COPD and bronchiectasis are commonly reported together. Studies report varying impacts of co-diagnosis on outcomes, which may be related to different definitions disease used across studies.
Background International guidelines recommend airway clearance management as one of the important pillars bronchiectasis treatment. However, extent to which is used for people with in Europe unclear. The aim study was identify use patients across different countries and factors influencing use. Methods This a prospective observational using data from European Multicentre Bronchiectasis Audit Research Collaboration (EMBARC) Registry between January 2015 April 2022. Prespecified options were...
Asthma is commonly reported in patients with a diagnosis of bronchiectasis.
Background A validated 4-point sputum colour chart can be used to objectively evaluate the levels of airway inflammation in bronchiectasis patients. In European Bronchiectasis Registry (EMBARC), we tested whether would associated with disease severity and clinical outcomes. Methods We a prospective, observational registry adults conducted 31 countries. Patients who did not produce spontaneous were excluded from analysis. The Murray was at baseline follow-up visits. Key outcomes frequency...
Pulmonary exacerbations are a cause of significant morbidity in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and frequently used as an outcome measure clinical research into chronic lung diseases. So far, there has been no consensus on the definition pulmonary PCD. 30 multidisciplinary experts developed for children adults Following systematic review, panel modified Delphi process combination face-to-face meetings e-surveys to develop that can be settings A exacerbation was defined by...
Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as contribuições das metodologias ativas para a inclusão educacional, considerando seus desafios e sinergias. O problema de pesquisa foi: podem contribuir possíveis sinergias entre elas? A metodologia utilizada foi natureza bibliográfica, com abordagem qualitativa, consistindo na revisão análise estudos, artigos livros sobre o tema. revelou que ativas, ao promoverem participação ativa dos alunos no processo aprendizagem, têm mostrado um impacto...
In Brief BACKGROUND: Information regarding the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on function (PF), arterial blood gases (ABG), and 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) in patients with bronchiectasis is scant literature. METHODS: To evaluate PR these indices this population, a retrospective evaluation those who attended from 2007 to 2010, was made. Pulmonary lasted mean 12 weeks included cycle ergometer exercise for 30 minutes, 3 times per week, additional upper limbs quadriceps training....
Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as práticas pedagógicas inclusivas adotadas nas escolas para atender à diversidade de alunos, com foco nos desafios enfrentados pelos educadores e estratégias eficazes promover a inclusão. A pesquisa foi natureza qualitativa, abordagem bibliográfica, utilizando livros, artigos acadêmicos documentos normativos fontes dados. Foram analisados os conceitos centrais da educação inclusiva, metodologias empregadas obstáculos encontrados na implementação das...
Introduction Current bronchiectasis guidelines advise against the use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) except in patients with associated asthma, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to describe ICS across Europe. Methods Patients were enrolled into European Bronchiectasis Registry from 2015 2022. grouped users and non-users at baseline clinical characteristics investigated. followed up for outcomes exacerbation,...
Conventional lung auscultation is essential in the management of respiratory diseases. However, detecting adventitious sounds outside medical facilities remains challenging. We assessed feasibility using smartphone built-in microphone real-world clinical practice. recruited 134 patients (median[interquartile range] 16[11-22.25]y; 54% male; 31% cystic fibrosis, 29% other diseases, 28% asthma; 12% no diseases) at Pediatrics and Pulmonology departments a tertiary hospital. First, clinicians...
Bronchiectasis can result from many diseases, which makes the aetiological investigation a complex process demanding special resources and experience. The diagnosis has been proven to be useful for therapeutic approach. Evaluate how accurately extensive clinical research was adult bronchiectasis patients in pulmonology outpatient service were not following pre-existing protocol. We retrospectively reviewed records of 202 with bronchiectasis, including examinations performed explain...
The number of bronchiectasis diagnoses has increased in the last two decades due to several factors. Research carried out over years showed that an aetiological diagnosis could change approach and treatment a relevant percentage patients consequently prognosis. Currently, systematic investigation into aetiology, particularly those disorders can be subject specific treatment, is recommended. Given complexity diagnosis, Pulmonology Portuguese Society Bronchiectasis Study Group assembled...
Background Until the 1990s, blood screening, typing and diagnostics depended entirely on serological techniques. For over a century, agglutination has been gold standard for red cell (RBC) antigen detection used in all services. However, haemagglutination certain limitations, such as, difficulty to phenotype recently multi‐transfused patients or direct antiglobulin test (DAT)‐positive patients. The provides only indirect indications of risk severity haemolytic disease new born. In part,...
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) represents the gold standard genotyping method in studies concerning microbial population structure, being particularly helpful detection of clonal relatedness. However, its applicability on large-scale is limited due to high cost and time spent task. The selection most informative nucleotide positions simplifies genomic characterization bacteria. A simple multiplex, SNaPaer assay, was developed Pseudomonas aeruginosa obtained after a single reaction...
Existem dados na literatura sobre o uso das propriedades imunomoduladoras de alguns macrólidos no tratamento da pneumonia organizativa criptogénica (COP) como alternativa aos corticoesteróides doença ligeira ou adjuvantes terapêutica padrão. Os autores descrevem caso uma mulher 60 anos idade, com asma intrínseca controlada, que apresentou COP e exacerbações respiratórias repetição, apesar corticoterapia imunossupressora instituídas. Após início azitromicina (500 mg, dias alternados),...
A síndroma de apneia obstrutiva do sono é comum em crianças, podendo associar-se a graves complicações. polissonografia nocturna mantém-se como gold standard no diagnóstico desta patologia. Dada escassez laboratórios sono, nomeadamente com “perfil pediátrico”, têm-se vindo usar outras técnicas screening. O objectivo deste trabalho foi estudar rentabilidade dos estudos cárdio-respiratórios domiciliários realizados crianças. Desde Janeiro 1999 Junho 2003 foram 33 cardio-respiratórios Foram...
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disease in Caucasians. Although cases are diagnosed childhood, diagnosis adults apparently increasing.Evaluate adult population with CF, comparing patients who were before and after 18 years of age.Retrospective analysis followed three main medical centres Portugal 2012. Comparison two groups: G1 - at <18 G2 ≥18 years.89 identified: 61.8% G1, 38.2% G2. Gender distribution was similar both groups. Average age higher (38.3±8.4 vs....
