Bilateral upper lobe Pneumocystis pneumonia during aerosolized pentamidine prophylaxis
A 37-year-old man with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection presented to our hospital due to a 9-day history of fever, cough and dyspnea on exertion. He was diagnosed with HIV infection 6 years before the admission. However, combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) was only administered 9 days before admission because a previous physician could not obtain the patient’s consent. He was receiving aerosolized pentamidine, rather than trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, for 3 months as aPneumocystis prophylaxis because of his prior sulfa allergy. Clinical examinations revealed high-grade fever, tachycardia and res...

Stevens Johnson Syndrome versus Jarisch Herxheimer Reaction in an HIV positive patient with secondary syphilis.
CONCLUSIONS: although the diagnosis of SJS has established criteria, the possibility of overlap with infectious illness and/or with its treatment, may complicate the diagnosis.

Traffic-Related Air Pollution and All-Cause Mortality during Tuberculosis Treatment in California
Conclusions:
Residential proximity to road traffic volumes and traffic density were associated with increased all-cause mortality in patients undergoing treatment for active tuberculosis even after adjusting for multiple demographic, socioeconomic, and clinical factors, suggesting that TB patients are susceptible to the adverse health effects of traffic-related air pollution. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1699

Use of carbon dioxide as an intravascular contrast agent: A review of current literature.
Abstract
Use of X-ray contrast allows us to differentiate between two or more adjacent structures on radiographic studies. The X-ray contrast agent can be the one with increase X-ray absorption, like iodine and a barium X-ray contrast agent or the one with decrease X-ray absorption like air and carbon dioxide contrast agent. Each contrast agent possesses different risks and benefits in various ways. Carbon dioxide as an intravascular contrast agent can be used as an alternative intravascular contrast agent and has superior results in some cases. In patients with renal dysfunction or iodinated contrast allergy, the...

Diffuse Esophageal Spasm: Corkscrew Esophagus
An 84-year-old man with a 1-year history of progressive dysphagia, regurgitation of food, chest pain, and weight loss presented to our outpatient department. He had no previous cardiovascular or gastrointestinal problems, or history of an allergy. He did not experience ataxia, loss of consciousness, disorientation, or difficulty swallowing. His vital signs were normal. A plain radiograph showed no abnormality. Complete blood examination, including blood chemistry analysis, was unremarkable. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed circular folds in the distal esophagus (i.e., corkscrew esophagus, Figure 1A).

CD4 T cell –restricted IL-2 signaling defect in a patient with a novel IFNGR1 deficiency
A female child was referred to our institution at age 20 months after a protracted course of a febrile illness and cough associated with radiographic findings, demonstrating a large necrotic suprahilar lymph node impinging on the right main stem bronchus. Culture of the lymph node biopsy specimen, blood, and sputum identified Mycobacterium fortuitum an d Mycobacterium avium complex, whereas bronchoalveolar lavage specimen culture revealed the presence of Moraxella species. Other clinical findings included severe eczema for the first 6 months of life that was controlled by emollient use, development of chicken pox after...

Immunoglobulin G4 sinusitis in association with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease.
CONCLUSION: Shared type II inflammation may be responsible for the coexistence of IgG4-RD and AERD as observed in our patient. Health care workers must be cognizant of the simultaneous presentation of both IgG4-RD and AERD.

Unmet Needs in Axial Spondyloarthritis
AbstractDuring the past decade, the well-known disease called ankylosing spondylitis has come to be considered as a subset of the broader entity referred as axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), which also includes non-radiographic axSpA. The need of this new classification was aimed to improve the sensitivity for an early diagnosis, to reduce diagnostic delay, and to allow an early treatment. Although there is improvement in the recognition, the management of patients, and the treatment strategies of axSpA, unmet needs persist. There is still a substantial gap of 5 –8 years between the onset of symptoms and the diagnosis of...

MR Imaging of Mediastinal Masses
Abstract: The mediastinum contains vital vascular and nonvascular structures and organs, and a wide variety of abnormalities may arise from this region of the thorax. Although mediastinal masses may be initially detected on chest radiography, cross-sectional imaging plays an important role in the identification and evaluation of mediastinal lesions, enabling the formulation of focused differential diagnoses and ultimately guiding management. Computed tomography (CT) is considered the imaging modality of choice for evaluating most mediastinal masses; however, the role of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging continues to expand, ...

A prospective analysis evaluating tissue biopsy location and its clinical relevance in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
ConclusionAlthough ECP in NP was higher than in UT tissue, eosinophilia in UT tissue was a more clinically coherent biomarker of baseline radiographic severity, comorbid asthma and AERD, and prospective polyp recurrence risk than NP eosinophilia.

Clinical Features of Psoriatic Arthritis: a Comprehensive Review of Unmet Clinical Needs
AbstractPsoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a form of inflammatory arthritis (IA) affecting approximately 0.25% of the population. It is a heterogeneous disorder associated with joint damage, disability, disfiguring skin disease and in severe cases, premature mortality. Inherently irreversible and frequently progressive, the process of joint damage begins at, or before, the clinical onset of disease. Early recognition and intervention is thus crucial to patient outcome. At disease onset, however, PsA often resembles other forms of arthritis —especially rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite the similarities between PsA and RA, thei...
