Airway exposure to 1,3-β-D-glucan (β-glucan), an essential component of the cell wall several pathogenic fungi, causes various adverse responses, such as pulmonary inflammation and airway hypersensitivity. The former response has been intensively investigated; however, mechanism underlying β-glucan-induced hypersensitivity is unknown. Capsaicin-sensitive lung vagal (CSLV) afferents are very chemosensitive stimulated by insults lungs. Activation CSLV triggers reflexes, cough. Furthermore,...
Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a major health problem worldwide. Hypercalcemia has been described in patients with TB. Symptomatic hypercalcemia treated using aggressive hydration and short courses of systemic corticosteroid to decrease serum calcium levels. The duration dosage steroid treatment are not well established. present report describes case 66-year-old man diagnosed pulmonary TB, who received anti-TB therapy for 4 months, after which he presented an episode acute kidney injury....
Abstract Background: Nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding was reasonable choice for patients with advanced esophageal cancer a short-life expectancy. Bedside blind NGT placement beyond the nearly total obstruction lesion usually fail and is challenging. Each individual patient might have different stage, tumor location size, natural course of disease, technique feasibility, tolerability placement. This study evaluates benefits limitations palliative placements during their last months life....
