Abstract Objective It was aimed to evaluate long‐term radiological changes in severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) patients, investigate pulmonary function, exercise capacities, and health‐related quality of life results. Methods Sixty‐five patients with COVID‐19 pneumonia were evaluated the sixth month after discharge from hospital. Spirometry, 6 min walking test (6MWT), short form scale (SF‐36) applied month. Chest computed tomography (CT) performed findings grouped according lung...

Background and Objectives: The relationship between psoriasis pulmonary comorbidities remains to be explained. Our main objective was investigate parenchymal alterations in outpatients with chest CT scans who did not exhibit symptoms, regardless of their course treatment or disease severity. Materials Methods: We examined function tests, laboratory data, SF-36 questionnaires from 270 consecutive patients underwent high-resolution computed tomography scans. Psoriasis duration, details,...

Findings from clinical studies in postmenopausal women with late initiation of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that test whether HRT protects cognitive functions are inconsistent. The aim this study was to investigate the effects on brain metabolite ratios when initiated early period (critical window).Proton magnetic resonance spectrometry (1H MRS) performed 4 regions 47 healthy (21 received HRT, 26 did not). subjects were aged between 45 and 65 years. duration ranged 1 12 years (mean: 6.3...

Aims: Uncontrolled asthma during pregnancy can lead to complications for both the mother and fetus. In this study; It was aimed evaluate follow-up treatment of pregnant women with asthma, their knowledge about triggers, use inhaler therapy, compliance pulmonologist controls asthma. Methods: 64 patients who applied our clinic between 01.01.2022 31.07.2022 were reviewed. Demographic (mean age, age groups, smoking history, comorbidities), recommended information, birth whether they used or not,...

The relationship between two diseases can be said by similar/ common risk factors and contraptions such as smoking, hypoxia, chronic systemic inflammation, advanced age, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, sympathetic activation. 12,13ue to the overlapping symptoms signs of COPD CVD, patients' complaints clinical findings are often attributed one disease, while other if any, ignored.For this reason, treatment management incomplete in some cases. 14Early evaluation initiation CVD...

Aims: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) that may develop after surgery are important causes of morbidity and mortality. PPCs cause a prolongation hospital stays an increase in hospitalization costs. The study aims to determine factors associated with predict surgical patients undergoing preoperative evaluation. Methods: A retrospective cohort was conducted at Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training Research Hospital using data from 200 referred for evaluation anesthesia clinics. This...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex inflammatory condition that primarily impairs respiration but can also affect hemostasis. This study aimed to determine differences in platelet-related parameters and eosinophil between COPD patients healthy controls.

Smoking is the major determinant of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A substantial proportion patients with COPD continue smoking although they have significant respiratory symptoms, exacerbation history and comorbidities. We aimed to find associated factors clinical features who maintain smoking.

Aims: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a term used to describe an acute lung infection that develops outside of hospital setting. Radiological sequelae may remain in certain part these patients affect their lives. We aimed investigate the frequency parenchymal lesions and influencing factors with community-acquired pneumonia. Methods: This retrospective study included diagnosed CAP. First, who were admitted chest diseases outpatient clinic for any reason treated diagnosis CAP emergency...

Aims: The definition for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is abnormalities of the or alveoli, that can cause respiratory symptoms. A significant number COPD patients have malnutrition. We aimed to demonstrate correlation between Control Nutritional Status (CONUT) score and severity disease, hospitalizations, emergency department visits due acute exacerbations COPD. Methods: Patients over 65 years age diagnosed with were included in this study. Smoking habits, systemic...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 virus) has been a major cause of significant morbidity and mortality. Acute kidney injury (AKI) seen in COVID-19-infected subjects, it frequently resulted an abnormal estimated glomerular filtration rate. Colchicine, immunomodulatory drug, was used several studies the early stages pandemic. Colchicine shown to prevent development renal failure patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). It also reported reduce fibrosis,...

In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the effect of motivational interviewing with a specific cohort smokers on smoking cessation. Furthermore, investigated influence medical conditions and individual traits efficacy for This prospective study was conducted who presented at pulmonology cardiology outpatient clinic. Routine tests, Fagerstöm nicotine dependence test, hospital-scale anxiety-depression test were performed. Smoking cessation interviews by pulmonologists. Patients evaluated end...

Sarcoidosis can affect every organ with varying frequency based on ethnicity, gender and age. We aimed to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) fatigue levels our sarcoidosis patients. However, second aim is determine whether patient or disease markers correlate assessment questionnaires.

Introduction: We aimed to investigate the effects of COVID-19 on patients 24 months after severe pneumonia. Methodology: Fifty-four with pneumonia were evaluated 24th month discharge from hospital. Spirometry and short form health-related quality life scale (SF-36) used. Chest computed tomography (chest-CT) was performed findings grouped according lung involvement. Results: Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) % values 19 (35.18%) forced vital capacity (FVC) 23 (42.54%) found lower...

Aims: Pneumonia is a clinically and radiologically detected inflammation of the lungs. Most pneumonia patients are community-acquired cases. Hemogram C-reactive protein (CRP) commonly used to support diagnosis follow-up treatment. Procalcitonin less accessible expensive. And use hemogram subparameters not very common. The aim this study was research relationship between procalcitonin, CRP, White Blood Cell count (WBC) in with CAP efficacy new hematologic rates differential diagnosis.
