Abstract:
Pulmonary embolism is a heterogeneous disease process associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Clinical risk models aid clinicians in rapid evaluation and risk stratification to ensure timely and appropriate therapy. While systemic anticoagulation remains the cornerstone of treatment, catheter-based interventional therapies are rapidly evolving. Further safety and efficacy data are needed to determine when escalation of therapy is indicated, and which catheter-directed device offers the best patient outcomes.

Pneumonia IV: Management
Bacterial Pneumonia Treatment
For bacterial pneumonia, antibiotics serve as the cornerstone of therapy. Initial treatment often begins with empirical antibiotics, tailored to the anticipated causative organism and adjusted based on culture results. Key antibiotic choices include:
Pneumothorax-II
Clinical Manifestations:
Pneumonia III: Complications and Assessment
Pleural Effusion II: Symptoms and Management
A pleural effusion is the abnormal collection of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura layers of tissue that form the lining of the lungs and chest cavity. It can occur independently or due to surrounding parenchymal diseases, such as infection, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions.
Clinical Manifestations:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-V: Management
Smoking Cessation
Pulmonary Tuberculosis V
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...
