I don’t know about you, but life can turn into hell in a handbasket when my lead technologist is absent. Noticeably, details are left undone.

Rasmussen aneurysm is a well-known cause of hemoptysis during tuberculosis infection, caused by injury to a pulmonary artery, leading to pseudoaneurysm formation. Its vascularization by a systemic–pulmonary artery shunt is less common and not well known. In this case, a Rasmussen aneurysm involving a distal pulmonary artery branch was perfused by an intercostal artery rather than a proximal pulmonary artery.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death and the second most common type of cancer in the U.S. [1] One of the reasons lung cancer is so deadly is that symptoms often don’t appear until the disease has reached an advanced stage. Fortunately, low-dose CT lung screening (LDCTLS) has emerged as an effective screening tool to detect early-stage lung cancers, increasing many patients’ chances of survival.

Background: Diphenhydramine, a first-generation antihistamine, is the most common pharmacologic agent used to treat acute allergic reactions. Despite being highly effective in treating acute allergic reactions, first-generation H1 antihistamines cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to H1 receptors, which can lead to undesirable side effects, including drowsiness, sedation, fatigue, and decreased cognition (Church MK 2010).
