Isolated diaphragmatic palsy in the absence of progressive neuromuscular disease is uncommon. It poses diagnostic challenges and limited data are available regarding prognosis. We present retrospective cohort from two large teaching hospitals United Kingdom.60 patients who were assessed either as inpatients or outpatients included this study. Patients with excluded. Clinical presentation, tests respiratory muscle function (sitting/supine vital capacity, maximal expiratory pressure (MEP),...
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in drivers/workers has been implicated railway and road traffic safety incidents; however, there are insufficient data on its prevalence cost-effective screening methods.This pragmatic study examines four OSA tools: the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), STOP-Bang (SB), adjusted neck circumference (ANC) body mass index (BMI), exploring their suitability effectiveness separately combination.Using all tools, 292 train drivers were opportunistically screened between...
Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is a non-polio enterovirus that occasionally causes respiratory illnesses. EV-D68 infections have occurred over the last couple of years and high prevalence worldwide. This virus has recently been linked to acute flaccid paralysis particularly affects children. We report case young adult who presented with neurological manifestations along involvement. was detected in patient’s broncho-alveolar lavage followed by prolonged recovery period. Clinicians should consider...
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) using aspirin and ticlopidine, a thienopyridine P2Y12 inhibitor, was introduced, decreasing the rate of stent thrombosis to about 1%.Continuation dual until Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) increases risk excessive perioperative bleeding, transfusions, re-exploration for bleeding as shown in RCTs observational studies metanalyses.Therefore, it is recommended that inhibitor should be discontinued whenever possible before elective CABG.For clopidogrel, CABG...

Healthcare-associated infections are estimated to cost the NHS approximately £1 billion a year.In addition increased costs, each one of these means additional use resources, greater patient discomfort and decrease in safety.In wake growing burden healthcareassociated (HCAIs), increasing severity illness complexity treatment, superimposed by multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogen infections, healthcare practitioners (HCPs) reversing back basics infection preventions simple measures like hand...
<b>Background:</b> Isolated bilateral diaphragmatic palsy (BDP) in absence of progressive neuromuscular disease is not easy to diagnose. There are limited data on clinical presentation and prognosis. We present retrospective cohort from 2 large teaching hospitals United Kingdom.. <b>Results:</b> A total 56 patients (37 men) with mean age 58.5 years. <b>Method:</b> can be diivded into 3 groups. Post-op (Heart or Lung transplant)or post-ICU admission (24), Acute hypercapnic respiratory failure...
