow the global trend with increasing incidence of ADC. EGFR mutation positivity was similar to existing reports, while higher ALK positivity was detected. A characteristic phenotype of never-smokers with lung cancer was elucidated which demonstrated better survival. (Source: Lung India)

Unilateral pulmonary venous atresia: A rare cause of recurrent hemoptysis
We report a 3-year-old boy with recurrent hemoptysis for 2 years. The child had tachycardia, tachypnea, tender hepatomegaly, and left-sided decreased air entry with crepitations. Coagulation and Koch's workup was negative. X-ray of the chest showed a small left hemithorax. Computed tomography with angiography showed left unilateral PVA with pulmonary artery hypoplasia and dysplastic left lung. The child has been posted for left pneumonectomy. Although uncommon, PVA should be diagnosed early to prevent life-threatening complications such as hemoptysis and pulmonary hypertension. The patient can be managed conserv...
