Abstract Background Hydromyelia is a common magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) finding associated with compressive myelopathy caused by intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE). Objectives To describe the MRI features of hydro...

BackgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) continues to pose a significant global burden, which may be exacerbated by pro-inflammatory diets. This study aimed to investigate the association between the Dietar...

Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use has risen rapidly over the past decade, particularly among adolescents and young adults, driven by perceptions of reduced harm compared with combustible cigarettes. Despite the abse...

Abstract Introduction Older adults (OAs) and individuals with underlying comorbidities are at increased risk for severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease (e.g., lower respiratory tract disease [LRTD]) and related...

In this study, clinical features in 24 patients diagnosed as urinary tuberculosis in our nephrology and urology clinics between 1993 and 2000 years were investigated retrospectively. Fourteen patients (52 %) were male ...

Introduction Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) may cause stress-induced transient acute cardiac dysfunction through myocardial stunning, in the form of exacerbation-triggered Takotsubo ...

Growing evidence is showing important health impacts of sleep disruption. Sleep restriction is becoming increasingly common in today’s 24/7 society. Evidence from epidemiological studies suggest that reduced sleep dura...

A 54-year-old female who had been receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis therapy for 5 years because of end-stage renal disease, was admitted to hospital because of peritonitis due to Candida albicans. Ultra...

Chronic renal failure (CRF) is defined as a serum creatinine above 1mg/dl in the 1st year of life, which corresponds to creatinine clearances below 30ml/min per 1.73m². CRF is rarely seen in the newborn period. Acco...

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical parameters that affect mortality in patients diagnosed with COVD-19. We examined the following variables: Reverse transcription polymerase chain react...

ABSTRACT Background and Aim Tonsillectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures on children. Indications for tonsillectomy include recurrent tonsillitis, obstructive sleep apnea, and peritonsillar abs...

Abstract Background Endoluminal tracheal stenting can relieve signs associated with tracheal collapse syndrome (TCS) in dogs, but major complications can result. Objective To identify associations among tracheal dimensio...

Incense and candles are commonly utilized for relaxation, deodorization, aesthetics, and religious observance. Both are used ubiquitously and viewed innocuously. However, both modalities release a multitude of compounds,...

BackgroundSevere fungal pneumonia with sepsis carries high mortality. Early and accurate prognosis is essential for improving outcomes. We developed and validated a nomogram based on immune-inflammation-nutrition indicat...

Background Acute exacerbations (AEs) drive disease progression and healthcare burden in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although prior AE history is the strongest predictor of future events, it cannot guide...

ObjectiveTo identify sleep-disordered breathing phenotypes in older adults with depressive disorder and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and to evaluate their associations with systemic inflammation.Meth...

In human beings, intrarenal blood flow impedance, expressed as the resistive index (Rl) and obtained by duplex Doppler ultrasonography, has been used to aid in diagnosis and prognosis of renal failure. Higher than normal...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the ECG fi ndings in asymptomatic HD patients for CVD, and to determine related factors with these fi ndings. MATERIAL and METHODS: 545 maintenance HD patients treated at 10 different HD...

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine Breathing-Daoyin Rehabilitation Techniques (TCM-BDRT) on lung function and exercise capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods...

To assess the effects of an exercise training program combining power-oriented resistance training (RT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on metabolic syndrome (MetS) markers in older people with COPD.

Abstract Background Inspiratory muscle training combined with positive expiratory pressure (IMT/PEP) may improve outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but evidence in exacerbation‑prone (Group E) di...

Abstract Effective respiratory therapy relies heavily on inhaler device efficiency and patient technique. While device performance is well-documented in idealized induction ports, there remains a critical lack of data in...

Abstract Background Sliding hiatal herniation (SHH) and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) commonly occur in French bulldogs. Wireless pH monitoring can quantitatively assess acidic GER in dogs affected by SHH. Hypothesis/Obj...
