    Abstract Vaping involves the use of a device to deliver aerosolized nicotine and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) oils to the lungs. Vaping continues to increase in popularity; however, because it is a novel drug delivery system there is little evidence regarding its safety and long-term consequences. Here, we present a 22-year-old Caucasian male who was admitted with acute hypoxic respiratory failure and massive hemoptysis. Contrasted computed tomography of the chest demonstrated ground glass opacities throughout all lung fields and bilateral pulmonary emboli. Bronchoalveolar lavage revealed increased red blood cell counts in serial aliquots, consistent with the diagnosis of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). An extensive workup did not reveal an etiology for the DAH. However, further history was obtained, and the patient divulged daily vaping of THC. E-cigarette, or vaping, product use associated lung injury (EVALI) consists of a myriad of different lung injury patterns. Our case illustrates an uncommon presentation of EVALI with DAH and multiple pulmonary emboli.

    Abstract Aim: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other forms of dementia create a noncurable disease population in world's societies. To develop a blood-based biomarker is important so that the remedial or disease-altering therapeutic intervention for AD patients would be available at the early stage.
    Materials & methods: TDP-43 levels were analyzed in postmortem brain tissue and platelets of AD and control subjects.
    Results: We observed an increased TDP-43 (<60%) in postmortem AD brain regions and similar trends were also observed in patient's platelets.
    Conclusion: Platelet TDP-43 could be used as a surrogate biomarker that is measurable, reproducible and sensitive for screening the patients with some early clinical signs of AD and can be used to monitor disease prognosis.
