Standardization of trans-bronchial lung cryobiopsy in diffuse parenchymal diseases is imminent; however, the majority published series on include a limited number patients and are characterized by several differences procedural technical details. This an observational, retrospective cohort study. Aim study was to suggest some sampling strategies related transbronchial diagnostic work-up with diseases. Six hundred ninety-nine suspected disease were recruited. A specific pathological diagnosis...
Summary The study aims at assessing the changes in electroencephalography (as measured by A‐phases of cyclic alternating pattern) and autonomic activity (based on pulse wave amplitude) recovery airway patency patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Analysis polysomnographic recordings from 20 male individuals syndrome was carried out total time, non‐rapid eye movement rapid sleep. Scoring quantified combined occurrence (time range 4 s before after respiratory recovery) or separate...
This study was carried out on 83 patients with alopecia areata. Ophthalmological examinations showed lens changes in 65 and alterations the retinal epithelium 28 patients. The relationships between pigment cells hair cycle are discussed.
The scoring of American Academy Sleep Medicine (AASM) arousal is mandatory for the definition respiratory event-related (RERA). However there are other EEG activation phenomena, such as A phases cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) which associated with events in non rapid eye movements (NREM) sleep. This study aims at quantifying additional value CAP and sleep alterations OSAS.Analysis polysomnographic recordings from nineteen OSAS patients was carried out. Scoring focused on investigation...
The use of mouse models in sleep apnea study is limited by the belief that central (CSA) but not obstructive apneas (OSA) occur rodents. We aimed to develop a protocol investigate presence OSAs wild-type mice and, then, apply it validated model Down syndrome (Ts65Dn), human pathology characterized high incidence OSAs.In pilot study, nine C57BL/6J were implanted with electrodes for electroencephalography (EEG), neck electromyography (nEMG), and diaphragmatic activity (DIA), then placed...
The gold standard for the diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is polysomnography, whose access however reduced by costs and limited availability, so that additional diagnostic tests are needed.To analyze accuracy Airway Adult Test (OAAT) compared to polysomnography OSA in adult patients.Ninety patients affected verified with (AHI ≥ 5) ten healthy patients, randomly selected, were included all interviewed one blind examiner OAAT questions.The Spearman rho, evaluated measure correlation...
In COVID-19 era, all forms of access patients to the sleep units should be reduced as much possible when implementing telemedicine. field obstructive apnea (OSA) therapy with positive airway pressure (PAP) devices, telemedicine includes use built-in software (BIS) and storage PAPs remote-controlled data (BISrc data) that are processed transmitted daily units. We compared two methods evaluating final residual severity OSA in home PAP titration: BISrc versus nocturnal portable multichannel...
Prognostic evaluation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) may be important as it can guide management decisions, but the potential role of honeycomb changes providing information about outcome and survival patients with IPF, particularly if diagnosed using cryobiopsy, has not been evaluated. Aim this study was to determinate whether a relationship exists between honeycombing on cryobiopsy clinical/radiological picture IPF assess same pathologic criteria that have used define UIP pattern...
Study Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of mildly collapsible upper airways (defined by therapeutic continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP] values ≤ 8 cm H 2 O) in moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea patients treated with CPAP and determine their clinical, functional, nocturnal polysomnographic characteristics.Methods: Eighty-seven consecutively were retrospectively investigated.Two home portable monitoring studies performed at baseline during treatment.Participants...
Background A subgroup of IPF patients can meet IPAF criteria (features suggesting an underlying autoimmune process without fulfilling established for a CTD). This study was aimed to evaluate whether IPAF/IPF compared differ in clinical profile, prognosis and disease course. Methods is retrospective, single center, case–control study. We evaluated 360 consecutive (Forlì Hospital, between 1/1/2002 28/12/2016) characteristics outcome IPF. Results Twenty-two (6%) met criteria. were more...
