The variability of clinical course and prognosis COVID-19 highlights the necessity patient sub-group risk stratification based on data. In this study, data from a cohort Indian hospitalized patients is used to develop mortality prediction models. We analyzed set 70 parameters including physiological hematological for developing machine learning models identify biomarkers. also compared Wuhan cohort, role steroids. A bootstrap averaged ensemble Bayesian networks was learned construct an...
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...
ABSTRACT Second wave of COVID-19 pandemic in India came with unexpected quick speed and intensity, creating an acute shortage beds, ventilators, oxygen at the peak occurrence. This may have been partly caused by emergence new variant delta. Clinical experience cases admitted to hospitals suggested that it is not merely a steep rise but also possibly case-profile different. study was taken up investigate differentials characteristics second versus those first wave. Records total 14398 (2020)...
BackgroundBecause relatively little has been known about the actual prevalence of hypertension in India, particularly for its rural population, we investigated arterial a Indian population.
Background: Bronchoscopic lung cryobiopsy (BLC) is a novel technique for obtaining tissue the diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal diseases. The procedure performed using several different variations technique, resulting in an inconsistent diagnostic yield and variable risk complications. There unmet need standardization technical aspects BLC. Methodology: This position statement framed by group comprising experts from fields pulmonary medicine, thoracic surgery, pathology, radiology under aegis...
Co-infection with ancillary pathogens is a significant modulator of morbidity and mortality in infectious diseases. There have been limited reports co-infections accompanying SARS-CoV-2 infections, albeit lacking India specific study. The present study has made an effort toward elucidating the prevalence, diversity characterization co-infecting respiratory nasopharyngeal tract positive patients. Two complementary metagenomics based sequencing approaches, Respiratory Virus Oligo Panel (RVOP)...
Serious infections caused by MBLs with or without OXA-48-like expressing Enterobacterales remain challenging to treat. Since aztreonam is stable MBLs, it can be combined ceftazidime/avibactam protect against concurrently expressed ESBLs and class C β-lactamases in MBL pathogens. However, the light of dose-limiting hepatotoxicity aztreonam, short half life avibactam, significant protein binding appropriate dosing method administration optimize PK/PD toxicodynamics for this combination being...
A 26-year-old, 14 week pregnant woman was admitted to our hospital with pneumonia acute respiratory distress syndrome in an intubated and mechanically ventilated state. She diagnosed have polymicrobial infection left-sided pneumothorax put on a ventilator for 2 weeks. Postextubation, she found it difficult clear her secretions despite aggressive routine chest physiotherapy. planned undergo mini-tracheostomy tracheobronchial toileting. However, before that, given trial of Acapella, hand-held...
To gain better insight into the extent of secondary bacterial and fungal infections in hospitalized patients India, to assess how these alter course coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) so that control measures can be suggested.In this retrospective, multicentre study, data all who tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) on reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), admitted hospital between March 2020 July 2021, were accessed from...
Anti-tubercular drugs are associated some common and uncommon adverse effects. We report the association between cardiomyopathy use of anti-tubercular drugs. In two cases described in case different causes ruled out leading to diagnosis drug induced cardiomyopathy. The also throws light on various aspects this clinical implications.
We describe a middle aged previoulsy healthy female patient who presented with clinical features suggestive of acute heart failure. Investigations revealed very high NT pro-BNP, right enlargement, bilateral pulmonary alveolar edema and pleural effusion. In view falling platelet counts exudative effusion inflammatory/infective causes were considered. Her Weil Felix test was strongly positive IgM for scrub typhus also returned positive. She started on doxycycline to which there dramatic...
During the times of ongoing COVID pandemic, aerosol-generating procedures such as bronchoscopy have potential transmission severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 to healthcare workers. The decision perform during pandemic should be taken judiciously. Over years, indications for in clinical practice expanded. Experts at Indian Association Bronchology perceived need develop a concise statement that would assist bronchoscopist performing safely. current Consensus Statement provides...
Round Table IntroductIonIn typical health-care settings, Intensive Care Units (ICUs) have 10%-15% of the total hospital beds, but hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) in ICUs account for 20%-30% all nosocomial infections. [1]In addition, are epicenters multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) which may increase chances inadequate empirical antibiotic therapy resulting excess mortality. [1]With emergence carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) along with recent reports colistin resistance,...
Background.Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a specific type of chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) that progressive in course.Although evidence-based guidelines for IPF are available, these difficult to interpret the average physician and may not be suitable use resource-constrained settings.There was an unmet need formulate pragmatic, easy understand suited application resource-limited settings.Methods.This statement made by group expert pulmonologists.Twenty-five...
ABSTRACT Medical Thoracoscopy (MT) is commonly performed by respiratory physicians for diagnostic as well therapeutic purposes. The aim of the study was to provide evidence-based information regarding all aspects MT, both a tool and aid pulmonologists across India. consensus-based guidelines were formulated based on multistep process using set 31 questions. A systematic search published randomized controlled clinical trials, open labelled studies, case reports from electronic databases, like...
Background: Diagnosis of isolated mediastinal tuberculosis (TB) can be challenging. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) increases the diagnostic yield by direct sonographic visualization and hilar lymph nodes. With advent molecular techniques such as Gene Xpert, their addition to cytology cultures detection rifampicin resistance (RR) which helps change effective therapeutic regimen immediately. Materials Methods: Prospective analysis all patients undergoing EBUS-guided transbronchial needle...
Sleep disorders encompass a broad group of conditions. In this article the sleep related breathing are considered from initial presentation through diagnosis and investigations to management.
Abstract The clinical course of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is highly variable with the vast majority recovering uneventfully but a small fraction progressing to severe and death. Appropriate timely supportive care can reduce mortality it critical evolve better patient risk stratification based on simple data, so as perform effective triage during strains healthcare infrastructure.
