Rationale: Despite the increasing recognition of asthma–chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome (ACOS) as a clinical entity, it remains poorly characterized due to lack agreement on its definition and diagnostic criteria.Objectives: The aim this study was use spirometry computed tomography (CT) help better define ACOS well classify subjects with based Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) letter grade.Methods: We analyzed 10,192 enrolled in COPDGene...
Abstract We recently showed that the ACC/AHA coronary lesion classification could be simplified with no loss of predictive value (SCAI I = patent/non‐C; SCAI II patent/C; III occluded/non‐C; IV occluded/C). now test this system in a database reflecting current stent usage. Data from 14,133 patients single‐native‐vessel interventions recorded Society for Coronary Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) Registry July 1996 to 1999 were analyzed. Stents used 60.2% procedures. Logistic models...
Vessel wall shortening and deformity due to "arterial telescoping" is a not infrequent reversible phenomenon that occurs during coronary angioplasty associated with the advancement of stiff wire through elongated tortuous segments, straightening artery deep guiding catheter introduction beyond ostium. We present first described case accordion effect involving left main artery. On detecting arterial crumpling, it essential make differential diagnosis between syndrome PTCA potential...
Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar non-ketotic syndrome (HHNS) is a life-threatening complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus with wide range presenting symptoms. Neurological symptoms, such as coma, can also be part the manifestation HHNS; however, focal seizures remain rare but notable association. A 85-year-old male patient no history presented to our emergency department complaining two-day twitching movements his left wrist. Laboratory findings suggested HHNS and hemoglobin A1c were found...
Background: While transradial approach to conduct percutaneous coronary interventions offers multiple advantages, the procedure can cause radial artery damage and occlusion. Because is preferred site for creation of an arteriovenous fistula provide dialysis, patients with chronic kidney disease are particularly dependent on their long-term survival. Methods: In this retrospective study, we investigated prevalence in undergoing via artery. Stage was based estimated glomerular filtration rate...
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that can result from various etiologies, including bronchial obstruction. It estimated 5.4% community-acquired pneumonia occurs as a endobronchial obstruction, classifying them post-obstructive pneumonia. Pulmonary hamartomas are benign and exceedingly rare tumors. These usually asymptomatic found incidentally on imaging, however, they cause patients to develop We present 40-year-old female with cough, fatigue, recurrent right lower lobe Upon workup...
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a systemic small/medium-sized vessel vasculitis, which member of the family antineutrophil cytoplasmic auto-antibody-associated vasculitides. This disorder affects multiple organs as it disease, but overlapping rheumatoid arthritis extremely rare, few cases reported in medical literature. We report case 55-year-old female history who presented recurrent upper/lower respiratory tract symptoms that responded poorly to antibiotics. The patient had...
