1/Hello all,Good morning! Happy independence week🇮🇳🎉🎊
Got a beautiful chest teaching case 👇🏻Xray ▶️CT ▶️HPE
🛑27 year old female came with h/o chest discomfort, breathing difficulty, cough x 1 week
Lets breakdown it✍️📝 🔥

2/ Frontal CXR shows homogenous opacity in R.mid & lower zone in paravertebral region
❇️It has well defined superior,inferior&lateral borders, medial border is merged with mediastinum(incomplete border sign)
♉️Opacity has Broad base contact with mediastinum s/o mediastinal origin

❇️Lung lesion will be covered by lung margins all side(not always) & form an acute angle with meds
♉️Normal silhouette of right heart border is seen (neg silhouette sign) s/o lesion not in ant med
🉑Hilar vessels are seen coursing through the opacity (Hilum overlay sign +ve)

Listen to this and let’s reflect as a respiratory community how we can emulate #cardiology and transform outcomes in #asthma, #COPD, #bronchiectasis, #ILD +other chronic #respiratory diseases over the NEXT 50 years. This accompanies a great @nejm Perspective by @EricTopol. Think:
Cross-disciplinary interchange of ideas...integration of basic science and translational research...technological innovation...EBM...large cohorts...policy change...huge collaborative trials...adequate research funding...genetic insights...drug development... life-course...
...precision medicine...multi-omics...social determinants of health...biomarkers...AI...
Respiratory #pulmonology - we need to be more bold.

1 approach to understanding #covid19 infection is to examine co-morbidities & ask what's common?
Most prevalent Cov19 co-morbs:
1)↗️age
2)Hypertension
3)Diabetes
4)Cardiovascular disease
5)Kidney disease
6)Chronic respiratory disease (esp COPD)
8)Cancers
9)BMI>40
10)♂️>♀️

These are diverse diseases & increasing age technically not a disease at all. However, there is at least 1 factor in common among all of the co-morbidities identified thus far:
INFLAMMATION

A survey of the co-morbidities revealed another commonality; a close association w/ dysregulation of the pro-inflammatory, neutrophil-recruiting cytokine, IL-17A.
IL-17A is made by multiple immune cell types, including lung-resident innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s).

2/ Let’s begin with a question: how does prone positioning improve oxygenation in patients with severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)?
3/ First, some history. Prone positioning was first proposed in the 1970’s as a method to improve gas exchange in resp. failure and has long been shown to improve Pa/FiO2 in mechanically ventilated patients with severe ARDS.

Why does Lady Windermere Syndrome tend to affect the right middle lobe and lingula in older women without preexisting lung disease?

Let’s start with a little history. Non-tuberculosis mycobacterial (NTM) lung infections have been reported as early as the 1950’s, traditionally in the immunocompromised or those with structural lung disease.

Ever wonder why patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) tend to have more severe disease in the upper lung fields, especially on the right?
I have!
And the answer was not what I was expecting…

First, it is important to remember that CF is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which ultimately leads to thick, viscous secretions due to the inability to secrete chloride.
