ABSTRACT Background and objective: The introduction of 18 F‐FDG PET/CT has enhanced the diagnostic accuracy nodal staging for non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We analysed risk factors occult metastasis in patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC as determined by PET/CT. Methods: Data 147 diagnosed from 2005 to 2007 were retrospectively reviewed. All study underwent staging. They also cervical mediastinoscopy or systematic lymph node dissection. Results: Cervical was performed 78 (53.1%), N2...
Hand grip strength (HGS) is a simple way of predicting the risk cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in general population. However, practical significance patients with COPD uncertain. The aim this study was to compare HGS between subjects without evaluate its clinical relevance by using national survey.Data were collected from Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. included 421 adults 2,542 controls who completed questionnaires, spirometry, test. compared COPD,...
To determine the impact of sarcopenia and obesity on pulmonary function quality life (QOL) in chronic obstructive disease (COPD) patients.Data were obtained from Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey, including data health interviews, examinations, nutritional questionnaires, laboratory findings. Laboratory included assessment dual energy X-ray absorptiometry results. Sarcopenia was measured by absorptiometry, defined body mass index. Male COPD patients then classified into 4...
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a chronic inflammatory disorder. We evaluated whether white blood cell (WBC) count, associated with the severity of COPD, independent other conditions, such as metabolic syndrome. Methods The WBC counts were compared between 1227 COPD patients and 8679 non-COPD adults older than 40. relationships lung function, symptoms score in patients, determined, using general linear regression analyses. Results count was negatively forced vital...
Fully vaccinated people remain at risk of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). We examined association between prior vaccination and clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Overall, 387 mild-to-severe COVID-19 were enrolled. Patients considered fully least 14, 7, 14 days after receiving the second dose ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 or mRNA-1273, BNT162b2, single Ad26.COV2.S, respectively. The primary (risk pneumonia, requirement supplemental oxygen, progression to respiratory failure) compared...
Mycobacterium kansasii is the second most common nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) after avium complex in United States and Japan, 1,2 cause of NTM lung disease Kingdom Western Europe. 3,4Infection with M. probably occurs via an aerosol route.Moreover, unlike other NTM, much more difficult to recover from natural water supplies. 5Tap likely a major reservoir for causing human infection, thus association may exist between clinical potable supplies.Mycobacterium usually presents as that nearly...
The wide variability of isoniazid (INH) pharmacokinetics is mainly attributed to the trimodal N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) acetylator phenotype, that is, rapid, intermediate, and slow. Consequently, a uniform INH dose in current clinical practice may lead treatment failure emergence drug resistance. There lack studies on specific doses for different NAT2 phenotypes among tuberculosis (TB) patients. Therefore, we aimed provide insight into optimal dosing each phenotype with respect...
Lung dysfunction and high apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A-I (apoB/apoA-I) ratio are both recognized risk factors for cardiovascular disease. However, few studies have examined the association between apoB/ApoA-I lung function. Therefore, we investigated whether this is associated with decreased function in a large healthy cohort.
Silicone airway stents are used to widen narrowed airways in patients with post-tuberculosis tracheobronchial stenosis (PTTS). After mechanical stabilization, can be removed from the majority of leaving restored patency. However, a significant minority re-stenosis develops post-sten removal thus necessitating surgical intervention or long-term stenting. In this study, we sought establish prognostic factors for successful PTTS.We retrospectively investigated 71 who underwent silicone stenting...
Abstract Background Subclinical tuberculosis (TB) is a potential target for public health intervention because its early identification may reduce TB transmission. We aimed to describe the clinical and laboratory findings of subclinical disease among pulmonary patients compared treatment outcomes active diseases. Methods In this prospective cohort study, we enrolled adult aged ≥ 19 years with between 2016 2018. was defined as radiographic or microbiologic test results consistent without...
Background Chronic cough is a heterogeneous disease with various aetiologies that are difficult to determine. Our study aimed categorise the phenotypes of chronic cough. Methods Adult patients were assessed based on characteristics and severity their using COugh Assessment Test (COAT) Korean version Leicester Cough Questionnaire. A cluster analysis was performed K-prototype, variables be included determined correlation network. Results In total, 255 participants in analysis. Based network,...
In patients with hemodialysis-associated pneumonia (HDAP), information on both microbiologic features and antimicrobial strategies is limited. The aim of this study to investigate predictive factors infection multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens in HDAP patients. This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational study. Enrolled were classified into MDR or non-MDR groups according culture results. We examined risk created decision support tool using these factors. identified 24 (22.8%) out...
Assessing the illness perception of patients with tuberculosis (TB) could improve our understanding their beliefs about disease and help address problems in health-seeking behavior.We assessed pulmonary TB association patients' demographic, socioeconomic, clinical features.Adult who were newly diagnosed at three tertiary hospitals South Korea included from November 2016 September 2018. Participants' was using Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) start anti-TB treatment.In total, 390...
We aimed to develop integrative machine-learning models using quantitative computed tomography (CT) parameters in addition initial clinical features predict the respiratory outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).This was a retrospective study involving 387 patients with COVID-19. Demographic, laboratory, and CT findings were used predictive outcomes. High-attenuation area (HAA) (%) consolidation defined as quantified percentages Hounsfield units between -600 -250 -100 0,...
Vaccination is an important strategy for controlling the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We conducted a web-based cross-sectional survey based on Google Forms to collect data adverse events (AEs) after first dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine healthcare workers (HCWs). Among 1,676 vaccinated HCWs, 59.5% (998/1,676) responded survey. In total, 809 (81.1%) respondents reported experiencing AEs. There were no serious AEs, such as anaphylaxis. The most common AE was pain at injection...
To understand and predict chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a biomarker that reflects severity is needed.Data from 10269 adults aged over 40 years of age were retrieved the Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), 1302 patients met criteria for COPD. The association between values vitamin D parathyroid hormone (PTH), COPD including lung function quality life, analyzed.In patients, was inversely related to PTH (P = 0.02 FVC [% predicted]; P < 0.001 FEV1...
Abstract Diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH) is a life‐threatening condition caused by widespread damage to the small pulmonary vessels. Common chest imaging findings in patients with DAH show bilateral diffuse airspace opacities. complicating antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)‐associated vasculitis, including microscopic polyangiitis, should be considered as differential diagnosis progressive dyspnea, reduced haemoglobin levels, and opacities on imaging. We report case of 78‐year‐old...
Acute lung injury occasionally occurs after chemotherapy, but pulmonary toxicities by oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy have rarely been identified. A 76-year-old female with rectosigmoid colon cancer presented ongoing dyspnea the eighth cycle of standard (5-fluorouracil, sodium folinic acid, and oxaliplatin: FOLFOX). Nodular consolidation progressed despite antibiotics BAL fluid analysis was compatible diagnosis sarcoidosis. Corticosteroid therapy rapidly improved symptoms radiographic...
