Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sensorimotor disorder causing significant distress and commonly seen in the primary care setting.This article outlines epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis management of RLS, with focus on setting.RLS clinical diagnosis, although mimics exist. Brain iron deficiency, dopaminergic dysfunction genetics underpin poorly understood pathophysiology this condition. After repleting stores, reviewing any exacerbating medications attending to...
Background Mucociliary clearance (MCC) is critical to lung health and impaired in many diseases. The path of MCC may have an important impact on but has never been rigorously studied. objective this study assess the three-dimensional human tracheal disease health. Methods Tracheal was imaged 12 ex-smokers, 3 non-smokers (1 opportunistically during acute influenza repeated after recovery) 5 individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Radiolabelled macroaggregated albumin droplets were...
Abstract Reduced carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DL CO ) is common after recovery from severe COVID‐19 pneumonitis. The extent to which this relates alveolar membrane dysfunction as opposed vascular injury uncertain. Simultaneous measurement of nitric oxide NO and DL can partition gas diffusion into its two components: alveolar–capillary conductance (D mCO capillary blood volume (V C ). We sought evaluate D V in the early later periods COVID‐19. Patients attended for post‐COVID‐19...
Liver disease develops in one‐third of patients with cystic fibrosis ( CF ). It is rare for liver to have its onset after 20 years age. Lung disease, however, usually more severe adulthood. A retrospective analysis was performed on nine patients. Three required lung transplantation approximately a decade transplant, and another underwent combined transplants. Four additional transplants are awaiting assessment One patient With increased survival , several may require than single organ...
Despite a population of 600,000 people from 900 islands, there is little published data on the prevalence lung disease in Solomon Islands. We sought to 1) estimate obstructive (OLD) Gizo, Islands, 2) identify risk factors for respiratory this and 3) review current management practices through an audit local emergency department (ED) presentations.
Management of recurrent haemoptysis poses a difficult clinical scenario. TISSEEL (Baxter Healthcare Corporation Deerfield, IL, USA) is fibrin sealant often used in surgery to aid control bleeding. However, when endoscopic independently, migration, dislodgement, or even expectoration the clot common complication that may lead recurrence haemoptysis. Here we describe two patients with context malignancy who underwent bronchoscopy, during which they were managed application topical bleeding...
Reduced carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) is common after recovery from severe COVID-19. The extent to which this relates membrane dysfunction Vs vascular injury uncertain. Concurrent measurement of nitric oxide (DLNO) and DLCO can partition gas into its two components, conductance (DmCO) capillary blood volume (V<sub>C</sub>). We sought evaluate DmCO V<sub>C</sub> in the early later periods <b>Methods:</b> Patients attended for post-COVID-19 clinical review lung function testing...
<b>Introduction:</b> The aetiology of central sleep apnea (CSA) remains incompletely understood. While proposed mechanisms exist for those with secondary causes, a complete understanding primary CSA lacking. Here we describe the characteristics patients in our centre and CSA, possible role arousal threshold. <b>Methods:</b> A retrospective study was conducted across undergoing full overnight diagnostic polysomnography (PSG) at Concord Repatriation General Hospital (CRGH) Sydney, Australia...
