The incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTMPD) is increasing worldwide. Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax occurs as a complication underlying lung and associated with higher morbidity, mortality, recurrence than primary pneumothorax. We here investigated the clinical features long-term outcomes NTMPD. conducted retrospective study on consecutive adult patients NTMPD at Fukujuji Hospital Keio University from January 1992 to December 2013. reviewed medical records 69...
Globally, tuberculosis is the leading infectious cause of death; discovering biomarkers that predict a high mortality risk may improve treatment outcomes. We prospectively enrolled 252 pulmonary patients who were not coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus and initiated antituberculosis treatment, measured serum procalcitonin levels (PCT), assessed risk. PCT higher than 0.13 (day 0), 0.05 7), 0.12 14), or 0.06 28) ng/mL predicted nonsurvivors odds ratios 7.9, 14.3, 20.0, 7.3,...
Evidence of characteristics Japanese patients with diabetes from a large-scale population is necessary. Few studies have compared glycaemic controls, complications and comorbidities between type 1 2 diabetic patients. This paper focuses on illustrating clinical picture comparing control prognoses using multi-institutional data. The BioBank Japan Project enrolled adult fiscal years 2003 2007. We presented characteristics, controls serum glucose, cholesterol blood pressure, prevalence survival...
We report the case of a 61-year-old woman with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease caused by clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis. Both serum ferritin and anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibody levels were elevated at time admission. Despite intensive treatment corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, immunoglobulins polymyxin B direct hemoperfusion, patient died 75 days after symptom onset. Over course treatment, anti-MDA5 level continually decreased, while...
Humidifier lung is a phenotype of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) caused by the inhalation humidifier vapours. A recent study comparing with summer-type HP reported several distinct features, including lower serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) levels, less common centrilobular ground-glass nodules on computed tomography scan and higher ratio CD4+ to CD8+ cells in bronchoalveolar lavage.1 However, features mechanisms are not well characterized. Indicators for discrimination from other...
Abstract Introduction: Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) sometimes show persistent severe inflammation for more than 1 month, even if TB treatment is effective. Although this can be improved through continuous antituberculous therapy, the risk factors remain unclear. Therefore, we sought to study characteristics of patients inflammation. Materials and methods: We retrospectively analyzed 147 hospitalized adult C-reactive protein (CRP) levels 5 mg/dL or on admission Fukujuji Hospital...
Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized the field of natural language processing. These models can analyze vast amounts data, extract meaningful insights, and provide a basis for informed conservation decisions. This paper identifies three main applications LLMs ecology biodiversity conservation: 1) generating codes modeling simulations, 2) data collection from digital 3) providing insights into public opinion sentiment. We discussed potential challenges limitations associated with...
An eighty-three-year-old man suffered from cough, right chest pain, and progressive dyspnea for sixteen days. He had hypoxemia, high white blood cells C-reactive protein, moderate right-sided pleural effusion on radiographic imaging. A fluid examination revealed exudate. was diagnosed with infection treated intravenous ampicillin/sulbactam. On the second day of hospitalization, treatment changed to levofloxacin clindamycin due drug eruption. improved gradually prescribed only oral eighteenth...
Hepatocellular adenomas (HCA) have been recently identified as a heterogeneous group, differing based on genotypic well morphological characteristics. HCA are most frequently found in women oral contraception. A type of HCA, inflammatory is also known telangiectatic and was previously referred to focal nodular hyperplasia. We present the first case arising from liver with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). This 30‐year‐old man past medical history PSC, ulcerative colitis diabetes...
Yellow nail syndrome (YNS) is a rare disorder characterized by the triad of yellow, thickened nails, lymphedema, and respiratory manifestations such as pleural effusions, bronchiectasis, recurrent lower tract infections. We report case YNS showing pulmonary interlobular septal thickening on thoracic computed tomography, implying presence lymphatic edema. The patient showed both remission relapse yellow with different lung treatments over long clinical course.
This study assessed longitudinal national data on mortality due to nontuberculous mycobacteriosis (NTMosis) and bronchiectasis the association between two diseases.We analysed death statistics of Japan from 1970 2015. The International Classification Disease (ICD) codes were used extract relevant data. Crude mortality, age-adjusted standardised rates calculated using vital population in 2000. We also identified domestic publications related NTMosis with an internet-based search system.The...
Pulmonary rehabilitation improves the physical condition of patients with chronic respiratory disease; however, there are who cannot leave hospital because their low activities daily living (ADLs), despite completion primary disease treatment and during treatment. Therefore, this study demonstrated that those recovered ADLs through in-hospital pulmonary after completion.We prospectively studied 24 hospitalized had some remaining symptoms showed ADL scores 9 points or less on short...
Large pre-trained models (LPMs) have the capabilities to understand natural language, code, and diverse data including images; e.g., large language (LLMs), code-generative models, vision (LVMs) as well combined multi-modal models. We outlines main applications of LPMs for ecology biodiversity conservation. These include generating ecological data, providing insights into public opinion sentiment. highlighted significant potential use Ecology-specialized They offer unprecedented opportunities...
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic performance detecting systemic arterial pulmonary circulation shunts on multidetector row computed tomography arteriography (MDCTA). Methods Thirty-five consecutive bronchial artery embolization sessions with preprocedural MDCTA were performed for 32 patients and 35 sessions. studies value trunk visually lower than that ascending aorta defined as “diagnostic MDCTA.” Angiographic MDCTA” evaluated, respectively, shunting into...
mucormycosis is an uncommon, life-threatening opportunistic fungal infection which affects immunocompromised patients such as diabetes, recipients of stem cell or organ transplant, and has worse outcomes in those with hematologic malignancy neutropenia.Methods: A 35 years old male patient uncontrolled type II Diabetes mellitus presented to casualty complaints cough associated thick dark brownish sputum for 1 month, fever, loss appetite weight since 15 days.His vitals were stable at the time...
66歳父親,61歳母親,33歳息子の3症例.6年前より夏季になると両親ともに夏型過敏性肺炎(summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis:SHP)をくり返し発症していた.今回転居を決断し作業を行ったところ,両親および今回初めて息子を加えた3人が同時にSHPを発症した.発症した要因としては転居作業に伴う一定閾値以上の抗原暴露が第一に考えられた.また,HLA抗原において,父親,母親,息子はそれぞれHLA-DQ9,HLA-DQ8,HLA-DQ8を保有しており,遺伝的にも発症しやすい環境にあったと考えられた.
