Incidence and Risk Factors of Steroid-induced Diabetes in Patients with Respiratory DiseaseGlucocorticoids are effective for treating several respiratory diseases.However, they can cause hyperglycemia.This study determined the incidence risk factors steroidinduced diabetes mellitus (S-DM) patients treated glucocorticoid diseases.A retrospective examined diseases a prednisolone-equivalent dose exceeding 20 mg/day at least 4 weeks between January 2003 December 2008.Patients whose initial...
Background/Aims Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) have increased morbidity a high risk of treatment failure or recurrence. It is important to manage both diseases simultaneously. Among anti-diabetic drugs, metformin inhibits intracellular growth mycobacteria. Therefore, we examined the effects on TB treatment, especially in patients DM. Methods This retrospective cohort study included culture-positive pulmonary diagnosed between 2011 2012. The primary outcome was...
To identify differences in the clinical, radiologic, and microbiologic features of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) young (<64 yr) elderly (> or =65 yr), we performed a retrospective analysis medical charts chest radiographs 207 119 TB patients. Hemoptysis febrile sense were more frequent young, whereas weakness, dyspnea, anorexia, mental change elderly. Elderly patients showed higher frequencies cardiovascular chronic lung diseases, proportion underlying liver disease. In addition, radiography...
The effects of malnutrition on outcomes in miliary tuberculosis (MTB) are not well described. aim the present study was to find predictors for development acute respiratory failure (ARF) and survival MTB patients, focusing parameters reflecting nutritional condition. Out patients from three hospitals who had microbiologically or histopathologically confirmed tuberculosis, 56 presenting with typical disseminated pulmonary nodules radiographs were retrospectively enrolled. A four-point risk...
BACKGROUND Healthcare workers' mobile phones are easily contaminated with pathogenic bacteria and could be vehicles of transmission. Smart increasingly used in the hospital. The objective this study was to compare contamination rate potential between smart non‐smart phones. METHODS We screened healthcare workers three teaching hospitals South Korea. identification cultivated micro‐organisms assessment antibiotic susceptibility were performed. RESULTS One hundred fifteen (56.7%) participants...
<b>Aim:</b> To determine the ocular haemodynamic response to gas perturbations in glaucoma. <b>Methods:</b> Intraocular pressure (IOP), systemic systolic and diastolic blood (SBP DBP), retrobulbar flow velocities, measured by colour Doppler imaging (CDI), were recorded at two visits. CDI was used measure peak end velocities (PSV EDV) resistance index (RI) ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal (CRA), short posterior ciliary arteries (SPCAs). At first visit, measurements taken baseline (B1:...
More than skin-deep: Synthetic skin-permeable antigens are constructed by conjugation of the cell-penetrating low-molecular-weight protamine (LMWP) peptide to protein through cleavable disulfide bonds. Such artificial can penetrate stratum corneum barrier (see picture), thereby sensitizing skin immune system elicit robust responses. Detailed facts importance specialist readers published as "Supporting Information". documents peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited or typeset. They made available...
The impact on patient mortality of combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) compared with alone has never been investigated.To elucidate whether CPFE an overall over that alone.We screened patients who underwent chest computed tomography (CT) scans during the period from 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2005 in a tertiary referral hospital. Patients had both fibrosis, thus meeting inclusion criteria, were defined as CPFE. Controls matched for age, sex date CT scan randomly selected. Cox...
The hallmark of COPD is chronic airway inflammation, which may be mediated by renin-angiotensin system. system blockers such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II receptor (ARBs) have exhibited anti-inflammatory immunomodulatory effects in patients with various diseases. We explored the ACEi ARBs on risk pneumonia COPD.A nested case-control study was performed recruited from January 2010 to August 2013 two referral hospitals Korea. A total 130 admitted were...
Endobronchial tuberculosis (EBTB) causes problems in both making a diagnosis and following up the endobronchial lesion, because lesion is not evident simple chest radiograph. Frequently, follow of EBTB during treatment mainly depend on bronchoscopy. Chest computed tomography (CT) pulmonary function test (PFT) have also been used evaluating differentiating it from other diseases. Primary purpose present study was to observe change determine optimal time indication follow-up We evaluate...
