Aim: To establish symptoms, lung function and to evaluate subsequent exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) during a year after virus-induced COPD exacerbations.
Materials And Methods: Patients hospitalized with viral (=60), bacterial (=60) and viral-bacterial (=60) COPD exacerbations were enrolled to single-center prospective observational study. COPD was diagnosed according spirography criteria.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates heart failure (HF) markers in patients with professional chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (PCOPD), a specific type of COPD, and the challenges in diagnosing HF in these patients.
- A total of 345 patients were included, with 115 each in three groups: those with PCOPD, smokers with COPD, and healthy controls, matched for age, sex, and COPD duration.
- Key findings revealed that HF in PCOPD patients often involves biventricular damage, preserved heart function, and increased hospitalization rates, with several identified markers like high pulmonary artery pressure and specific protein levels indicating HF at a diagnostic sensitivity of
Aim: To establish the efficacy of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) for healthcare workers protection from occupational acquired infection and impact of healthcare staff vaccination on the risk of transmission to patients.
Materials And Methods: Healthcare personnel (n=157 of whom 105 critical care department staff) and 1770 patients of that critical care department observed. Healthcare workers received PCV13.
