Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and bi-level (BPAP) are the gold standard treatments for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), but CPAP/BPAP is not well tolerated requires long-term follow-up.We prospectively assessed subjective objective adherence factors that affect in OSAS patients.Subjects using were questioned about adverse effects of with Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) at first, third, sixth, twelfth month, once every 6 months after first year. use assessed. Subjects who...
Rationale: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an ongoing pandemic, in which obesity, hypertension, and diabetes have been linked to poor outcomes. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) associated with these conditions may influence the prognosis of adults COVID-19. Objectives: To determine effect OSA on clinical outcomes patients Methods: The current prospective observational study was conducted three hospitals Istanbul, Turkey from March 10 June 22, 2020. participants were categorized as high-risk...
Objectives: We aimed to describe the cardiopulmonary function during exercise and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with a history COVID-19 pneumonia, stratified by chest computed tomography (CT) findings at baseline. Methods: Among 77 consecutive who were discharged from Pulmonology Ward between March 2020 April 2021, 28 (mean age 54.3 ± 8.6 years, 8 females) agreed participate current study. The participants analyzed two groups based on pulmonary involvement (PI) baseline...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Infrequent serious complications of convex-probe endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) have been reported. The aim this study was to assess related EBUS-TBNA and determine the complication rate in a large group subjects. <h3>METHODS:</h3> In retrospective study, 15-item questionnaire on features cases with sent experienced bronchoscopists performing at 3 pulmonary centers. medical records were then reviewed by these complete...
<b>Objectives:</b> The diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) is still a problem especially at emergency units. purpose study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) in patients with PE.<br><b>Methods:</b> In this prospective study, 50 suspected PE were evaluated Department Pulmonary Diseases Training and Reasearch Hospital between January 2010 July 2011. At begining, TUS performed by chest physician, subsequently for definitive computed tomography angiography...
A recent study reported an association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and low vitamin D levels. In this study, we measured levels in patients referred for evaluation of suspected OSA sought to identify associated risk factors deficiency. Our objective was determine whether evaluations with should include routine screening deficiency.Using a cross-sectional design, consecutively enrolled Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Kartal Training Research Hospital Istanbul, Turkey. We conducted full-night...
Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the sensitivity and diagnostic value convex probe endobronchial sonographically guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) in diagnosis granulomatous mediastinal lymphadenitis. Methods Patients clinically radiologically suspected have disease followed our clinic between October 2008 July 2010 were included. Convex EBUS with local anesthesia under conscious sedation EBUS‐TBNA from hilar lymph nodes performed after physical...
Hypersensitivity reactions has been reported with COVID-19 vaccines. Acute eosinophilic pneumonia not yet after Sinovac/CoronaVac vaccine. A 73-year-old woman presented maculopapular rash, cough and dyspnea following injection. The complete blood count (CBC) indicated eosinophilia further evaluation of the CT bronchoscopy confirmed a diagnosis acute pneumonia. After methylprednisolone therapy, her rash resolved marked improvement dyspnea. She is still on treatment follow up period, we plan...
Patients with suspected tuberculosis without pulmonary lesions and intrathoracic lymphadenopathy often pose a diagnostic challenge. The aim of this study was to describe the utility endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in patients isoleted due (TB).Cases tuberculous lymphadenitis (TBLA) as final diagnosis were analysed among whom EBUS-TBNA had been performed. All underwent routine clinical assessment CT scan prior EBUS-TBNA. Demographic data,...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a game changer in many aspects of clinical practice.Acute exacerbations idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are known as serious events, which can reach mortality rate 50%, where viral infections may play role.We describe the case 64-year-old male patient with diagnosis IPF under antifibrotic treatment for 1 year; tested positive COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction test nasopharyngeal swab, and his chest computed tomography results were...
This study aims to investigate the role of endobronchial ultrasonography elastography in predicting malignancy.Between January 2016 and December 2016, a total 221 lymph nodes were biopsied using ultrasonography-guided transbronchial needle aspiration from 119 consecutive patients (69 males, 50 females; mean age 63.2±12.4 years; range, 16 86 years) included. Lymph scored by according their colors four categories before procedure. The strain ratio was calculated based on region interest after...
Highlights• SARS-CoV-2 uses the ACE2 receptors for host cell entry.• receptor gene expression in airways seems to be similar asthma and health.• Asthma does not seem a risk factor severe COVID-19.• T2 high inflammation, inhaler steroid use may have an impact on ACE downregulation.• vary central peripheral airways.• differ various endotypes some subgroups such as smokers more COVID-19.
The cost-effectiveness and low rate of inadequate sampling with the use rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) along endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) is well established. Our aim in this study was to evaluate correlation ROSE during EBUS final cytologic diagnosis also see if might predict subtype lung cancer.All consecutive subjects who attended our clinic between January 2016 2019 for pathologic mediastinal and/or hilar lymph nodes (LNs)/mass using were enrolled into prospective study....
Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) has emerged as a risk marker for many conditions related to pulmonary hypertension (PH); however, little is known about ADMA and symmetric (SDMA) plasma concentrations in chronic obstructive disease (COPD). Our interest centers on the role of regulation endothelial function COPD secondary PH. The aim present study was evaluate serum ADMA, SDMA, L-arginine its association with PH.Patients diagnosis underwent tests, echocardiography, laboratory investigations...
