Ganoderma lucidum, a medicinal mushroom renowned for its production of a diverse array of compounds, accounts for the pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and anticancer characteristics. Thus, it is recognized as a valuable species of interest in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries due to its important medicinal properties. Recent advances in omics technologies such as genomes, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics have considerably increased our understanding of the bioactives in G. lucidum. This review explores the application of molecular breeding techniques to enhance both the yield and quality of G. lucidum across the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. The article discusses the current state of research on the use of contemporary omics technologies which studies and highlights future research directions that may increase the production of bioactive compounds for their therapeutic potential. Additionally, predictive methods with computational studies have recently emerged as effective tools for investigating bioactive constituents in G. lucidum, providing an organized and cost-effective strategy for understanding their bioactivity, interactions, and possible therapeutic uses. Omics and machine learning techniques can be applied to identify the candidates for pharmaceutical applications and to enhance the production of bioactive compounds in G. lucidum. The quantification and production of the bioactive compounds can be streamlined by the integrating computational study of bioactive compounds with non-destructive predictive machine learning models of the same. Synergistically, these techniques have the potential to be a promising approach for the future prediction of the bioactive constituents, without compromising the integrity of the fungal organism.

Bronchobiliary fistula is a very rare entity that presents with bilioptysis. We present a noteworthy case involving a patient with portal cavernoma cholangiopathy complicated by cholangitis and bronchobiliary fistula. The diagnosis was established through high-resolution computed tomography of the thorax and bronchoscopic evaluation. Subsequently, the patient underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with stenting of the common bile duct. Remarkably, the bronchobiliary fistula resolved 1 month after the procedure.

A 21-year-old man presented with acute onset of jaundice, abdominal pain, ascites, and hepatomegaly, along with a history of Budd-Chiari syndrome previously treated with vena cava angioplasty. Investigations revealed rapidly worsening jaundice, coagulopathy, elevated creatinine levels, reactive hepatitis B serology, and positive antiphospholipid antibodies, with scores indicating a poor prognosis for liver transplant-free survival.Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated a narrowed intrahepatic vena cava and new thrombosis in the right and middle hepatic veins. Renal biopsy, prompted by nephritic range proteinuria, indicated mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) with immune complex deposition. The described case involves acute-on-chronic liver failure with acute insults from new onset hepatic vein thrombosis and hepatitis B reactivation, in a patient at a non-transplant center, who also had underlying antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, and MPGN. The patient was successfully treated with antiviral, anticoagulation, and antiplatelet agents, along with a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor and a direct intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, despite having a Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score of 35.

This is the report of a 28 year old woman who had a holocranial pulsating headache once a month with nausea, photophobia and phonophobia lasting about 48 hours. There was no preceding aura. The headache used to subside on every occasion with profuse epistaxis from both nostrils. Her neurological and otolaryngological examination was normal. MRI brain showed no abnormality. During one of the examinations at the time of the headache and epistaxis, she was found to have bilateral congestion of nasal mucosa with no obvious identifi cation of bleeding points. This case illustrates that migraine can result in epistaxis in some patients.
