Background: The ultimate goal of asthma management is to have complete control of the condition, yet the number of patients with uncontrolled asthma continues to rise. This study aims to determine the prevalence of uncontrolled asthma, identify predictive parameters, and compare MART and non-MART treatment regimes.
Methods: A prospective questionnaire was administered to 495 patients who signed the consent form.
Lung cancer in patients with pulmonary fibrosis: characteristics features and prognosis.
Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Lung cancer is a significant issue for patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), but there is limited research on those with non-IPF Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF); this study compares the two groups in terms of characteristics and survival.
- The study analyzed data from 251 patients diagnosed with lung cancer between 2010 and 2022, finding that most were elderly men with a high smoking rate, and differing patterns of lung imaging between the two groups.
- Both IPF-LC and non-IPF PF-LC patients had high 5-year mortality rates around 64%, with the shortest survival noted in non-IPF PF patients with unclassified PF.
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to determine how long patients who developed pneumothorax were followed up on in the emergency department, how many patients required chest tube placement, and what factors influenced the need for a chest tube in patients who underwent computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous transthoracic fine needle aspiration biopsy (PTFNAB).
Materials And Methods: Patients who developed pneumothorax following CT-guided PTFNAB were analyzed retrospectively. In cases with pneumothorax, the relationship between chest tube placement and the size of the lesion, the lesion depth from the pleural surface, the presence of emphysema, and the needle entry angle were investigated.
Objective: To compare the effects of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program with and without telecoaching on health-related outcomes in COVID-19 survivors.
Methods: A total of 42 COVID-19 patients who completed medical treatment were randomly divided into two groups: the study (telecoaching) group (n = 21) and the control (no telecoaching) group (n = 21). Both groups participated in an 8-week home-based PR program including education, breathing exercises, strength training, and regular walking.
What are the mortality markers in elderly patients with acute pulmonary embolism?
Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci
January 2023
Objective: This study investigates characteristics and predictors of mortality among elderly patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE).
Patients And Methods: Data on patients with the diagnosis of APE at the first admission to two centers between January 2012 and March 2022 were screened retrospectively. Patients aged 65 years and older were categorized as the elderly group while patients between 18 and 64 years of age constituted the non-elderly group.
