Aim: To characterize and compare total lung capacity (TLC) measured by plethysmography with high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), to identify variables that predict the difference between two modalities. Methods: Fifty-nine consecutive patients referred for evaluation of COPD were retrospectively reviewed. Patients underwent full pulmonary function testing HRCT within 3 months. TLC was obtained as per American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society standards using custom...
Infection with the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has been associated a hypercoagulable state. Emerging data from China and Europe have consistently shown an increased incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE). We aimed to identify VTE early predictors at our high-volume tertiary care center.We performed retrospective cohort study 147 patients who had admitted Temple University Hospital disease 2019 (COVID-19) April 1, 2020 27, 2020. first identified (pulmonary...

Background: Chronic sputum production is a significant but variable complaint in COPD; its effect on symptom burden has not been comprehensively described. We sought to characterize the daily of chronic severe COPD and phenotype those with symptoms. Methods: studied 50 outpatients who used an electronic diary document peak expiratory flow (PEF) respiratory symptoms for up 2 years. A index was derived based complaints quantity, color, consistency, patients were divided into groups average...
