Psychological impairment is a significant co-morbid condition of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). No studies from India have been conducted to assess the prevalence depression in COPD.We investigated 100 consecutive stable COPD patients during their routine outpatient department visits. Patients diagnosed or systemic diseases were excluded. Severity was classified according Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines. Hindi translations patient...
The usual presentation of foreign body (FB) aspiration into the tracheobronchial tree is a choking sensation followed by recurrent respiratory symptoms. Without definitive history, diagnosis FB can be challenging. Here, we present case 40-year-old male who presented with episodes blood-stained sputum over past six years. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography chest and serological investigations suggested allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. Video bronchoscopy was performed for hemoptysis...
Background: Chest radiography is often the most utilized and primary investigation for patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, however, only limited studies are available evaluating its essence. Therefore, we retrospectively analyzed various chest radiographic patterns in correlated severity index clinical laboratory parameters. Methods: In this retrospective study, radiographs of 512 diagnosed pneumonia were assessed, out which 289 satisfying inclusion exclusion criteria recruited study. The...
Tracheal stenosis following prolonged intubation is a relatively rare but serious problem. However, some degree of airway injury common intubation, no matter whether it or short duration. Here, we are reporting fifty six year old male patient who developed multiple web like tracheal with high volume low pressure cuff endotracheal tube. Subsequently, the was successfully dilated by balloon bronchoplasty.
Abstract Background The increasing trend of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in becoming the third leading cause deaths by 2020 is great concern, globally as well India. Dysregulation protease/anti-protease balance COPD has been reported to tissue destruction, inflammation and airway remodelling; which are peculiar characteristics COPD. Therefore, it imperative explore various serum proteases involved pathogenesis, candidate biomarkers. Asthma often have overlapping symptoms...
Extramedullary haematopoiesis associated with thalassaemia leading to spinal cord compression is an extremely rare event in the course of disease. The efficacy radiation therapy advocated management such a complication. Two patients thalassaemia, who had presented compression, were successfully treated by modest dose local radiotherapy. In one patients, however, radiotherapy was resorted after initial decompressive laminectomy and partial removal intraspinal haematopoietic mass proved...
INTRODUCTION COVID-19 vaccination was launched in India on January 16, 2021. The for adults aged >60 years with or without comorbidities and 45−60 specified rolled out from March 1, Two vaccines—Covishield® Covaxin®, were only available during this period; however, the effects of partial immunization survival hospitalized patients not much known at that time. From end 2021, a sudden surge cases (second pandemic) noted across different parts India. This second pandemic probably due to highly...
Abstract The present study investigated two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)—rs479200 and rs516651 in the host EGLN1 / PHD2 gene for their association with COVID-19 severity. A retrospective cohort of 158 patients from Indian population (March 2020 to June 2021) was enrolled. Notably, frequency C allele (0.664) twofold higher than T (0.336) severe patients. Here, we report a novel finding that rs479200 imparts high risk (odds ratio—6.214 (1.84–20.99) p = 0.003; 9.421 (2.019–43.957)...
The quality of sleep in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patient from India has not been studied. Aim this study was evaluation subjective assessment stable COPD patients and its relationship with associated depression.Forty clinically were recruited outpatient department their status classified as per Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease guideline. Presence depression assessed by administering Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 measured Pittsburgh Sleep...
Lidocaine is commonly used for topical anaesthesia during fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) and it can cause methaemoglobinemia. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the severity of post-bronchoscopy methaemoglobinemia while using lidocaine as a anaesthetic agent.We prospectively studied consecutive adult patients who underwent diagnostic FOB in our institution. Blood methaemoglobin levels were estimated by co-oximetry before one hour after first instillation lidocaine. Occurrence...
Bronchoscopy is usually performed under sedation to improve patient comfort and willingness accept a repeat procedure. with low dose of does not necessarily comfort, overt may be dangerous for those preexisting lung diseases.The aim this study was evaluate the visual analogue scale cough, pain, nausea, choking sensation, overall discomfort level during flexible bronchoscopy without sedation. Acceptance requirement lidocaine procedure were also evaluated.We evaluated 70 consecutive patients...
Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is a major source of ambient in urban areas. Shopkeepers heavily trafficked roadside shops are persistently exposed to high levels TRAP.To estimate the prevalence respiratory morbidity shopkeepers areas Bhopal city (India) and determine any association with long term exposure TRAP.This cross-sectional study was conducted among 251 working three traffic corridors city. The demographic profile were collected by administering validated questionnaire. total...
Forced oscillation technique (FOT) is a to measure the mechanical properties of lung. The present study was aimed develop regression equations within- and whole-breath respiratory impedance (Zrs) healthy Indian adults.Total 323 adults were sequentially screened. Smokers, individuals with symptoms or diseases, unable perform acceptable FOT excluded. Within- resistance (Rrs) reactance (Xrs) measured at 5, 11, 19 Hz by Resmon Pro® Full device. Rrs Xrs generated separately for men women multiple...
Background The nucleocapsid protein (N protein) of SARS-CoV-2 is undeniably a potent target for the development diagnostic tools due to its abundant expression and lower immune evasion pressure compared spike (S) protein. Methods Blood samples active COVID-19 infections (n=71) post-COVID-19 (n=11) were collected from tertiary care hospital in India; pre-COVID-19 (n=12) sera served as controls. Real-time reverse transcriptase-PCR (rRT-PCR) confirmed pooled (n=5) used with PEPperCHIP® Proteome...
The involvement of respiratory system due to inhalation methyl isocyanate (MIC) during Bhopal gas disaster was particularly severe. We retrospectively evaluated the annual changes in spirometric parameters among those who were affected this (exposed survivors) and had symptoms.Spirometry reports exposed survivors that carried out our institution reviewed we identified 252 subjects performed spirometry at least twice with interval more than one year. indices them calculated.The average age...
