Although benign reactive conditions can be misinterpreted as malignancies, a number of malignant lesions in turn mistaken for interstitial lung disease. A nonsmoking male aged 66 years who presented with multifocal dispersed, parenchymal and subpleural nodules, most them cavitated or pseudocavitated, that radiologically mimicked non-malignant conditions, such pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis peribronchiolar organising pneumonia bronchiectasis on computed tomography scan, was...
Though asthma and bronchiectasis are two different diseases, their coexistence has been shown in many patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features asthmatics with compared pure asthmatics.We evaluated 1680 followed-up our clinic. Fifty-one had diagnosis bronchiectasis. These patients were fifty-one age gender matched without bronchiectasis.The prevalence among 3%. Asthma made at 33.2 +/- 16.8 years for 39.5 16.2 (P = 0.05). Asthmatics mostly severe persistent...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Respiratory muscle weakness occurs in sarcoidosis and is related to decreased exercise capacity, greater fatigue, dyspnea, lower quality of life patients. The effects inspiratory training this population have not been comprehensively investigated so far. This study was planned investigate the on respiratory peripheral strength, pulmonary function diffusing depression, subjects with sarcoidosis. <h3>METHODS:</h3> a prospective, randomized, controlled, double blind study....
Organizing pneumonia is an important disease that associated with non-specific clinical findings and radiographic appearance. Our aim was to examine the radiological features, laboratory findings, diagnostic approach, response therapy in subjects cryptogenic (COP) secondary organizing (SOP).Patients' medical records were retrospectively reviewed between 2010 2016 our hospital. We analyzed symptoms, pulmonary function tests, data, bronchoalveolar lavage treatment, prognosis.Thirty-seven...
Premenstrual asthma (PMA) is a clinical picture with worsening of asthmatic symptoms and pulmonary functions in the late luteal phase menstrual cycle. The aim this study was to evaluate inflammatory changes women who complain PMA.
Objective. Recent data demonstrate that control of asthma is far from optimal worldwide. The aim this study was to evaluate the level in tertiary health services by use Asthma Control Test™ (ACT) and assess factors which might influence disease. Methods. A total 2336 patients with were recruited 28 hospitals study. severity classified frequency symptoms, pulmonary function tests, medication requirements according guidelines. assessed Turkish version ACT determinants evaluated medical...
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%...
Extrapulmonary sarcoidosis is common, and almost always associated with concomitant thoracic involvement. manifestations vary on the basis of gender, age at presentation ethnicity.

New cases between 1 June 2004 31 May 2006 were recorded electronic case record forms sent all potential investigators information about collected.One hundred...
Pulmonary involvement due to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is frequent when evaluating a patient with IBD and pulmonary remains complicated. Most of the patients are asymptomatic methods used mostly invasive or expensive procedures. The aim this prospective study evaluate value fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) level for diagnosis investigate any correlation between FENO activity. Thirty-three nonsmoker (25 ulcerative colitis [UC] 8 Crohn's Disease [CD]) who were free corticosteroid...
The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence toxocariasis in adult asthmatics and assess its relationship with risk factors. A total 124 asthmatic 60 control group subjects were included study. Of patients, 61 (49.2%) atopic 63 non-atopic (50.8%). anti-Toxocara IgG (Toxocara CELISA Cellabs, Australia) positivity rate for all cases 9.7%. There no significant difference between regarding (P>0.05). When factors analyzed, there a statistically patients asthma also pets being under...
Sarcoidosis is a systemic chronic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. It predominantly involves the lungs but can affect many organs or tissues in body, such as lymphatic system, skin, eyes, and liver. Typical histopathological lesions are noncaseating granulomas affected organ tissue. Indications, type treatment, duration sarcoidosis treatment currently debated. Despite studies showing that anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) successfully be used refractory sarcoidosis, there some...
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of standard-of-care treatment (SoC) to SoC in combination with omalizumab (OML + Soc) patients severe asthma using real-world prospective clinical data from four major medical centers Turkey.Between February 2018 and November 2019, a total 206 asthma, including 126 whom were OML group 80 group, followed for 12 months their status quality life. Cost this patient-level economic evaluation sourced MEDULA database hospitals expressed Turkish Lira (₺). Efficacy...
Abstract Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common pulmonary manifestation of connective tissue diseases (CTD). Prognostic effect radiological usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern in CTD‐associated (CTD‐ILD) unknown. This study aimed to investigate the progression and mortality patients with CTD‐ILD idiopathic pneumonias (IIP) including fibrosis (IPF) nonspecific prognostic impact UIP on both groups. The medical records 91 (55 36 IIP) diagnosed ILD at medicine department, Faculty...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk esophageal candidiasis in asthma patients who are on inhaled steroids without any other factors for by comparing treatment group with control group. Moreover, oropharyngeal and Candida colonizations were evaluated subgroups both groups. Upper gastrointestinal system endoscopic evaluation performed 40 at least 1 month. consisted steroid naïve asthma. Oral samples obtained performing quantitative culture. growth cultures clinical signs symptoms...
Abstract Background and Aims To evaluate asthma phenotypes in patients with from different regions of Turkey. Methods A total 1400 adult asthmatic (mean (SD) age: 44.0 (13.9) years, 75% females) 14 centers across Turkey were included this study a standard questionnaire was applied between the time period February 2011–January 2012. Results The disease onset ≥ 40 years age higher percentage obese vs. normal/overweight nonallergic allergic ( P < 0.01). who had FEV1 values over 80% than...
The full spectrum of bacterial and fungal species in adult asthma the effect inhaled corticosteroid use is not well described. aim was to collect mouthwash induced sputum samples from newly diagnosed patients pretreatment period chronic while undergoing regular maintenance therapy, order demonstrate microbiome profile.
