Bronchiectasis refers to both the name of a disease and single radiological appearance that may, or may not, be associated with disease. As chronic respiratory disease, bronchiectasis is characterized by variable range signs symptoms overlap other conditions. The proper identification as in primary secondary care paramount importance. However, standardized definition radiologically clinically significant still missing. Disease heterogeneity hallmark applies not only features clinical...
Background: Tracheal stenosis represents a fearsome complication that substantially impairs quality of life. The recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic increased the number patients requiring invasive ventilation through prolonged intubation or tracheostomy, increasing risk tracheal stenosis. Study design and methods: In this prospective, observational, multicenter study performed in Lombardy (Italy), we have exanimated 281 who underwent (more than 7 days) tracheostomy for severe COVID-19. Patients CT...
<b>Background:</b> One of the most striking features alveolar pressure (Palv) - flow (V̇) relation in some COPD patients during spontaneous breathing at rest is a prominent expiratory loop running counterclockwise. The origin this still obscure. <b>Aims:</b> To compare magnitude with (FL) and without (NFL) flow-limitation rest, before after bronchodilation (BD). <b>Methods:</b> presence tidal was assessed negative method stable mild to very severe patients, who performed body-plethysmography...
Active neutrophil elastase (aNE) has emerged as promising biomarker correlated to disease severity and progression in bronchiectasis. Current evidence derives mainly from Northern Europe, while bronchiectasis demonstrated be a heterogeneous across countries. The present study aims determine the prevalence of patients with high levels aNE sputum Southern European country explore its association clinical outcomes. This was prospective, observational enrolling consecutive stable adults (≥18...
