Background: Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) is a rare disease characterized by generalized gastrointestinal polyps, ectodermal abnormalities and variable gastrointestinal symptoms. Few cases to date have described complications with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Here we reported a rare case of CCS concomitant with DVT.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the gender differences in clinical characteristics of patients with bronchiectasis in different age groups in northern China.
Methods: A total of 777 patients diagnosed with bronchiectasis were retrospectively included in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and divided into two groups by gender: the male group and the female group.
Purpose: Our study aims to explore the impact of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) alone or combined with montelukast on clinical efficiency and pulmonary function (PF) in treating patients with bronchial asthma complicated by obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
Methods: A total of 386 patients with bronchial asthma underwent sleep monitoring. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to the different treatment methods.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to investigate the characteristics and risk factors of asthma patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
- Among 238 asthma patients, 93 had OSAHS and were categorized into mild, moderate, and severe groups, while the other 145 had asthma only.
- Key findings revealed that patients with OSAHS had higher rates of allergic rhinitis, increased body mass index (BMI), neck circumference, and levels of certain biomarkers compared to those without OSAHS, highlighting important risk factors associated with the condition.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of bronchial asthma among Beijing residents aged over 14, using a stratified cluster random sampling method and analyzing data from 57,647 respondents.
- Among the sampled population, the overall asthma prevalence rate was found to be 1.19%, with higher rates observed in suburban areas (1.40%) compared to urban areas (1.09%), and females showed a higher prevalence (1.32%) than males (1.06%).
- The findings indicated a significant increase in asthma rates in Beijing from 2002 to 2011, particularly among older age groups, with 28.8% of diagnosed cases being first-time diagnoses.
