Importance The potential benefits of P2Y12 inhibitor deescalation for acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention may be influenced by body mass index (BMI). Objectives To investigate the association BMI on outcomes 12 months in patients with who were initially treated aspirin plus ticagrelor 1 month, and to assess whether BMI-based switching from (active control strategy) clopidogrel (deescalation is associated individualized benefits. Design, Setting, Participants...
The prognosis of RA-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) is difficult to predict because the variable clinical course. This study aimed determine prognostic value an automated quantification system (AQS) in RA-ILD.We retrospectively analysed data and high-resolution CT (HRCT) images 144 patients with RA-ILD. Quantitative fibrosis (QLF, sum reticulation traction bronchiectasis) ILD [QILD; QLF, honeycombing (QHC), ground-glass opacity (QGG)] scores were measured using AQS.The mean age...
Despite the importance of recognizing interstitial lung abnormalities, screening methods using computer-based quantitative analysis are not well developed, and studies on subject with an Asian population rare. We aimed to identify prevalence progression rate abnormality evaluated by automated quantification system in Korean population. A total 2,890 healthy participants a health program (mean age: 49 years, men: 79.5%) serial chest computed tomography images obtained at least 5 years apart...
Connective tissue disease (CTD) comprising a various range of autoimmune disorders is often accompanied by lung involvement, which can lead to life-threatening complications.The main types CTDs that present as interstitial (ILD) include rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, Sjögren's syndrome, mixed connective disease, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, and lupus erythematosus.CTD-ILD poses significant challenge in clinical diagnosis management due its heterogeneous nature variable...
Background: Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an effective alternative to center-based PR. However, not all participants exhibit sufficient therapeutic improvement, highlighting the need identify appropriate candidates maximize cost-effectiveness. This study aimed factors associated with favorable outcomes in home-based PR, focusing on role of digital therapeutics (DTx). Methods: secondary analysis used data from a randomized controlled trial. Participants chronic respiratory...
Airway inflammation is believed to play a crucial role in the development and progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, no study has yet employed quantified imaging biomarkers assess airway patients with NSCLC. This aimed validate hypothesis that more pronounced large cohort NSCLC compared controls, using derived from fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) positron emission tomography (PET), as well explore their associations clinical parameters. We retrospectively...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Pulmonary rehabilitation, a non-pharmacological treatment for chronic respiratory diseases (CRD), is underutilized due to limited access and time constraints. In randomized controlled trial, the digital therapeutic (DTx) EASYBREATH showed superior efficacy standard treatment. However, evidence on cost-effectiveness of DTx appropriate pricing strategies remains limited. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> This study aimed assess through cost-utility analysis...
Importance Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant risk factor for both ischemic and bleeding complications following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Optimizing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) essential improving clinical outcomes. Objective To evaluate whether an 11-month, unguided deescalation strategy from ticagrelor to clopidogrel was associated with reduced without increase in events stabilized patients CKD after AMI. Design, Setting,...
Primary pulmonary meningioma (PPM) is a very rare and mostly benign disease. Although PPM incidentally detected as solitary nodule on X-ray or chest computed tomography, it does not have unique radiological characteristics; thus, difficult to differentiate from other lung tumors. A healthy 54-year-old man visited our hospital because of multiple variable-sized nodules. He had no contributive medical history abnormality that was suggestive extrapulmonary malignancy. Video-assisted...
Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB)-guided transbronchial dye marking and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is an emerging technique that enables successful resection of multiple small subsolid pulmonary nodules. The aim this study was to evaluate the accuracy safety preoperative ENB-guided localization for VATS nodules.As a single-center pilot study, we recruited patients with at least two or Multiple-dye performed by intraoperative injection indigo carmine dye....
Variable clinical courses make it challenging to predict mortality resulting from fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). This study evaluated the usefulness of radiologic parameters for predicting in patients with HP. Clinical data and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images, which were scored reticulation, honeycombing, ground glass opacity (GGO), consolidation, mosaic attenuation (MA) by visual assessment, retrospectively analyzed a total 101 HP (all biopsy-proven cases)....
Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is a useful method to obtain tissue for peripheral lung nodules. We aimed understand the diagnostic yield and safety profile in high-risk pulmonary nodules that cannot be accessed by percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy.In this single-center retrospective study, we reviewed patients who underwent ENB All procedures were performed under moderate sedation using intravenous midazolam fentanyl.A total of 100 90 subjected between October 2018 May...
Abstract Background Dysregulation of lipid metabolism is implicated in the pathogenesis idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, association between blood profiles and prognosis IPF not well defined. We aimed to identify impacts on patients with IPF. Methods Clinical data 371 (145 226 derivation validation cohorts, respectively), including serum (total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein low-density apolipoprotein A-I [Apo A-I], B), were retrospectively collected. The...
Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is an emerging technique used to evaluate peripheral lung lesions. The aim of this study was determine the diagnostic yield, safety profile, and adequacy specimens obtained using ENB for molecular testing. This single-center, prospective pilot recruited patients with pulmonary nodules that were not suitable biopsy via percutaneous transthoracic needle methods. possibility testing, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic...
Objectives To evaluate the effect of eradication Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) on recurrence benign gastric ulcer(BGU) in patients with BGU Methods This study was performed for 40 H. pylori-positive cured and pylori eradicated, 25 patients(non-eradicated group) who were not treated regimen or eradicated. Four different methods – CLOtest, microscopy Gram stained mucosal smear, culture histology modified Giemsa staining - taken identifying colonization before treatment, 4 weeks after...
Abstract The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance viscoelastic dampers (VEDs) practically used for enhancing serviceability a 46‐story reinforced concrete residential building structure. Considering that bracing system installation VEDs not appropriate because it occupies large interior space, method installing at midspan horizontal beam connecting core and exterior columns proposed. These control total structural response in similar way general outrigger system. results from...
The aim of the present study was to investigate interaction nutritional status, N-terminal probrain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and ventricular remodeling in hemodialysis patients.NT-proBNP measured by immunoassay. Nutritional status assessed using subjective global assessment (SGA) malnutrition-inflammation score (MIS). Transthoracic echocardiographic examinations were performed on all patients.44 patients undergoing maintenance enrolled this study. Malnourished had higher levels...
