Bronchiectasis is a common but neglected chronic lung disease. Most epidemiological data are limited to cohorts from Europe and the USA, with few low-income middle-income countries. We therefore aimed describe characteristics, severity of disease, microbiology, treatment patients bronchiectasis in India.The Indian registry multicentre, prospective, observational cohort study. Adult (≥18 years) CT-confirmed were enrolled 31 centres across India. Patients due cystic fibrosis or traction...
Background Identifying risk factors for poor outcomes can help with stratification and targeting of treatment. Risk mortality exacerbations have been identified in bronchiectasis but almost exclusively studied European North American populations. This study investigated the outcome a large population patients enrolled India. Methods The Multicentre Bronchiectasis Audit Research Collaboration (EMBARC) Respiratory Network India (EMBARC-India) registry is prospective observational adults...
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major global health issue, necessitating effective treatment regimens primarily involving antitubercular drugs. First-line drugs are commonly used in combination with other medications treat TB. These essential for the of TB, contagious bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, can lead various skin reactions, which may range from mild severe. Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is rare and severe reaction characterised extensive...
A BSTRACT Introduction: Chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnoea, coughing, sputum production) associated with abnormalities of the airways (bronchitis, bronchiolitis) and/or alveoli (emphysema) that result in persistent, frequently progressive airflow obstruction are hallmarks COPD, a diverse lung illness. The current investigation aimed to establish clinical profile patients recently diagnosed COPD who present healthcare facility Vadodara. Materials and Methods: Department Respiratory...
Tuberculosis (TB) is a widespread disease, and in spite of timely diagnosis treatment it can permanently compromise lung function.To study the prevalence pulmonary impairment cured adult TB (PTB) patients.Adult PTB patients were included study; those with any other condition or disease affecting function excluded. After detailed history taking examination, all underwent chest X-ray (CXR) spirometry; 76 investigated for hypertension using electrocardiogram two-dimensional echocardiogram.A...
To evaluate the factors associated with mortality of a multicentric cohort hospitalized COVID-19 patients, 0-18 y old, from 42 centers across India.The National Clinical Registry for (NCRC) is an on-going prospective data collection platform enrolling patients diagnosed by real-time PCR or rapid antigen test. The are collected in prestructured e-capture forms. sociodemographic, clinical, laboratory, and hospital outcome 1st September 2020 to 20th February 2022 were analyzed.Of 1244 enrolled...
This study aims to describe the demographic and clinical profile ascertain determinants of outcome among hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) adult patients enrolled in National Clinical Registry for COVID-19 (NCRC).NCRC is an on-going data collection platform operational 42 hospitals across India. Data NCRC between 1st September 2020 26th October 2021 were examined.Analysis 29 509 hospitalized, [mean (SD) age: 51.1 (16.2) year; male: 18 752 (63.6%)] showed that 15 678 (53.1%)...
Among obstructive respiratory conditions asthma has been frequently affecting individuals from all age groups. Events that lead to an attack is interplay of multifactorial factors between host and the environment. Earlier evidences have indicated aeroallergens play a major role in pathogenesis needs further probing. To identify most common mites causing allergy its prevalence patients with bronchial using skin prick test. The study population included this were cases diagnosed as Bronchial...
Introduction.Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) affects a significant proportion of the population.There are many contributory aetiological factors common to (TB) and dermatological conditions.Aim.To study spectrum concurrent skin conditions in patients with PTB compare having other diseases.Methods.All admitted our Institute during period were included study.A comparable number departments constituted control group.All screened for diseases.Results.There 498 each group, matched age gender.There...
Introduction: The concept of asthma affecting the old age people has been universally denied in past. Therefore, rather than suspecting patients, it often gets misdiagnosed as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), leading to sub-optimal management disease. Considering fact that only one five life-long smokers ever develop COPD, we must not blindly diagnose elderly without going through clinical evaluation. Spirometry can be helpful differentiating asthma; however, demonstration small...
Abstract: Background: The correct inhalation technique is a crucial factor governing the efficiency of inhaled medication and critical in ensuring optimal conveyance to lungs. It imperative use inhaler properly have sufficient knowledge, so we conducted this study assess provide education on Inhaler techniques patients with respiratory disease. Materials Methods: A Cross-sectional interventional was at Department Respiratory Medicine, Dhiraj Hospital, Vadodara, from October 2019 March 2020....
<b>Introduction:</b> Bronchiectasis is a heterogeneous disease. Previous phenotyping of this disease has been based solely on 5 European databases which do not really account for the remaining world population. <b>Aims and Objectives:</b> This study looked at Indian EMBARC Registry to try identify discrete patient groups with different clinical biological characteristics. <b>Methodology:</b> Principal component cluster analyses were performed using demographics, co-morbidities, clinical,...
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a type of carcinoma which usually begins with lymph nodes. Pathogenesis pleural fluid formation and reabsorption also associated pulmonary lymphatic system. Usually effusions are encountered as complications due to infective aetiologies non-infective causes. Pleural in system pathogenesis. Authors present here case report patient who presented left sided severe chest pain investigated have recurrent effusion, different clinico-radiological presentations....
Pulmonary Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease, mostly seen in women of reproductive age group. Most common presentation dyspnoea on exertion, may be associated with haemoptysis and chest pain. LAM cystic lung poor prognosis difficult to treat. In this case reports, we discussed two patients who presented pain due pneumothorax were later diagnosed as clinical radiological basis. Intercostal Chest tube Drainage (ICD) was inserted for resolution subsequently pleurodesis done...
Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) or diffuse parenchymal (DPLDs) are a group of that is distinguished by subacute chronic inflammation and/or fibrosis. Family history currently being considered one the biggest risk factors for ILD. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) systemic autoimmune disease has lungs as its most common extraarticular organ involved. associated with it major causes mortality along severe disability. Lung involvement in RA might appear ILD, pleural effusion, pulmonary vasculitis. In...
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is heterogeneous lung condition presenting with chronic respiratory symptoms. Pathogenesis of the process includes exposure to noxious particles and gases starting accelerated inflammation. Individual genetic make-up environmental factors play role in process. COPD shows persistent airflow limitation affecting airways alveoli. They can be affected individually or at same time. Hence, each patient experiences as a different amalgamation...
