Background and objectives The rapid extensive spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has become a major cause concern for healthcare profession. aim this study is to assess awareness disease related infection control practices among professionals students in Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Materials methods A total 1562 responders from Region completed questionnaire-based survey on awareness, knowledge, setting. questionnaire was adapted current interim guidance information workers published by US...
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...
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 Although beta‐blockers are recommended following myocardial infarction (MI), the benefits of long‐term treatment have not been established. The study's aim was to evaluate beta‐blocker efficacy by dose in 1‐year post‐MI survivors. Methods and Results OBTAIN (Outcomes Beta‐Blocker Therapy After Myocardial Infarction) registry included 7057 patients with acute MI, 6077 one‐year For this landmark analysis, status available 3004 analyzed use (binary) at 1 year after MI. Doses were...
Background and Objectives: Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD’s) are a heterogeneous collection of more than one distinct lung disorder which is grouped together owing to their clinical, radiographic, pathologic features they share in common. Connective tissue disease may be an underlying cause Disease, often patients not present with pre-existing diagnosis. The aim this study the clinical profile these including physiologic testing have better understanding CTD-ILD Indian scenario.
Background: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, profoundly impacts the lungs, leading to potential long-term consequences such as fibroproliferation and lung fibrosis. Aim Objective: To evaluate post-COVID indices, functional capacity, oxygen desaturation using spirometry, DLCO, six-minute walk test (6MWT) through rigorous examination of these parameters. Materials Methods: The study employed an observational design, investigating 1 – 3 months health status 70 hospitalized individuals in a Navi...
<title>Abstract</title> We report a case of patient with an endobronchial mass in the left main bronchus lung, presenting recurrent pneumonia and hemoptysis. Initial bronchoscopic investigations tissue biopsy had been non-specific, suggestive only fibroepithelial polyp. However, consideration nature patient’s symptoms over years, he was advised to undergo pneumonectomy. Tissue sent post-operatively revealed presence multiple upper lobe cavities fungal colonies caused by Aspergillosis,...
Background: The relationship between left-ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), mass index (LVMI), body (BMI), and their corresponding pulmonary function test parameters remains unknown. Methods: In this prospective observational study, we assessed the of subjects with LVH. severity airway obstruction was graded into five levels using FEV1% predicted value prevalence also correlated. Results: Our study included 289 [142 (49.1%) LVH 147 (50.8%) non-LVH]. mean age 56 ± 17.8 years. Sixty-two normal...
Squamous cell carcinoma of tongue is a common malignancy within the head and neck region, however, distant metastasis from carcinomas quite rare when it occurs, lymph nodes, lungs, liver. brain bone are known sites affected. Pleural involvement by squamous distinctly latent period between primary usually long. Detection these essential for staging management patient. We hereby describe case report 51year female diagnosed with right malignant pleural effusion arising tongue.
Background: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with increasing incidence in low- and middle-income countries. Early diagnosis timely intervention are critical for improved outcomes. This case series explores clinical presentation, diagnostic pathways, management challenges lung a peripheral healthcare setting. Methods: We analyzed ten cases histopathologically confirmed malignancies diagnosed over 12-month period at tertiary care center. Clinical...
The study aims to compare the changes in diaphragm chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients Indian population with help of ultrasound-guided examination. (1) Changes thickness during respiration( rule out muscle atrophy). (2) movement diaphragm(correlates strength and endurance fibres) . (3) Zone apposition(gives mechanical advantage diaphragm). (4) Correlation COPD severity by global initiative for lung (GOLD) staging.Forty-eight attending OPD DY Patil Hospital were recruited...
Endobronchial tuberculosis has a very varied presentation. Diagnosis is often challenging as typical radiological features are absent and sputum smear for acid-fast bacilli negative. However, detection essential it may lead to long-term sequelae such bronchial stenosis. Bronchoscopy useful investigation in cases. Our case rare manifestation of endobronchial mimicked malignancy.
A case of unilateral re-expansion pulmonary oedema in a chronic pneumothorax is presented.The patient had longstanding left-sided pneumothorax.Intercostal drainage tube was inserted following which the developed severe hypotension and respiratory failure.Chest radiograph (postero-anterior view) showed partial lung expansion with oedema.The responded to standard management fully re-expanded.[
We report a case of 24-year old male presented with cough and breathlessness diabetes mellitus diagnosed as bloom syndrome. He was product consanguineous marriage, having short stature, dolicocephaly, polydactyly, prominent nose telangiectasia face. The respiratory system examination revealed bilateral coarse crepitations wheezes the chest X-ray emphysema right middle zone inhomogenous opacity. Also, CT thorax cystic bronchiectasis bronchiolitis obliterans. Bloom's syndrome on basis clinical...
Objectives: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma are major concerns to health-care system. Improper inhaler device used (metered dose inhaler/dry powder inhaler) is one of the causes associated with inadequate control disease. This study was performed evaluate technique among patients investigate factors improper use whether age or gender poor technique. Materials Methods: A cross-sectional all who visited chest outpatient department COPD over a 6-month-period in tertiary...
Various guidelines are in place for management COVID-19 and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) pregnancy. However, to the best of our knowledge, there no significant PTB co-infection Pregnancy being an altered physiological state, use various drugs their outcomes altered. Here we present two cases pregnancy which were managed successfully.
<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...
Objective : To study the symptoms, pulse oximetric and spirometric parameters in smokers with respect to pack years know effects of smoking on lung function, adults, by measuring FEV 1 , FVC, /FVC, FEF 25-75 . Patients Methods The current was an observational cross sectional conducted a tertiary care hospital over period one year. 100 subjects more than 21 age, smokers, who had been for 2 or more, whether symptomatic asymptomatic were recruited.
