Asthma is linked to increase the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the causal relationship remains uncertain due to confounding factors. Eosinophilic and neutrophilic inflammation are known pathwa...

Aim: to systematize data on the clinical, diagnostic, and prognostic significance of pulmonary arterial stiffness (PAS) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to elucidate its pathogenetic role in pulmonary ...

To evaluate the relationships between nasal obstruction and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), this report provides a simple review of the literature relating to this subject. Patients with OSA have exhibited a hig...

BackgroundIn 2021, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) emerged as the forth leading cause of death in the world. However, the impact of air pollutants on COPD is still inconsistent across current studies. Object...

A abordagem das uropatias diagnosticadas no período pré-natal é controversa, principalmente, porque o prognóstico desses fetos é variável. Contudo, trabalhos pioneiros têm demonstrado que a drenagem pré-natal do ...

Leclercia adecarboxylata is an uncommon pathogen causing infective endocarditis, with limited number of infections reported in the literature. A literature review showed only three cases of infective endocarditis caused ...

"In the present work, an ischaemic process, mainly focused on the reperfusion stage, is studied using the informational causal entropy-complexity plane. Ischaemic wall behavior under this condition was analyzed through w...

Study objective: To evaluate whether impaired ventriculo-aretrial interaction characterizes chronic ischemic heart disease (CIHD) caused by stable chronic obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), using wave intensity a...

Objectives: The loss of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) is a problem that affects stomatognathic system performance, mainly in edentulous patients. Thus, diseases related to musculature failure such as obstructive ...

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...
