Introduction: Pulmonary fibrosis includes a spectrum of diseases and is incurable. There variation in disease course, but it often progressive leading to increased breathlessness, impaired quality life, decreased life expectancy. Detection pulmonary challenging, which contributes considerable delays diagnosis treatment. More knowledge about the diagnostic journey from patients' perspective needed improve pathway. The aims this study were evaluate time fibrosis, identify potential reasons for...
Background: Multiple animal antigens, spores and pollens were collected identified from the Kuwaiti atmosphere.The role for these antigens in mediating allergic rhinitis residents needs to be evaluated.Objective: To investigate causes (both indoors outdoors) of residents.Method: This is a retrospective study all positive skin tests that we obtained our Allergy clinic Mubarak Alkabeer Hospital Kuwait, during period between May 2013 December 2015, patients who presented with symptoms and/or...
Background . Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) prevalence in Canada has risen over time. COPD-related exacerbations contribute to the increased health care utilization (HCU) this population. This study investigated impact of on HCU. Methods retrospective observational cohort used patient data from Québec provincial insurance databases. Eligible patients with a new HCU claim diagnostic billing for COPD during 2001–2010 were followed until March 31, 2011. Exacerbation rates and time...
Severe asthma is a serious condition with significant burden on patients' morbidity, mortality, and quality of life. Some biological therapies targeting the IgE interleukin-5 (IL5) mediated pathways are now available. Due to lack direct comparison studies, choice which medication use varies. We aimed explore beliefs practices in severe asthma, hypothesizing that differences will occur depending prescribers' specialty experience.We conducted an online survey composed 35 questions English. The...
<b>Background:</b> Air pollution can be a contributing cause to the development and exacerbation of number chronic conditions, including respiratory, cardiovascular, neurologic endocrine diseases. There is paucity knowledge about acute effects air on emergency services workload related air-pollution in Bulgaria9s capital Sofia. <b>Methods:</b> We conducted retrospective time-series study investigate correlation particulate (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter < 10 µm [PM10]...
To describe the healthcare burden associated with not escalating patients COPD managed LAMA or LABA monotherapy LAMA/LABA dual therapy to ICS/LAMA/LABA following a moderate severe exacerbation. This observational study utilised medical claims from Quebec Provincial Health Insurance administrative database. Included were ≥40 years of age an incident diagnosis (during 2002–2011) receiving respiratory medicine within 2 weeks claim and treated LAMA, without preceding Multivariate-adjusted...
Abstract We present a clinical case of patient with reactivation SARS-CoV-2 infection after strenuous exercise in the gym. Reactivation virus was confirmed detecting nasopharyngeal swab sample using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The symptoms – fever and shortness breath, as well presence IgM antibodies further diagnosis. subjective complaints persistent breath for more than few weeks were noted.
In modern cities, poor air quality has contributed to replacing motorized cars with active modes of transportation such as cycling.However, when designing and building bike infrastructure, officials neglect consider concerns connected cyclists, most cycling lanes are developed next heavy-traffic roadways.This poses additional health risks due their increased ventilation rate.To preserve a sustainable life for city's residents, it's critical understand how detect quantify PM exposure,...
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is associated with reduction in vital capacity (VC) and increase expiratory flow rates, including peak (PEF). Full pulmonary function testing computed tomography chest scans are limited resources some geographic areas a simple sensitive screening test would be of value. We hypothesized that the ratio % predicted PEF over VC (%PEF/%VC), from spirometry alone might to screen for fibrosis.The %PEF/%VC 1,000 consecutive spirometric volume curves was nearly normally...
Abstract: Tracheal stenosis (TS), tracheomalacia, and tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF) are life-threatening complications, most often caused by long-term mechanical ventilation. We describe a 45-year-old man with combined thoracoabdominal trauma who developed symptoms of TEF TS after 20-day period The diagnostic therapeutic modalities used discussed. Periodic endoscopic inspection the airways all ventilatior patients have tracheostomies may help to prevent and/or detect these complications.
