Background: Although the FACED score has demonstrated a great prognostic capacity in bronchiectasis, it does not include number or severity of exacerbations as separate variable, which is important natural history these patients. Objective: Construction and external validation new index, E-FACED, to evaluate predictive mortality. Methods: The was constructed on basis complete cohort for construction original score, while undertaken with six cohorts from three countries (Brazil, Argentina,...
ABSTRACT Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite vast diversity respiratory microbiota, Streptococcus pneumoniae remains most prevalent pathogen among etiologic agents. significant decrease in mortality rates for lower tract infections recent decades, CAP ranks third as a Brazil. Since latest Guidelines on from Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisiologia (SBPT, Brazilian Thoracic Association) were published (2009), there have been major...
ABSTRACT Background There is scarce evidence on the fourth dose of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccines in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. We evaluated humoral response and effectivity CKD spectrum: non-dialysis (ND-CKD), haemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) transplant (KT) recipients. Methods This a prespecified analysis prospective, observational, multicentric SENCOVAC study. In patients with who had received complete initial vaccination one or two...
Objective: Barriers to physical activity can affect the functional capacity and quality of life patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). This study aimed identify main barriers in PH examine whether those are related capacity, echocardiographic variables, or life. Methods: was a cross-sectional observational involving 70 patients. Participants scored seven potential their activities, score = 5 indicating significant barrier. completed Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey...

COVID-19 survivors often experience late symptoms, possibly secondary to an exacerbated inflammatory response. This study aimed investigate whether levels, assessed by the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) during hospitalization in acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection, affect skeletal muscle phenotype and adipose tissue outpatient follow-up after discharge. retrospective, single-center included hospitalized from March 2020 April 2021, who attended follow-ups 3 9 months Patients were...
Background: Computed tomography (CT) phenotypic characterization helps in understanding the clinical diversity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, but its relevance and relationship with functional features are not clarified. Volumetric capnography (VC) uses principle gas washout analyzes pattern CO 2 elimination as a function expired volume. The main variables analyzed were end-tidal concentration carbon dioxide (ETCO ), Slope phase (Slp2), 3 (Slp3) capnogram, curve...
Bronchiectasis is a condition that has been increasingly diagnosed by chest HRCT. In the literature, bronchiectasis divided into secondary to cystic fibrosis and not associated with fibrosis, which termed non-cystic bronchiectasis. Many causes can lead development of bronchiectasis, patients usually have chronic airway symptoms, recurrent infections, CT abnormalities consistent condition. The first international guideline on diagnosis treatment was published in 2010. Brazil, this review...
The FACED score is an easy-to-use multidimensional grading system that has demonstrated excellent prognostic value for mortality in patients with bronchiectasis. A Spanish group developed the but no multicenter international validation yet been published. Retrospective and study conducted six historical cohorts of from Latin America including 651 Clinical, microbiological, functional, radiological variables were collected, following same criteria used original study. vital status all was...
Pulmonary arterial hypertension impairs exercise tolerance and daily physical activity. Aside from the hemodynamic limitations, physical, cognitive, emotional factors may play a relevant as yet unexplored role. We investigated whether there is an association between activity level psychological disorders, health‐related quality of life, activities. also searched for with clinical functional capacity. This was analytical, cross‐sectional, observational study conducted in Brazilian University...
Background: Obstructive lung diseases of different etiologies present with progressive peripheral airway involvement. The airways, known as the silent zone, are not adequately evaluated conventional function tests. principle gas washout has been used to detect pulmonary ventilation inhomogeneity and estimate location underlying disease process. Volumetric capnography (VC) analyzes pattern CO 2 elimination a expired volume. Objective: To measure normalized phase 3 slopes VC in patients...
Both FACED and E-FACED scores have shown good short-term prognostic value for predicting mortality in bronchiectasis http://ow.ly/albl30i11bv.
Special attention has emerged towards biomass smoke-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), providing new knowledge for prevention and therapeutic approach of non-smoker COPD patients.However, the understanding smoke is still limited somewhat controversial.The aim present study was to compare exclusively caused by tobacco smoking with environmental or occupational exposures.For this crosssectional study, patients were recruited from outpatient clinics formed two groups: group...
Poorly reversible airflow obstruction may or not be related to smoking.To describe patients with severe obstructive lung disease including etiology, imaging, functional aspects, systemic manifestations, and the pattern of bronchodilator response.Sixty-eight (age 55.9±13.7 years, FEV(1) [forced expiratory volume in one second] 31.9±10.2% predicted) underwent spirometry, evaluation body mass composition, 6-minute walk test, X-ray, thorax high-resolution CT scanning, clinical evaluation.Of 68...
We report the case of a patient with severe dyspnea upon reclining. Lung disease, neuromuscular disorders and heart disease were ruled out. However, during course investigation, bilateral diaphragmatic paresis was discovered. A key sign leading to diagnosis evidence paradoxical respiration in dorsal decubitus position. When moved from orthostatic position position, oxygenation forced vital capacity worsened. The fluoroscopy normal. Maximal inspiratory pressure severely reduced. responses...
OBJECTIVE: To determine the probability of oxygen desaturation in healthy individuals undergoing incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT). METHODS: We enrolled 83 subjects: 55 males (including 1 smoker) and 28 females. determined pre-ISWT FEV1, FEV6, HR SpO2, as well post-ISWT SpO2. RESULTS: Mean values overall were follows: age, 35.05 ± 12.53 years; body mass index, 24.30 3.47 kg/m2; resting HR, 75.12 12.48 bpm; 97.96 1.02%; 3.75 0.81 L; 4.45 0.87 FEV1/FEV6 ratio, 0.83 0.08 (no restriction or...
Design of digital circuits and systems are topics covered in undergraduate courses on Computer Science, Engineering, Electrical Engineering. Simple processor architectures used as example to apply integrate the concepts studied these courses. In this paper, we discuss use a simple named BIP (Basic Instruction-set Processor) design. is distinguished from similar processors because it was developed by applying multidisciplinary approach order allow its introductory computer programming several...
Abstract Introduction Vitamin D acts on the immune system and lung response. Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) may be deficient in this vitamin. The aims of study were to evaluate vitamin levels severity disease infants preschoolers diagnosed CF, compare them a group children without pancreatic insufficiency (PI). Methods CF up 4 years old included, compared an age‐matched diagnosis CF. had medical records High Resolution Thorax Computed Tomography (HRCCT) evaluated order verify disease....
