Here we present a case of a 64-year-old Caucasian male who presented with a 3-week history of postprandial vomiting, weight-loss and epigastric discomfort.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report a case of Morgagni hernia presenting with subacute bowel obstruction in a bilateral lung transplant recipient. This diaphragmatic deficiency was not evident during bilateral lung transplantation surgery via clamshell incision.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report a case of a 16- year-old male who presented with a 1-month history of fever, cough, left-side chest pain and shortness of breath. Chest X -ray showed loss of lung volume on the left side with cystic spaces and air fluid levels.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Morgagni hernias are uncommon congenital diaphragmatic deficiencies that may remain asymptomatic till adulthood. We report a case of Morgagni hernia presenting with subacute bowel obstruction in a bilateral lung transplant recipient.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment of obstruction of the upper respiratory tract includes such methods as alveolar massage, oxygen therapy, therapeutic gymnastics, surgical intervention, medical treatment.[ulaizer.com.ua]
BACKGROUND: Compared to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown a significant efficacy in the treatment of lung cancer.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Appropriate management of metastatic GOO involves accurate diagnosis and treatment with either enteral stenting or laparoscopic gastric bypass.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Most of the patients have limited prognosis because of advanced stage disease or had been refractory to a conventional therapy.[academic.oup.com]
However, the ultimate prognosis is of course associated with the underlying condition.[patient.info]
Prognosis The prognosis of SVC syndrome is variable and depends significantly on the underlying cause. Thanks for your feedback![verywell.com]

Epidemiological investigations suggested that workers exposed to flavorings at these popcorn factories were at risk for developing fixed obstructive lung disease.[thoracic.org]
In children, the most common causes are T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma). [ 5 ] Epidemiology Gender predilection reflects aetiology, with more males than females due to the prevalence of lung[patient.info]

According to previous cases, a bronchial balloon of double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLT) could prevent a dislodged tumor from traveling to the contralateral lung.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
So we have to focus on interventions to prevent or reverse COPD or improve FEV1, and to test whether such interventions reduce the risk of heart failure.[escardio.org]
Prevention Unlike some diseases, COPD has a clear cause and a clear path of prevention. The majority of cases are directly related to cigarette smoking, and the best way to prevent COPD is to never smoke — or to stop smoking now.[mayoclinic.org]
Preventing COPD COPD is largely a preventable condition. You can significantly reduce your chances of developing it if you avoid smoking.[nhs.uk]
Corticosteroid drugs have strong anti-inflammatory effects and so have been used either to prevent or treat chronic lung disease, particularly in babies who cannot be weaned from assisted ventilation.[healthdirect.gov.au]
