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...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major public health problem in India. Although several International guidelines for diagnosis and management of COPD are available, yet there lot gaps recognition India due to vast differences availability affordability healthcare facilities across the country. The Indian Chest Society (ICS) National College Physicians (NCCP) have joined hands come out with these evidence-based help physicians at all levels diagnose manage scientific manner....
Flexible bronchoscopy (FB) is commonly performed by respiratory physicians for diagnostic as well therapeutic purposes. However, practices vary widely across India and worldwide. The three major organizations of the country supported a national-level expert group that formulated comprehensive guideline document FB based on detailed appraisal available evidence. These guidelines are an attempt to provide bronchoscopist with most scientifically sound practical approach bronchoscopy. It...
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...
Background: Bronchoscopic lung cryobiopsy (BLC) is a novel technique for obtaining tissue the diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal diseases. The procedure performed using several different variations technique, resulting in an inconsistent diagnostic yield and variable risk complications. There unmet need standardization technical aspects BLC. Methodology: This position statement framed by group comprising experts from fields pulmonary medicine, thoracic surgery, pathology, radiology under aegis...
Silicone rubber tissue expanders and breast implants are associated with chronic inflammation, leading to the formation of fibrous capsules. If inflammation is left untreated, capsules can become hard brittle lead capsular contracture. When contracture occurs, implant failure reoperation unavoidable. Fibrous capsule medical grade silicone polyisobutylene-based electrospun fiber mats attached without an anti-inflammatory therapeutic were compared. A linear polyisobutylene (PIB)-based...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, most commonly caused by tobacco smoking, is increasingly reported in nonsmoking patients exposed to domestic combustion of biomass fuels. This particularly common among rural women the low- and middle-income countries. It highly likely that disease these a different clinical phenotype.This manuscript covers epidemiological aspects biomass-exposed COPD also dwells upon its phenotypic characteristics.Chronic biomass-exposed, nonsmoker which predominantly...
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is common among non-smokers exposed to solid fuel combustion at home. Different clinical characteristics in these patients may have significant therapeutic and prognostic implications.METHODS: We used medical record review a questionnaire COPD 15 centres across India capture data on demographic details, different types of exposures characteristics. Chest radiography function testing were performed all 1984 cases; C-reactive protein...
This pandemic, COVID-19 caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has not only devastated public health, but also posed an immense impact on societal, economical, and geopolitical conditions. The severe stress essential health services adversely affected prevalence, recognition, management of non-COVID diseases. In particular, respiratory diseases suffered most because clinical similarities between flu, allergies, pneumonias, failure. Because these similarities, some patients tend to avoid...
An abnormal communication between the bronchus and pleural cavity is known as a bronchopleural fistula (BPF). The incidence of postoperative BPF ranges from 1.5% to 28%, responsible for considerable morbidity mortality. Various modalities have been used treatment including surgery endobronchial occlusion devices. scope therapy limited in developing countries because cost constraints lack availability different A novel method closure using customized spigot cyanoacrylate glue described.
Little data exist on antifibrotic drugs for treating symptomatic patients with persistent interstitial lung abnormalities in the postacute phase of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Herein, we describe physician practices prescribing pirfenidone and nintedanib these physician-assessed response.This was a multicenter, retrospective survey study subjects administered or post-COVID-19 abnormalities. Data demographic details, comorbidities, computed tomography (CT) chest, treatment, drug use,...
The explosion of information, misinformation and disinformation (the "infodemic") related to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on digital social media is reported affect mental health quality life. However, reports assessing COVID-19 infodemic health-related life (HRQL) in patients with chronic diseases are scarce. In this study, we investigated associations between HRQL uninfected individuals pre-existing respiratory (CRDs) such as asthma, obstructive pulmonary (COPD) other...
A new polyisobutylene-based thermoplastic elastomer, poly(alloocimene-b-isobutylene-b-alloocimene triblock copolymer was synthesized by carbocationic polymerization, then electrospun into free-standing rubbery fiber mats adding 20 wt%. poly(ethylene glycol) to the solution. Although AIBA is a highly hydrophobic material that non-polar and therefore has high electric resistivity, were still successfully obtained. We found fully embedded fibers. The tensile strength measured on microdumbbells...
Background.Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a specific type of chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) that progressive in course.Although evidence-based guidelines for IPF are available, these difficult to interpret the average physician and may not be suitable use resource-constrained settings.There was an unmet need formulate pragmatic, easy understand suited application resource-limited settings.Methods.This statement made by group expert pulmonologists.Twenty-five...
<b>Background:</b> The Indian Bronchiectasis registry is an extension of EMBARC Registry started in 2015 by Respiratory Research Network India to get better insights into its demographics, aetiology, co-morbidities and treatment practices India. <b>Methods:</b> 18 investigator sites the RRNI across completed a web-based case report comprising demographic details, risk factors, HRCT, spirometry treatment. <b>Results:</b> 964 patients non-CF bronchiectasis were enrolled this registry, which...
