Abstract:
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) consists of abnormal communications between the pulmonary arteries and veins. Because PAVM may cause neurological defects (such as stroke and brain abscess) or hemoptysis and hemothorax, embolization therapy or surgery is required. Resection using video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has recently been performed for small peripheral PAVMs. For large or hilar PAVM, surgical resection with thoracotomy is required. We report herein a case of PAVM (4.0 x 3.5cm) located in the left S6 segment near the lung hilum that was resected successfully using simultaneously stapled S6 segmentectomy (simultaneous stapling of anomalous vessels of the PAVM and hillar structures of S6) with VATS.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the...

Alveolar Surface Tension
The alveolar fluid lines the luminal surface of the alveoli and exerts a force called surface tension. This force is caused by the polar water molecules in the liquid being more strongly attracted to each...
