Some patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) develop acute exacerbation (AE-IPF) leading to severe respiratory failure (ARF); despite conventional supportive therapy, the mortality rate remains extremely high. The aim of this study was assess how a treatment algorithm incorporating high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy affects short-term AE-IPF who ARF.A retrospective cohort analysis conducted.The consisted 17 admitted intensive care unit (RICU) for ARF managed using HFNC....
Pneumothorax (PNX) and pneumomediastinum (PNM) are potential complications of COVID-19, but their influence on patients' outcomes remains unclear. The aim the study was to assess incidence, risk factors, severe COVID-19 complicated with PNX/PNM.A retrospective multicenter case-control analysis conducted in patients admitted for respiratory failure intermediate care units Treviso area, Italy, from March 2020 April 2021. Clinical characteristics without PNX/PNM were compared.Among 1213...
SARS-CoV-2 may lead to a large spectrum of respiratory manifestations, including pulmonary sequelae. We conducted single-center longitudinal study survivors from severe COVID-19 cases who underwent chest CT during hospitalization (CTH). Three months after being discharged, these patients were evaluated by clinical examination, function tests and chest-CT scan (CTFU). Sixty-two enrolled. At follow-up, 27% complained exertional dyspnoea 12% cough. Dyspnoeic had lower forced expiratory flow...
Objectives: The real incidence of pneumomediastinum (PNM) in adult patients with severe acute asthma exacerbation continues to be unknown. current study aims investigate the occurrence PNM an population presenting a attack and evaluate risk factors associated its development. Methods: 45 consecutive subjects who were admitted our Division between January 1, 2015 December 31, 2016 for underwent diagnostic protocol including standard chest X-ray continuous monitoring arterial oxygen saturation...
This report describes the case of a 46-year-old non-smoker housewife. She presented to our attention having diagnosis "difficult asthma" from another center in previous two years. had no allergies and not been exposed an excessive amount noxious stimuli. Her chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnea on exertion with wheezing) remained uncontrolled despite maximal anti-asthmatic inhaled therapy. An HRCT scan was performed further investigate other pulmonary diseases that mimic asthma. It revealed...
<b>Background:</b> The clinical course of IPF is heterogeneous however it recognized that patients can have a slow (S) or rapid (R) progression the disease and R related to worse prognosis. <b>Aims:</b> By using HRCT alveolar score (AS) as an index inflammation interstitial (IS) fibrosis we wanted investigate: 1) If AS IS could differentiate S from at time close diagnosis; 2) behavior over time; 3)The relation FVC decline IS. <b>Methods:</b> 28 (17S, 11R) followed longitudinally with had...
<b>Background:</b> Long-term Tracheostomy Ventilation (TV) is utilized to prolong survival of individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Due the potential risk CO2 rebreathing and lack direct measurement Tidal Volume, use a passive exhalation port in this setting remains uncommon. <b>AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:</b> To investigate comparison an active valve for long-term TV ALS patients. <b>Methods:</b> Following tracheostomy progressive ventilatory failure, 20 consecutive, clinically...
<b>Introduction:</b> Mepolizumab is an anti-IL5 humanized antibody approved for severe eosinophilic uncontrolled asthma. Long term safety has been assessed in registration studies, but few data are available on patients with echinococcus hepatic cyst (EHC) or other comorbidities i.e. lung cancer requiring chemotherapy (CT). <b>Aim:</b> analysis of one-year treatment outcomes 30 Mepolizumab, including one patient known EHC and cyrrosis cisplatin-gemcitabine (stage IV adenocarcinoma )....
Convex probe-endobronchial ultrasound (CP-EBUS) has been proven to be safe and accurate for identifying malignancy granulomatous disease affecting the mediastinum hilum. CP-EBUS can used intraparenchymal lesions also shown efficacious. A subset of particularly suited are those completely surrounded by lung parenchyma, centrally located, typically close but without an airway leading directly them. We report a case transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) done from nodule size 11 mm in superior...
