Abstract
Alveolar capillary dysplasia (ACD) is a recently recognized lethal lung malformation. ACD is a rare congenital disorder of pulmonary vascular development associated with unremitting hypoxemia and respiratory failure. This paper reviews the incidence, pathophysiology and histopathology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of affected newborns and proposes an algorithmic approach to management of infants who present with unremitting persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
