Background and Objectives: The current study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Lung Imaging Reporting Data System (Lung-RADS) Version 2022 British Thoracic Society (BTS) guidelines in differentiating lung metastases from de novo primary cancer on CT scans patients without prior diagnosis. Materials Methods: This retrospective included 196 who underwent chest between 2015 a known history but with detected pulmonary nodules. images characterized nodules based size, number, location,...
The aftermath of severe COVID-19 frequently involves considerable cardiopulmonary damage, necessitating rehabilitation. This study aimed to evaluate the impact on health and assess effectiveness various rehabilitative interventions. Conducted between September 2021 2022, this prospective included patients who had been diagnosed with admitted at "Victor Babes" Infectious Diseases Pulmonology Hospital, Timisoara, Romania. were stratified into low- high-intensity rehabilitation groups....
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an increasingly frequent disorder that likely to become the third leading cause of morbidity worldwide. It significantly degrades quality life patients affected and poses a significant financial burden healthcare systems providing treatment rehabilitation. Consequently, our study’s purpose was compare conventional inpatient rehabilitation (PR) with virtual (online) PR using mobile phone application. During three-month period, two groups...
This multicenter, cross-sectional study investigates the potential correlation between development of bronchiectasis after lung resection surgery and health-related quality life (HRQoL) patients. The aims to provide new insights into long-term outcomes patients post-lung surgery. includes adult who underwent for suspicious nodules developed within a follow-up period six months. Bronchiectasis was confirmed by high-resolution computed tomography scans. patient’s (HRQoL), anxiety, depression,...
Background and Objectives: With an increasing number of severe COVID-19 cases presenting with secondary fungal infections, this study aimed to determine the prevalence co-infections in patients across six waves, identify most common pathogens associated COVID-19, explore any potential links between patient characteristics, therapeutic strategies, type infection. Materials Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on admitted Infectious Diseases Pulmonology Hospital, “Victor Babes”,...
Pediatric seizure disorders profoundly impact family dynamics, often escalating stress and impairing coping mechanisms. This study aimed to longitudinally assess the of pediatric seizures on coping, evaluating efficacy multidisciplinary follow-up care in enhancing psychological resilience adaptation. A longitudinal design was implemented, enrolling children aged 1-18 who presented with a first received neurologist's diagnosis at Emergency Clinical Hospital for Children "Louis Turcanu,"...
The COVID-19 pandemic underscores the need for accurate prognostic tools to predict patient outcomes. This study evaluates effectiveness of four prominent prediction scores-PAINT, ISARIC4C, CHIS, and COVID-GRAM-at two critical time points: at admission seven days post-symptom onset, assess their utility in predicting mortality among hospitalized patients. Conducted Clinical Emergency Hospital Pius Brînzeu Timișoara, this retrospective analysis included adult patients with confirmed...
The purpose of this study was to implement a respiratory muscle training program through mobile phone application for COPD patients with severe airflow limitation.We conducted an experimental determine the efficacy six-month application. At least three times week six months would participate in online session. We evaluated lung volumes, maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure (MIP/MEP) diaphragm amplitude. tests were performed at beginning end study.Thirty-four COPD, aged between 44 67...
Background and Objectives: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative blood transfusions in correcting anemia for pediatric patients with congenital malformations (CMs) versus those acute abdomen (AA) conditions. The hypothesized that response might vary significantly between these groups due differences underlying pathology clinical status. Methods: included 107 admitted Timisoara ‘Louis Turcanu’ Emergency Hospital Children January 2015 May 2023, who required...
Pulmonary fibrosis detected during the acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection may significantly influence patient prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate prognostic value initial high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings pulmonary in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and examine how these relate disease severity clinical outcomes, with a particular focus on development validation predictive scoring systems. In this multicentric prospective cohort from January 2023 2024, 120 adult...
Background and Objectives: Pulmonary resections are critical interventions for treating various lung pathologies, both benign malignant. Understanding the impact of these surgeries on patients’ Quality Life (QoL) is essential optimizing care. This study aims to compare Health-Related (HRQoL) psychological well-being in patients who underwent pulmonary versus malignant etiologies. Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted involving 117 resection between January 2022 June 2023. Participants...
Lung cancer screening is critical for early detection and management, particularly through the use of computed tomography (CT). This study aims to compare Imaging Reporting Data System (Lung-RADS) Version 2022 with British Thoracic Society (BTS) guidelines in classifying solid pulmonary nodules detected at lung CT examinations. retrospective included 224 patients who underwent between 2016 had a reported nodule. A fellowship-trained thoracic radiologist reviewed images, characterizing by...
Diverticular disease is a common gastrointestinal disorder with increasing prevalence in advanced age. This study aimed to investigate the impact of age and complexity diverticulitis on health-related quality life (HRQoL) stress-related disorders. A cross-sectional was conducted 180 patients, including adults (18-64 years) complicated diverticular disease, elderly (≥65 control group uncomplicated symptomatic disease. HRQoL disorders were assessed using SF-36, GIQLI, HADS, PHQ-9...
COPD has multiple extrapulmonary manifestations and the latest studies have focused on cognitive dysfunction effects sleep quality. The purpose of this study is to assess if there a relationship between quality decline in patients with severe airflow limitation.We performed an observational determine link function included were divided into two groups: group control group. We evaluated lung volumes, function, disease impact life.Most presented mild impairment (MCI) (95.7%), compared only...
