Background/aim: Sonographic assessment of diaphragm structure and function would be a useful clinical tool in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our aim was to determine the muscle thickness usefulness practice COPD.Materials methods: The diaphragmatic 34 COPD healthy subjects measured during tidal volume (Tmin) deep inspiration (Tmax) on both sides using B-mode ultrasound. body mass index modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) values were reported.Results: There...
Organizing pneumonia is an important disease that associated with non-specific clinical findings and radiographic appearance. Our aim was to examine the radiological features, laboratory findings, diagnostic approach, response therapy in subjects cryptogenic (COP) secondary organizing (SOP).Patients' medical records were retrospectively reviewed between 2010 2016 our hospital. We analyzed symptoms, pulmonary function tests, data, bronchoalveolar lavage treatment, prognosis.Thirty-seven...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an important public health problem that manifests with exacerbations and causes serious mortality morbidity in both developed developing countries. COPD usually present to emergency departments, where these patients are diagnosed treated. Therefore, the Emergency Medicine Association of Turkey Turkish Thoracic Society jointly wanted implement a guideline evaluates management according current literature provides evidence-based recommendations....
Sarcoidosis is a systemic chronic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. It predominantly involves the lungs but can affect many organs or tissues in body, such as lymphatic system, skin, eyes, and liver. Typical histopathological lesions are noncaseating granulomas affected organ tissue. Indications, type treatment, duration sarcoidosis treatment currently debated. Despite studies showing that anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) successfully be used refractory sarcoidosis, there some...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex that associated with devastating outcomes resulting from lung involvement and several comorbidities. Comorbidities could impact on symptomology, quality of life, the complications, management, economic burden mortality disease. The importance comorbidities originates their outcome COPD. most frequent in COPD are cardiovascular, endocrinological, musculoskeletal, phycological disorders cancer. Almost 50% patients have 3 or more recent...
The aim of the study was to determine prevalence electrolyte and uric acid disturbances their effects on mortality in patients with acute exacerbations chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).This included all consecutive AECOPD who were managed at our Chest Diseases department between May 2017 December 2017. Medical records subjects reviewed, data collected retrospectively. Eighty-one 103 control group enrolled association COPD groups biochemical parameters without long-term oxygen...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that is the third leading cause of death in world one main economic burden. The cost primarily due to COPD exacerbations and hospitalizations. We aimed determine factors associated with increasing costs severe exacerbation. It was a multicenter prospective observational recording study. 294 patients who exacerbation were included An amount more than 429.58 euros accepted as (IC). Factors IC determined by regression analysis. Mean age 69.90 ±...
Organising pneumonia (OP) is not a well-known cause of increased 18 F-FDG uptake, and the relationship uptake to clinical parameters has been clearly identified. This study aims assess role positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) for diagnosis focal organised that may mimic malignity because mass-like lesions on radiological images it causes.Among 40 patients whom histopathological exams were consistent with OP, medical records 14 OP diagnosed surgical biopsy evaluated...
Incidental pulmonary nodule frequency in TurkeyIntroduction: Pulmonary nodules are common incidental findings on computed tomography (CT).In Turkey, there is no available data about the follow-up of nodules.Our aim to assess and size distrubition our country. Materials Methods:Between January 2015 December 2016, tomographies, taken all outpatient emergency department that recorded screening database were examined retrospectively.Nodules their characteristics (number, size, density,...
Upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) is characterized by repeated number of arousals at night, and excessive daytime sleepiness or somnolence (EDS). It often missed in classical polysomnographic diagnostic approaches misdiagnosed as simple snoring idiopathic hypersomnia, thereby left untreated. We propose that positive pressure (PAP), which has shown to be effective against UARS, can used a tool well. The study designed test whether patients with high titration pressures diagnosed for...
Trakeobronkopatia Osteokondroplastika (TO) trakea ve bronş submukozasında kemik kıkırdak nodüllerin varlığı ile karakterize, nadir görülen, benign bir durumdur.Hastalık daha çok 50 yaş üzeri erkeklerde görülür çoğu zaman asemptomatiktir.Bazı olgularda sık tekrarlayan enfeksiyonlar görülebilirken bazı bronşial aşırı duyarlılık veya hemoptizi izlenebilir.Bu olgu sunumunda TO teşhisi koyulan iki hastanın fiberoptik bronkoskopik (FOB), klinik radyolojik özellikleri tartışılmıştır.Yirmi yaşında...
Purpose: To compare the efficacy and toxicity of gemcitabine versus docetaxel in a second-line setting nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients previously treated with platin-based combination chemotherapy. Materials Methods: We retrospectively evaluated medical records 57 single agent or advanced NSCLC who received one prior platinum-based therapy. Results: The mean age was <TEX>$56.7{\pm}8.39$</TEX> years 55 (96.5%) males two (3.5%) females. Forty them 17 gemcitabine. number chemotherapy...
Pulmonology is one of the branches that frequently receive consultation requests from emergency department. (PC) requested almost all clinical due to diagnosis and treatment any respiratory condition, preoperative evaluation, or postoperative pulmonary problems. The aim our study was describe profile pulmonology consultations received departments in Turkiye. A total 32 centers Turkiye (the PuPCEST Study Group) were included study. demographic, clinical, laboratory radiological data consulted...
The first decision to be made in the case of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is whether hospitalization patient mandatory. In this study, we aimed investigate addition oxygenation parameters CURB-65 has diagnostic value predicting mortality CAP.A total 903 CAP patients were included study. Patients with a score 0 and 1 classified as Group 2 or more 2. prediction through Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI), CURBS-65/CURBP-65 SaO2 PaO2 values; hence four different models, was compared among all...
Exacerbation is an independent risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-related morbidity and mortality. Despite optimal care, there may be factors that lead to difficulties in managing exacerbations associated with prolongation of length hospital stay (LOS). This a multicenter prospective observational study COPD patients hospitalized exacerbations. Prolonged LOS was calculated according the 50th percentile defined as ≥ 9 days. Potentially predicting were stratified into...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently results in hospital readmission and contributes to increased morbidity mortality. This multicenter prospective study aimed identify factors that increase the risk of within 30 90 days severe COPD exacerbation. A total 415 patients admitted emergency department (ED) or general pulmonology ward after discharge due exacerbations from 13 tertiary centers Turkey were included. Of participants, 346 (83.4%) male 69 (16.6%) female, with an...
