The question of which combination procedures gives the best diagnostic yield following fiberoptic bronchoscopy is controversial.To evaluate value various techniques in diagnosis endoscopically visible lung cancer.The study included 98 patients found to have endobronchially tumor during routine daily bronchoscopy. Endobronchial lesions were classified as mass, submucosal lesion and infiltration. Washings, brushings forceps biopsies obtained all subjects. Transbronchial needle aspirations...
NRAMP1 gene has multiple pleiotropic effects on macrophage activation pathways. These may increase resistance to infections such as tuberculosis (TB), but also lead susceptibility of autoimmune diseases rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It been hypothesized that allele 3 would be associated with diseases, whereas 2 infectious and genetic factors enhanced survival in the epidemics TB might have led for development RA. We analysed four polymorphisms including 5' promoter (GT)(n) (rs34448891), INT4...
Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic granulomatous disease. It usually affects the lung. The diagnosis may be problematic since known causes of inflammation must excluded. This multicenter study aimed to evaluate clinical presentations and diagnostic approaches sarcoidosis. protocol was sent via internet, participants were asked send information (clinical, radiological diagnostic) on newly diagnosed sarcoidosis cases. 293 patients enrolled within two years. Pulmonary symptoms found in 73.3%...
BACKGROUND: Whilst intrathoracic lymphadenitis is a characteristic sign of primary tuberculosis in children, its presence without parenchymal lesions adults unusual and makes the diagnosis using noninvasive techniques difficult. The diagnostic role bronchoscopy with tuberculous reported. METHODS: Seventeen patients lymphadenopathy seen during 1993 who had all undergone been found to have absence any lung were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS: Right paratracheal was observed on plain chest...
Extrapulmonary sarcoidosis is common, and almost always associated with concomitant thoracic involvement. manifestations vary on the basis of gender, age at presentation ethnicity. The aim this study was to investigate extrapulmonary involvement in patients Turkey.This conducted by Turkish Thoracic Society Clinical Problems Study Group. New cases between 1 June 2004 31 May 2006 were recorded electronic case record forms sent all potential investigators information about collected.One hundred...
Dysnatremia is reported to have a prognostic effect in various diseases. A limited number of studies been published on dysnatremiarelated parameters and clinical outcome patients with pneumonia. The aim the study analyze factors related baseline dysnatremia evaluate hospital stay, 30-day 1-year mortality hospitalized community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).The two-centre, retrospective, crosssectional study. According corrected sodium values, CAP were grouped as hyponatremia (<135 mmol/L),...
Elevated red blood cell distribution width (RDW) levels were associated with mortality in patients stable chronic obstructive lung pulmonary diseases (COPD). There are limited data about RDW acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD).The association the severity AECOPD was evaluated according to admission location, (outpatient-clinic, ward and intensive care unit (ICU)).Cross sectional retrospective study designed tertiary hospital for chest 2015. Previously diagnosed admitted outpatient-clinic,...
Behaviours and opinions of adolescent students on smokingIntroduction: Smoking is one the major causes preventable diseases, disability death in globe Turkey.In our study, knowledge about smoking addiction which organ body damaged due to are aimed be determined.Patients Methods: Surveys were applied private university preparatory training center Anatolian side Istanbul.In conducted survey, questions related with students' demographic characteristics, themselves, their families friends...
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare lesion, representing 0.04–1.2% of all lung tumors. Brunn first described it in 1939, but its etiology remains uncertain. A 16-year-old patient was admitted to our hospital for further examination following abnormal radiological findings. The physical showed no abnormality, and routine hematological biochemical parameters were within normal range. Chest radiograph revealed homogenous opacity the right upper lobe with regular margins. Thoracic...
The choice of steroids and antibiotics is optional for the management acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pul- monary diseases according to international guidelines. study hypothesized that steroid antibiotic can be decided by using neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio peripheral blood eosinophilia in patients with pulmonary diseases. This would reduce rate re-hospitalization 28 days.Patients were hospitalized due from February 1, 2018, January 31, 2019. Patients divided into 2 groups: Sureyyapasa...
Selvi, A. Kant, S. Arslan, M. Ozgel. Background: Residual pleural thickening (RPT) still occurs in most patients with tuberculosis pleurisy despite advances the treatment of tuberculosis. The aim this study was to evaluate significance RPT clinical findings, biochemical and microbiological properties effusion total adenosine deaminase (ADA) isoenzymes levels. Methods: 121 were evaluated retrospectively. According posteroanterior chest x-rays, 63 (52%) cases thickness 2 mm or more lower...
Primary tumors of the trachea are rare and can be missed because paucity symptoms findings difficulty in detecting them with chest radiographs. A 31-year-old male patient was admitted complaints shortness breath, coughing, phlegm, blood sputum. He stated that he being treated for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a vegetative mass wide base on posterolateral wall distal one-third trachea. Postoperative histopathological examination typical carcinoid...
The skin is the second most commonly involved organ after pulmonary system in sarcoidosis, a multisystemic granulomatous disease. Cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis (leukocytoclastic [LCV]) disorder characterized by neutrophilic inflammation of small blood vessels. Although where LCV seen frequently, extracutaneous involvements are also seen. Herein, we present coexistence sarcoidosis and cutaneous LCV, which an uncommon condition adult.
To evaluate the diagnostic contribution and utility of bacteriologic surveys using bronchoscopic washing gastric lavage in cases radiologically suspected tuberculosis with no detectable acid-fast bacilli (AFB) sputum.This prospective study performed following pulmonary patients. The presence AFB was determined via direct microscopy materials were cultured Löwenstein-Jensen medium.Thirty-eight consecutive patients enrolled (30 males 8 females; mean age, 33.8 +/- 10.9 years). Three could not...
Acute exacerbations, most of which are due to lower respiratory tract infections, cause great morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) these infections. The aim this study was determine the causative organism effects azithromycin, ampicillin sulbactam (sultamicillin), ciprofloxacin cefaclor monohydrate therapy COPD. One hundred six COPD acute exacerbation were randomized into four groups for empiric antibiotic treatment following lung function...
