Abstract:
A 74-year-old man with prior stage IE gastric MALT lymphoma presented with blood-stained sputum. Autofluorescence imaging (AFI) bronchoscopy revealed bilateral endobronchial lesions; with biopsies confirmed MALT lymphoma. Positron emission tomography computed tomography showed right upper lobe lesion without nodal disease. He received rituximab, with complete metabolic response. AFI facilitated early airway-focused diagnosis.

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.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II
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...

Overview of Pulmonary Circulation
The process begins with the right ventricle of the heart pumping deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary trunk. This large vessel extends about 5 centimeters before splitting into the left and right pulmonary arteries. These arteries...
