AI Article Synopsis
- A study on patients with pulmonary tuberculosis found that coronary heart disease (CHD) was present in 8.4% of cases, primarily affecting elderly and older females.
- ECG changes were noted in those with TB without existing CHD during periods of intoxication.
- CHD was more prevalent in patients with previous pulmonary damage or less active tuberculosis, and its symptoms appeared later in females compared to males.
Article Abstract
The prevalence and some specific features of coronary heart disease (CHD) were studied in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Its prevalence was determined in relation to age, gender, and the type of a tuberculous process. ECG changes in ST segment and T wave were found in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis without concomitant CHD under intoxication. The diagnosis of CHD was established in 41 of 491 patients, which was 8.4%. CHD was more common in elderly and senile females. The clinical manifestation of CHD was observed in females of older age than in males; under the age of 60 years, the prevalence of CHD is less among the patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and above the age of 60 years, it does not differ from that in the general population. CHD most commonly manifests clinical signs in patients with residual changes after experienced pulmonary tuberculosis and in cirrhotic tuberculosis, i.e. when the tuberculosis process is less active.

In this paper, we present a new computational framework for the simulation of airway resistance, the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide, and the diffusion capacity for nitric oxide in healthy and unhealthy lungs. Our approach is firstly based on a realistic representation of the geometry of healthy lungs as a function of body mass, which compares well with data from the literature, particularly in terms of lung volume and alveolar surface area. The original way in which this geometry is created, including an individual definition of the airways in the first seven generations of the lungs, makes it possible to consider the heterogeneous nature of the lungs in terms of perfusion and ventilation.

Background: Cancer patients have up to a 3-fold higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) than the general population. Traditional CVD risk scores may be less accurate for them. We aimed to develop cancer-specific CVD risk scores and compare them with conventional scores in predicting 10-year CVD risk for patients with breast cancer (BC), colorectal cancer (CRC), or lung cancer (LC).
