ABSTRACT In patients with severe asthma allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), a variety of radiological manifestations are seen. Pleural involvement is rare, and very few case reports secondary spontaneous pneumothorax have been reported in the literature. Here, we report an even rarer patient ABPA ‘without asthma’.
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) procedure is nowadays routinely used for diagnostic sampling of mediastinal lymph nodes. Fracture the during has rarely been reported in past. This reports successful retrieval broken fragment using a snare through fiberoptic bronchoscope. The accidental breakdown was encountered while performing EBUS-TBNA from subcarinal node. cardinal management such emergencies resource-constrained settings can be accomplished by...
Psychological co-morbidities are common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but remain overlooked. Psychosocial interventions deemed to promote mental health and optimize management. This study aimed determine the role of detailed psychological evaluation treatment comprehensive management COPD. COPD patients after screening with general questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) for co-morbidity were divided into three groups (26 each): i) group A [GHQ-12 score<3, received rehabilitation (PR)...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not only restricted to the inflammation and airway obstruction but also associated with comorbidities, which affect therapeutic intervention quality of life survival. Markers that can predict systemic a decline in function are scientific interest. Adiponectin (APN) appears be one such biomarker used as potential indicator severity response treatment patients COPD.The study aims find out role APN marker pathogenesis COPD explore its relationship...
Pulmonary nocardiosis is a rising bacterial infection, with high propensity for misdiagnosis. On account of paucity prospective studies, there limited understanding on various aspects its diagnosis and treatment. We present three patients pulmonary nocardiosis, emphasis the predisposing factors, variable disease course, treatment issues. There need to understand basis these discrepancies so as rationalize management this potentially fatal infection.
Introduction: Tuberculosis and Diabetes mellitus are two public health problems which not only often coexist but have serious implications on each other. DM has an impact symptomatology, radiological presentation, diagnosis management of TB. TB a significant DM, causing unmasking poor control because stress or drug treatment for Present study attempts to assess this coexistence with regard the age predisposition, sex preponderance, duration glycemic diabetes presentations. Materials Methods:...
Evaluation of mental health in chronic lung diseases like interstitial disease (ILD) and obstructive pulmonary (COPD) has always been neglected underrated. The aim the study was to determine psychological morbidity patients ILD its various socio-clinical correlates. A cross-sectional clinic based descriptive with 50 patients, 30 COPD healthy controls undertaken. Psychological distress assessed using different scales, General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), Patient Distress Thermometer...
Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterised by a modified inflammatory response to chronic irritants which often associated with some degree of systemic inflammation. Exacerbations in COPD are characterized exaggeration the ongoing A number mediators found be raised exacerbations but most them expensive and not readily available. The Neutrophil-lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) rapid, easy cheap biomarker that has been shown patients COPD. Aim: To evaluate role NLR...
Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is commonly characterized by shortness of breath, coughing or expectoration. Smoking the leading cause COPD development, but only a small percentage smokers develop symptoms, implying genetic component. Glutathione S ‐transferase enzymes are responsible for detoxifying cigarette smoke components. The role glutathione T1 (GSTT1) and S‐transferase M1 (GSTM1) gene polymorphism was assessed with susceptibility associated clinical parameters...
Differentiation between tuberculosis (TB) and sarcoidoisis is sometimes extremely difficult. Sequential occurrence of sarcoidosis TB in the same patient uncommon. We present case a young man, with proven diagnosis who later developed after completion treatment for sarcoidosis. A 32-year-old male presented low-grade fever since two months. Physical examination revealed cervical lymphadenopathy. Initial fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) lymph node was suggestive granulomatous...
The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2023 recommends a comprehensive multidimensional assessment patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and stresses the need evaluation of their health status quality life (QOL). COPD test (CAT), clinical questionnaire (CCQ) St. George Respiratory (SGRQ) are recommended by GOLD such assessments. However, correlation spirometry in Indian population is not known. Other similar questionnaires like sleep impact...
Asthma is a debilitating chronic disease that renders individuals physically as well mentally sick. The perception of stigmatization further leads to inappropriate control asthma resulting in bidirectional relationship. A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted tertiary care centre semi urban area north India during 2021-2022. Three hundred cases bronchial and 50 healthy controls were enrolled. test (ACT) used evaluate the asthma. Stigma self-esteem measured with use 28 item...
Background: Everything that wheezes is not asthma. In patients of tuberculosis (TB), wheezing can be because bronchial asthma, or many other causes. Asthma and causes need to differentiated, as the treatment should planned accordingly.Methods: Patients active/quiescent who presented Department Tuberculosis Chest Diseases, Government Medical College, Patiala, Punjab, India, with complaints breathlessness had rhonchi on examination were subjected bronchodilator reversibility testing prove if...
