摘要:

A 49-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital for hypercapnia. Pulmonary function testing showed small lung volumes without parenchymal lung disease. Muscle enzyme levels were normal and the EMG was nonspecific. Finally, muscle biopsy revealed abundant nemaline bodies characteristic of nemaline myopathy. Nasal intermittent pressure ventilation was started with a preset pressure ventilator during sleeping hours with a good response.

摘要:

A patient with Marfan’s syndrome and obstructive sleep hypopnea syndrome is reported. She had complained about insomnia, tiredness and hypersomnolence lasting 2 years. A complete nightly polysomnography revealed 94 obstructive hypopneas (the hypopnea index was 12.85) and no obstructive apneas. Presumably an increased laxity of the pharyngeal wall was responsible for the phenomenon. A therapy with CPAP was started, but was not tolerated by the patient. Oxygen therapy on the other hand turned out to be effective and well tolerate

摘要:

Lung lymphomas frequently present a diagnostic challenge. The diagnosis of malignant lymphoma is possible when lymphocyte subpopulations show aneuploidy or a definable monoclonal surface marker or both. We present a case of lymphoma of the lung in which DNA analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was the first successful method in the time course of diagnosis.
