Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT)-based technology represents a validated portable monitoring modality for the diagnosis of OSA. We assessed diagnostic accuracy PAT-based in large point-of-care cohort patients studied with concurrent polysomnography (PSG).During study enrollment, all participants suspected to have OSA and tested by in-laboratory PSG underwent PAT device recordings.Five hundred concomitant WatchPat tests were analyzed. Median (interquartile range) AHI was 18 (8-37) events/h...
Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) of the lungs is a known morphological subtype nonsmall cell cancer. The current study presents several carcinogenetic theories BAC and possible relationship with atypical adenomatous hyperplasia congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM). authors present an unusual case developed in area CPAM, subsequent progression to metastatic adenocarcinoma (AC). unique due combination of: early age presentation; neoplastic transformation CPAM; unaltered course...
Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and sleep apnea (OSA) are very prevalent disorders. Their coexistence in the same individual has an unclear effect on natural history long-term outcomes. The OLDOSA (Obstructive Lung Disease Obstructive Sleep Apnea) cohort enrolled 4,980 veterans with acute hospitalization whom asthma, COPD, OSA, overlapping conditions, or none of these disorders at baseline had been diagnosed. Pulmonary function, polysomnography, positive airway pressure...
Characterise inhalational exposures during deployment to Afghanistan and Southwest Asia associations with postdeployment respiratory symptoms.
Acromegaly has been associated with calcium-phosphate and bone turnover alterations. Controlled studies of these interactions are sparse. To evaluate calcium metabolism in active treated acromegaly. We conducted a controlled, prospective study at tertiary referral center. studied 22 patients acromegaly referred for surgical or medical therapy (ACM) nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas surgery (control). Calcium (serum urine), phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-hydroxy-...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are prevalent disorders that pose increased risk of cardiovascular disease death. The objective this study was to clarify if continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for OSA affects T2DM control emergence.Point-of-care, comparative effectiveness study; cross-sectional longitudinal analyses.Our cohort included 928 consecutive patients; 13% were women; 36% Caucasians 61% African-Americans. diagnosed in approximately...
Rationale Ineffective peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR) generation in patients using inhalers results insufficient drug delivery to the lungs and poor clinical outcomes. Low muscle strength is associated with suboptimal PIFR. Objective To examine a prospective study relationship between PIFR skeletal hand grip (HGS) as surrogate. Methods Adult admitted acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were enrolled. was measured within 48 hours before discharge. below...
Rationale: Interpretation of spirometry is influenced by inherent limitations and the normal or predicted reference values used. For example, traditional spirometric parameters such as "distal" airflows do not provide sufficient differentiating capacity, especially for mixed patterns small airway disease.Objectives: We assessed utility an alternative parameter (area under expiratory flow–volume curve [AEX]) in between normal, obstruction, restriction, patterns, well severity stratification...
