The objective this study was to complete profile lung cancer. Prevalence EGFR mutation adenocarcinoma.Methods: 116 patients were enrolled. They subjected diagnostic procedures like transthoracic FNAC/biopsy, bronchoscopy, thoracoscopy, closed pleural biopsy, lymph node besides routine blood and sputum examinations CECT...
Newer coexisting conditions should be identified in order to modify newer risk factors. Aim was identify patients with non-classical or less common infected of COVID 19.
Tuberculosis is notorious that it affects various sites of the human body and presents in different ways. One uncommon or rather rare presentation extra pulmonary tuberculosis nasal tuberculosis. The nose apart from its physiological functions also contributes to facial aesthetics gives a defined appearance deformity imparts cosmetic disfigurement unsightly appearance. Both primary secondary forms are but should be considered differential diagnosis ulcerative crusting lesions nose. Here we...
Abstract Pulmonary sequestration and cystic pulmonary adenomatoid malformation are rare congenital disorders of the lungs. The presence both diseases in same individual is therefore very uncommon. a nonfunctional tissue mass that derives its blood supply from systemic other than circulation. Congenital represents consisting abnormal bronchiolar air spaces deficiency functional alveoli. This case report 9-year-old girl with intermittent fever, left-sided chest pain, cough for past 15 days...
Aims: To compare the lung functions of TOPD phenotype patients and COPD other than phenotype. Settings design: Retro-prospective cohort study. Introduction: Globally, tuberculosis (TB) has emerged as a risk factor for development chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one leading causes mortality morbidity. This entity been titled (tuberculosis-associated disease), it mentioned in various literatures past by authors. However, still matter debate whether pattern airflow obstruction...
The COVID-19 pandemic has mainly affected the lungs, including many other organs. Many of patients later developed pulmonary fibrosis. This study was planned to determine fibrosis determinants in post-COVID survivors. Hospital-based, cross-sectional done over one year. A pre-designed proforma used collect necessary information, and follow-up HRCT investigations were evaluated. Out 87 patients, 41.3%(n=36) fibrosis; majority, i.e.,66.6%(n=24), males. Most them, 49.42%(n=43), belonged age...
Abstract Background As the pulmonary system and cardiovascular are intimately linked, patients with chronic obstructive disease (COPD) asthma have high risk for developing diseases (CVDs) altered central hemodynamic.
