A 76-year-old woman with pulmonary asbestosis was admitted with fever and polymyalgia. She subsequently developed a visual disorder, hemoptysis, and hemoperitoneum. A biopsy of the temporal artery revealed the presence of giant-cell arteritis. CT and angiography showed hemorrhaging from the
Immunoblastic lymphadenopathy was diagnosed in a 71-year-old white man who had weakness, with weight loss, fever, cough, and generalized lymphadenopathy. The patient had a long occupational history of shipyard work. Diagnosis of asbestosis was made clinically by chest x-ray, and ferruginous bodies
We experienced three cases of lower respiratory tract infections worsened after Rhinovirus infection. Case 1: A 42-year-old male with diffuse panbronchiolitis was admitted to our hospital with the complaint of dyspnea on November 21, 1988. Rhinovirus was isolated from nasal washing and P. aeruginosa
The function of inflammasome in the cell is to sense intracellular danger signals and--perhaps as the last cry of distress of a cell invaded by a microorganism--at an emergency situation to release interleukins (IL) outside of the cell, causing an inflammatory reaction and fever and also leads to an
A 69-year-old man with right upper quadrant abdominal pain and fever was referred to our hospital. He had a history of asbestosis exposure. Computed tomography(CT)revealed a mass at the right subhepatic space, and an antibiotic was administered after a diagnosis of an abdominal abscess. However, the

A 75-year-old man presented with fever, dyspnoea, chest pain and findings suggestive of severe pneumonia including hypoxia and bilateral chest infiltrates. He was given antibiotics without significant effect. He took long-term amiodarone therapy for persistent atrial arrhythmias and also had a

Endometriosis remains a challenging condition for clinicians to treat. To improve our results, we have to develop new treatment strategies based on pathophysiological mechanisms targeting the etiologic and pathogenic processes involved.
OBJECTIVE
Revise new inflammatory pathogenic
The role of the fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) technique positron emission tomography (PET) is well established in the management of patients with lung cancer. Increasingly, it is becoming evident that FDG-PET can be effectively employed to diagnose a variety of benign pulmonary disorders. Knowledge of
