3001. Mediastinal Staging for Lung Cancer.
Mediastinal lymph node staging in the setting of known or suspected lung cancer is supported by multiple professional societies as standard for high-quality care, yet proper mediastinal staging often is lacking. Neglecting pathologic lymph node sampling can understage or overstage the patient and lead to inappropriate treatment. Although some cases of nodal disease are radiographically obvious, others are not as apparent, and both situations require pathologic proof to allow for appropriate treatment selection. This article discusses the nuances of mediastinal staging and emphasizes the usefulness of a multidisciplinary approach and dialog to address lung cancer staging and treatment. We summarize the relevant guidelines and literature and provide a case scenario to illustrate the approach to mediastinal staging from our viewpoints as a thoracic surgeon and pulmonologist.

Attenuation of transforming growth factor β by blocking angiotensin II has been shown to reduce emphysema in a murine model. General population studies have demonstrated that the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEis) and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) is associated with reduction of emphysema progression in former smokers and that the use of ACEis is associated with reduction of FEV1 progression in current smokers.

Tobacco smoking is associated with a reduced risk of developing sarcoidosis, and we previously reported that nicotine normalizes immune responses to environmental antigens in patients with active pulmonary sarcoidosis. The effects of nicotine on the progression of pulmonary sarcoidosis are unknown.

Escape Rooms are gaining prominence as education modalities; the use of principles of game design have been shown to augment knowledge acquisition in a fun, team-based learning experience ("edutainment"). In this report, we outline some of the medical literature and then provide our step-by-step approach and lessons learned when building what was, to our knowledge, the first continuing medical education Escape Room at a national scientific meeting. We then comment on how this innovative educational offering was reimagined the following year for remote (virtual) learning because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cryobiopsy enables specialists to perform high-quality, large, entirely circumferential biopsies; therefore, it may improve the diagnostic yield of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs), as has been previously observed regarding endobronchial tumors and interstitial lung diseases.
3020. A 26-Year-Old Woman With Dyspnea on Exertion.
A 26-year-old woman with no significant medical history was referred for 5 months of dry cough, dyspnea, presyncope and chest pressure, and nausea with exertion. The family history was notable for thromboembolic disease in the setting of malignancy and autoimmune disease. She was not on any medications. She is a never smoker and did not use recreational drugs. She had no work-related exposures. Her BP was 95/67 mm Hg; her heart rate was 93 beats per minute, and oxygen saturation was 98% on room air. Lung fields were clear to auscultation. She had a prominent P2 heart sound. There was no jugular venous distension or edema. There was no clubbing, rash, or synovitis.
