    Abstract Euthanasia and assisted suicide, involving the intentional termination of a patient's life, are subjects of global debate influenced by cultural, ethical, and religious beliefs. This study explored the attitudes of the general public toward euthanasia, finding varying levels of support. A cross-sectional study was conducted. This research specifically evaluated the perspectives of 5804 Lithuanian residents using a survey distributed through social media, which presented medical scenarios on life-preserving interventions. Analysis indicated that gender, religion, experience in caring for patients in a terminal condition, education, and age significantly influenced the attitudes of the respondents toward end-of-life decisions. Specifically, factors like being non-religious or having less experience in caring for the terminally ill correlated with a more positive opinion regarding euthanasia and other forms of medical assistance in dying.

    Abstract Background/aim: The objectives of this study were to evaluate systemic inflammation using different sclerosing agents and to estimate the prediction of systemic inflammation for the efficacy of pleurodesis.
    Patients and methods: Ninety-six patients with recurrent and symptomatic malignant pleural effusion were enrolled in this retrospective study. We used serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, serum leukocyte counts and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios (NLRs) as parameters of systemic inflammatory reactions. Evaluations of these parameters were performed before and 24 h after pleurodesis.
    Results: Pleurodesis was successful in 81 (84.4%) patients. The non-graded talc induced the highest changes in serum CRP levels, total white blood cell and neutrophil counts compared to other agents, while mitoxantrone induced the lowest. Graded talc and bleomycin induced the same levels of changes in serum CRP levels and serum leukocyte counts. The change in serum NLR was the same for all agent groups. Logistic regression confirmed that a change in serum CRP levels [odds ratio (OR)=0.92, p=0.002] and previous chemotherapy (OR=3.31, p=0.012) were independent predictors of pleurodesis efficacy.
    Conclusion: Pleurodesis agents induced a systemic inflammatory response at different levels. The change in serum CRP levels could be useful for predicting the success of pleurodesis.

    Abstract Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is a rare interstitial lung disease with different onset of symptoms, which responds rapidly to glucocorticoid treatment. We present a case of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia which manifested as a progressive 3-year dyspnea that ultimately has led to acute respiratory failure. Moreover, treatment with prednisone for this patient exhibited slow onset of the effect.

    Abstract Introduction: We aimed to investigate community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) requiring hospitalisation, empirically treated with b-lactam monotherapy, with 30-day mortality and risk factors predicting its complicated course.
    Material and methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at the Pulmonology and Allergology Department in a tertiary care university hospital. 253 consecutive patients diagnosed with CAP requiring hospitalisation were enrolled. Hospital admission was based on PSI or CRB-65 scores, severe comorbidities, signs of intoxication, aspiration risk, social risk consider-ations, ineffective prior antibiotic treatment.
    Results: Fourty seven percent of the subjects had complications on admission, 13% developed new CAP complications during inpatient treatment. Overall, 53% of individuals had a complicated CAP course. 30-day mortality rate was 5.9%. The factors predicting a complicated CAP course were as follows: neuromuscular disease, multilobar opacities on chest X-ray (or computed tomography), and clinically unstable condition as evaluated using Halm's criteria.
    Conclusions: The mortality rate in CAP patients treated with b-lactam monotherapy is low. Neuromuscular disease, multilobar opacities, and clinically unstable condition as evaluated using Halm's criteria predict a complicated CAP course.
