The effectiveness of hyaluronic acid in reducing adverse effects associated with inhaled hypertonic saline therapy in patients with cystic fibrosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Inhaled hypertonic saline (HS) is an effective mucolytic agent in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, adverse events can impair the clinical utility of hypertonic saline (HS) in this patient population. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid (HA) in reducing these adverse events.

Leveraging Genomic Associations in Precision Digital Care for Weight Loss: Cohort Study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgency of addressing an epidemic of obesity and associated inflammatory illnesses. Previous studies have demonstrated that interactions between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and lifestyle interventions such as food and exercise may vary metabolic outcomes, contributing to obesity. However, there is a paucity of research relating outcomes from digital therapeutics to the inclusion of genetic data in care interventions.

Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitor Angioedema Requiring Admission to an Intensive Care Unit.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to review consecutive cases of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor angioedema admitted to an intensive care unit.

Methods: Fifty subjects with ACE-inhibitor angioedema admitted from 1998-2011 were reviewed.

Results: All 50 subjects were men, 62.

Clinical control in the dual diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and rhinitis: a prospective analysis.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and allergic rhinitis (AR) are common coexisting disorders. Upper airway, specifically nasal resistance, is thought to increase during exacerbations of AR and nonallergic rhinitis (NAR), as well as in OSAS. The study objective was to determine if a correlation exists between clinical control of rhinitis and OSAS.

Allergen immunotherapy in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus: effect on T-cell activation and viral replication.

Background: Allergen immunotherapy is a major therapeutic modality in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. However, with T-cell activation potential, its role in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was theoretically limited.

Objective: To report the results of allergen immunotherapy in a patient with HIV treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).

Pseudo-Meig's syndrome with multiple synchronous benign and malignant pelvic tumors.

Background: Meig's and Pseudo-Meig's syndromes have been reported in association with several malignancies but the concomitant existence of multiple synchronous benign and malignant tumors in association with Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome has not been reported in the published literature.

Case: A 55-year old African American woman presented with mild asthma exercebation, right ovarian mass, hydrothorax and elevated CA-125 levels. Histological examination confirmed a right ovarian carcinoid tumor embedded within a mature cystic teratoma while the left ovary, fallopian tube and the uterus contained a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the endometrium.
