Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced respiratory failure is being increasingly recognized as a cause of respiratory failure in the intensive care unit. The frequency of chemotherapy-induced respiratory failure is low, however with increasing number of patients receiving new chemotherapeutic agents more cases can be expected to be seen. Chemotherapy-induced respiratory failure can be due to bronchospasm and hypersensitivity reactions, pulmonary hemorrhage, interstitial pneumonitis, eosinophilic pneumonia, and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Pulmonary and critical care physicians should be aware of the clinical presentation of chemotherapy-induced respiratory failure.

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
