Abstract Background Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immunologically induced inflammation of the lung parenchyma that occurs in susceptible individuals response to a variety antigens. Repeated exposures causative antigens lead chronic HP. The condition could be complicated with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Methodology 60 patients established diagnosis HP were included, clinical examination, high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) chest, arterial blood gases, six minute walking test...
Abstract Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are two diseases associated with an increased risk of cardio-metabolic complications both share the same factors such as obesity smoking. Objectives To study clinical features predictors MetS in OSA patients. Methodology A cross-sectional was conducted lab Pulmonology Department at Kasr Al-Ainy Hospital, Cairo University, during period from September 2022 to March 2023. Eighty patients were included, each patient...

Abstract Background We aimed to assess serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) concentrations in extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) patients and evaluate the effect of vitamin supplementation on their treatment course. Methods Serum 25(OH)D3concentrations were measured 47 newly diagnosed EPTB 42 controls. Vitamin D-deficient randomly assigned receive 50,000 IU (cholecalciferol) orally once a week for 6 weeks (total 300,000 IU), followed by maintenance doses 1000 day besides anti-TB drugs or...
Abstract Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an interstitial lung disease that develops after inhalation of a variety antigens in susceptible individuals. The nasal mucosa constantly exposed to these can irritate the respiratory mucosa. So, purpose this study was histopathological changes order identify any shared pathological between upper airways and well-known features HP. 40 HP patients diagnosed at Chest Department, Kasr Alainy hospital following ATS/JRS/ALAT guidelines were included....
Abstract Background Acute phase reactants (APR) are markers of inflammation that could be applied for the assessment community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) severity in association with various scores. So, aim study was to assess levels APR such as total leucocytic count (TLC), platelets, neutrophils, neutrophils-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), CRP, D-dimer, ferritin, and ESR patients CAP correlate between their values disease severity. Methodology The included 51 diagnosed non-COVID-19 (CAP)....
Abstract Background The co-existence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and sleep apnea (OSA) is known as overlap syndrome, both conditions share common risk factors are associated with co-morbidities poor outcomes. Methodology Sixty stable COPD patients were included in the study. We assessed body measurements, functions to diagnose assess severity, arterial blood gases, STOB-BANG questionnaire (SBQ), Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), polysomnography (PSG) for diagnosis...
