of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), red cell distribution width (RDW), albumin level, and demographic and clinical characteristics to predict the risk of developing postoperative pneumonia in patients operated for non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS This study included 363 patients who underwent elective surgery for non-small cell lung cancer between January 2014 and December 2018. Patient data were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of postoperative pneumonia. RESULTS The mean age was higher (p=0.003) and the rate of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was statistically significantly higher in the postoperative pneumonia group (p=0.031). Preoperative RDW, NLR, and neutrophil values were statistically significantly higher in the postoperative pneumonia group than in the non-postoperative pneumonia group (p<0.05). Preoperative lymphocyte values were statistically significantly lower in the postoperative pneumonia group (p<0.05). Preoperative albumin level were statistically significantly higher in the non-postoperative pneumonia group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that these predictors are independent risk factors for postoperative pneumonia following lung cancer surgery. However, there is a need for large-scale studies to confirm our results and evaluate whether they can be used to identify high-risk patients for postoperative pneumonia prior to surgery.

smoking in boys and girls was 25.7%, and 60.6% of boys and 53.1% of girls had experienced hookah smoking during their lifetime 11 . The study results showed that hookah smokers smoke hookah as an enjoyable entertainment among their friends regardless of the health consequences 12 . The results show that hookah smoking is addictive. In fact, there is a significant amount of addictive nicotine in tobacco. It has been proven that nicotine levels in the blood plasma ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION The prevalence of hookah smoking in Iran, especially among adolescents, is increasing. Accordingly, the present study was conducted to determine the effect of interventions to prevent and reduce hookah smoking using a systematic review. METHODS In this study, all articles published up to April 2021 in both Persian and English in the field of interventions to prevent and reduce hookah smoking were reviewed. These studies were conducted based on the databases of the country’s publications (Magiran). According to the Cochrane search strategy, Iranian Medical Articles Database (Iran Medex) and Scientific Database (SID), Database in Scopus, PubMed, ISI Embase, and Science Direct databases, were searched. Two researchers independently selected studies based on inclusion criteria. The quality of the studies was assessed using EPHPP. RESULTS Out of 4170 studies, 21 of those consistent with the research criteria were selected and carefully examined in the present study. The results showed that out of 20 studies that were reviewed, 19 studies showed that after completing the educational interventions, the prevalence of hookah smoking in the intervention group decreased compared to the control group. Also, the present study's findings showed that educational interventions with content about the side effects of hookah smoking comparing the pathogenicity of hookah and smoking and showing its addictive intensity could improve structures such as a positive attitude to hookah smoking. CONCLUSIONS Considering the effect of various interventions and the use of patterns and theories of health education can be very helpful in changing and modifying some factors affecting the tendency to hookah smoking.

1 The differential diagnosis for diffuse bilateral pulmonary nodules is extensive and includes infections, inflammatory disorders and metastatic malignancy (Table 1)1. Minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules (MPMN) result from epithelioid cell proliferation within the interstitium, and can present as a solitary pulmonary nodule or, less frequently, as diffuse nodules, termed diffuse pulmonary meningotheliomatosis (DPM)2. In DPM these cells form small nodules of ground-glass appearance on chest CT scan, with/without central lucency (‘cheerio sign’) throughout the lung tissue and typically present as diffuse and bilateral randomly distributed nodules3. Most are too small to be detected by CT, but the autopsy incidence has been reported as 7.2%4. DPM/MPMNs are benign and are more common in females with age in the sixth to seventh decade. Patients are often asymptomatic or they may present with non-specific cardiorespiratory symptoms5. The exact etiology remains unclear, however, these nodules are more commonly associated with pulmonary thromboembolic disease or smoking-related interstitial lung disease6. A higher incidence of these nodules has been reported in patients with primary malignant pulmonary tumors, specifically with lung adenocarcinoma4. Definitive diagnosis requires lung biopsy, typically surgical3. We report a case of diffuse pulmonary meningotheliomatosis in a patient with a past medical history of lung adenocarcinoma. An 81-year-old woman, non-smoker, with a past medical history of stage IA lung adenocarcinoma submitted 3 years before to superior right lobectomy, presented to pulmonary clinic for follow-up and did routine chest CT which showed multiple bilateral micronodules of ground glass appearance, with 2–5 mm, with basal predominance (Figures 1 A, B and C), raising the possibility of metastatic lesions. She denied any symptomatology associated, namely chest pain, dyspnea or systemic symptoms. To study these lesions and evaluate the possibility of a relapse of the malignant disease, she did an 18-FDG PET scan that showed a micronodular pattern in both lungs, functionally uncharacterizable due to the reduced dimensions of the nodules, without any other lesions. Due to dimensions of the lesions and the difficult approach through CTguided transthoracic biopsy, a video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) biopsy was performed. The histopathological examination revealed that these nodules consisted of pulmonary meningotheliomatosis, excluding metastatic lung lesions (Figures 1 D, E and F). The patient is currently asymptomatic and maintains in follow-up, without signs of malignancy in the 2 years period since the detection of the nodules. DMP is a relatively rare condition, apparently clinically innocuous and with conservative management3. Despite this, we consider that awareness of this entity is important as it can be confused with other diseases, namely metastatic disease as in the case abovementioned.

Pulmonary and mediastinal involvement in sarcoidosis is common with variable radiographic features depending on the stage of the disease. It is randomly detected on chest radiography of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic patients, revealing bilateral hilar lymph node enlargement. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest is most sensitive and has typical findings like micronodules with a perilymphatic distribution, fibrotic changes, and bilateral perihilar opacities. Miliary pattern is a rare, non-typical thoracic manifestation of pulmonary sarcoidosis. We describe two cases of female patients with miliary sarcoidosis who were referred to our department and treated successfully in the previous year.
