This study investigated the utility of the alveolar-arterial (AaDO2) gradient in predicting the short-term prognosis of submassive pulmonary embolism (PE). ⋯ The AaDO2 measurement is a highly useful and simple measurement for predicting short-term prognosis in patients with submassive PE. It may be used in risk stratification of patients with submassive PE. Aggressive thrombolytic treatment strategies may be considered for patients who have AaO2 < 42.38.

The association of nephrotic syndrome (NS) and Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), although rare, is well recognised. In the majority of cases of HL, minimal change NS is detected. ⋯ Prolonged proteinuria may be a paraneoplastic syndrome and HL should be considered in the diagnosis as it is crucial for the management of both entities.
