Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by dysfunction of the CFTR gene. It a multisystem disease that most often affects White individuals. In recent decades, various advances in diagnosis and treatment CF have drastically changed scenario, resulting significant increase survival quality life. Brazil, current neonatal screening program for has broad coverage, Brazilian states referral centers follow-up individuals with disease. Previously, was limited...
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a recognized complication of tuberculosis (TB). In 2015, the World Health Organization reported 2.2 million new cases nonbacteriologically confirmed TB; some these patients probably had undiagnosed CPA. October 2016, Global Action Fund for Fungal Infections convened an international expert panel to develop case definition CPA resource-constrained settings. This defined as illness >3 months and all following: 1) weight loss, persistent cough, and/or...
OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of HRCT findings and their distribution in lung parenchyma patients with organizing pneumonia. METHODS: This was a retrospective review scans 36 adult (26 females 10 males) biopsy-proven The were between 19 82 years age (mean age, 56.2 years). images evaluated by two independent observers, discordant interpretations being resolved consensus. RESULTS: most common finding that ground-glass opacities, which seen 88.9% cases. second consolidation (in 83.3%...
An increased ventilatory response to exertional metabolic demand (high [Formula: see text]e/[Formula: text]co2 relationship) is a common finding in patients with coexistent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart failure.We aimed determine the mechanisms underlying high its impact on operating lung volumes, dyspnea, exercise tolerance these patients.Twenty-two ex-smokers combined failure reduced left ventricular ejection fraction undertook, after careful treatment optimization,...
