Abstract Chest tuberculosis (CTB) is a widespread problem, especially in our country where it one of the leading causes mortality. The article reviews imaging findings CTB on various modalities. We also attempt to categorize into those definitive for active TB, indeterminate disease activity, and indicating healed TB. Though radiological modalities are widely used evaluation such patients, no guidelines exist use these diagnosis follow-up. Consequently, not optimally utilized patients often...
Over the past few years, demographic profile of lung cancer has changed. However, most reports are limited by small numbers, short follow-up period, and show an inconsistent pattern. A comprehensive evaluation changing trends over a long period not been done.Consecutive patients were studied 10-year from January 2008 to March 2018 at All India Institute Medical Sciences, New Delhi, relevant clinical information, survival outcomes analyzed.A total 1862 evaluated, with mean (SD) age 59 (11.1)...
BackgroundHealth-care-associated infections (HAIs) cause significant morbidity and mortality globally, including in low-income middle-income countries (LMICs). Networks of hospitals implementing standardised HAI surveillance can provide valuable data on burden, identify monitor prevention gaps. Hospitals many LMICs use case definitions developed for higher-resourced settings, which require human resources laboratory imaging tests that are often not available.MethodsA network 26...
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) as a standalone modality is superior to conventional TBNA (c-TBNA) for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. However, overall yield not different if combined with endobronchial biopsy (EBB) and lung (TBLB). The utility rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) in comparative EBUS-TBNA versus c-TBNA sarcoidosis has been previously evaluated.Eighty patients suspected were randomized 1:1:1:1 into 4 groups: without ROSE (TBNA-NR),...
Data regarding trends of muscle loss on ultrasonography (USG) and its relationship with various outcomes among critically ill patients is limited. This study aimed to describe the thickness arm thigh (assessed using USG) determine between in-hospital post-discharge outcomes. Muscle 70 sepsis was measured at level mid-arm mid-thigh bedside USG days 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 14 then weekly till discharge or death. Patients were followed up for 90 after discharge.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as pandemic in March 2020. Currently there is no specific effective treatment for COVID-19. major cause of death COVID-19 severe pneumonia leading to respiratory failure. Radiation low doses (<100 cGy) been known its anti-inflammatory effect and therefore, dose radiation therapy (LDRT) lungs can potentially mitigate the severity reduce mortality. We conducted a pilot trial study feasibility clinical efficacy...
Over the past decade, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has become an indispensable tool in diagnostic armamentarium of pulmonologist. As expertise with EBUS-TBNA evolved and several innovations have occurred, indications for its use expanded. However, aspects are still not standardized. Hence, evidence-based guidelines needed to optimize yield safety EBUS-TBNA. For this purpose, a working group experts from India was constituted. A detailed...
Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent worldwide. supplementation has shown variable effect on skeletal muscle strength in the elderly with hypovitaminosis D. There a paucity of similar data young individuals.To study cholecalciferol and calcium energy metabolism individuals.Forty healthy volunteers (24 M/16 F, mean age (SD) 31.5 ± 5.0 year) were randomized to either oral (60,000 IU D3/week for 8 weeks followed by 60,000 IU/month 4 months) 1 g elemental daily or dual placebos 6 months.Handgrip...

Introduction: Mediastinal lymphadenopathy is secondary to various benign and malignant etiologies. There a variation in the underlying cause different demographic settings. The initial clue presence of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes through thoracic imaging modalities. Malignancy (Lung cancer, lymphoma, extrathoracic cancer) granulomatous conditions (sarcoidosis tuberculosis) are most common causes. For confident diagnosis, clinician must choose from several available options integrate...
Novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection is associated with hypoxemic respiratory failure. Mechanical ventilation (MV) reported to have high mortality in SARS-CoV-2 acute distress syndrome. We aimed investigate whether awake prone positioning (PP) can improve oxygenation and prevent intubation when employed early.This prospective interventional study included proven disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients room air saturation 93% or less. The primary outcome was the rate of between two groups....
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disorder characterized by poorly reversible airway obstruction. COPD being an inflammatory has been proposed to have imbalance between proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) negative regulator of immune response observed play important role in other diseases as well animal models inflammation. Objective: This study aimed at assessing the suppressive functions circulatory Tregs...
Abstract Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) have many common clinical characteristics, thus making reliable differentiation between these two challenging. The goal of this study is to determine the value exhaled breath condensate derived miRNAs discriminate COPD. This cross-sectional included 65 subjects each with asthma (mean/SD age: 39/13 years, Male n/%: 27/42%), COPD 61/9 53/81%) healthy controls 34.4/12 50/77%). Exhaled (EBC) was collected using R-tubes 40 EBC...
The aim of this study was to compare the discriminatory ability body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height (WHtR) in identifying presence cardiometabolic risk factors Asian Indians.This cross-sectional involved 509 subjects (278 males 231 females) aged 20-60 years from New Delhi, India. Measurements included complete clinical examination, blood pressure, weight, height, WC, BMI, WHR WHtR, fasting glucose, lipid profile, insulin levels....
