Rationale: COPD is associated with reduced life expectancy.Objectives: To determine the association between small airway pathology and long-term survival after lung volume reduction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) effect of corticosteroids on this pathology.Methods: Patients severe (GOLD-3) very (GOLD-4) (n = 101) were studied surgery. Respiratory symptoms, quality life, function, exercise tolerance, chest radiology, corticosteroid treatment status assessed preoperatively....

There is increasing interest in the objective measurement of physical activity chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients due to close relationship between level, health, disability and mortality. We aimed (a) determine validity reproducibility an monitor that integrates accelerometry with multiple physiologic sensors determination energy expenditure COPD subjects (b) document independent contribution additional measures improving true determination. Eight (4 male, FEV1 56.4 ±...
Low-dose colchicine reduces the risk of cardiovascular events after myocardial infarction (MI). The purpose this study was to assess effect post-MI on coronary plaque morphology in non-culprit segments by optical coherence tomography (OCT).
To evaluate the performance of Xpert Bladder Cancer Monitor (Xpert; Cepheid, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) test as a predictor tumour recurrence in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).Patients (n = 429) undergoing surveillance for NMIBC underwent Xpert, cytology, and UroVysion testing. Patients positive negative cystoscopy result (positive-negative [PN] group, n 66) control group double (negative results [NN] group) were followed 12 months (±90 days).Histology-confirmed...
Summary Objective Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic obesity characterized by hyperphagia, behavioural disturbance and intellectual disability. PWS appears to be associated with high incidence of sudden death, suspected cardiopulmonary in origin. We therefore sought provide an assessment cardiac vascular structure function patients PWS. Patients Nine genetically confirmed PWS, mean age 28 years, body mass index (BMI) 42 kg/m 2 , were compared nine age‐ gender‐matched lean controls....
BackgroundRecent neutral randomised clinical trials have created equipoise for treating obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) managing cardiovascular risk. The importance of defining the links between OSA and disease is needed with aim advancing robustness future trials. We aimed to define correlates characterise surrogate markers in patients acute coronary syndrome (ACS) OSA.MethodOverall, 66 diagnosed ACS were studied. Patients underwent an unattended polysomnogram after hospital discharge...
Objective To evaluate blue‐light flexible cystoscopy ( BLFC ) with hexaminolevulinate in the office surveillance of patients non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer a high risk recurrence by assessing its impact on pain, anxiety, subjective value test and patient willingness to pay. Materials Methods A prospective, multicentre, phase III study was conducted during which Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System PROMIS Anxiety, Pain ‘Was It Worth It’ questionnaires were administered...
Background Prednisolone is considered the cornerstone treatment for severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH). However, its use limited by increased risk of infection in an already immunocompromised patient population. Among patients with AH, there exists a group non-responders who do not benefit from prednisolone therapy. Day-4 Lille score widely employed prognostic model used to identify this non-responder subgroup. The present study evaluates ability inflammatory marker, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio...
Exhaled carbon monoxide and nitric oxide reflect allergic inflammation in asthma have clinical utility for monitoring disease severity. The effects of allergen challenge inflammatory versus non-inflammatory bronchoconstrictive stimuli on the exhalation kinetics these gases are unclear. aim this study is to compare contrast methacholine challenges exhaled levels a cohort adult subjects with atopic asthma. Eight underwent inhaled testing, nine five both tests. Additionally, seven healthy...
