As patients with critical respiratory diseases suffer from the discomfort of disease, frequent medical and nursing procedures, and the noise disturbance of the ICU environment, it is necessary to implement analgesia and sedation to reduce their negative stress and oxygen consumption. Special emphasis will be placed on the clinical practice of analgesia, sedation and rehabilitation in critically ill patients with respiratory diseases, as different pathophysiological features of the respective pulmonary diseases are presented, such as severe asthma and acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as well as the exclusive situations during respiratory therapy, such as recruitment maneuvers, bedside bronchoscopy and operation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenators...

PURPOSE: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In this paper, we determined risk factors for COPD among patients presenting to pulmonology and medical outpatients' clinics of Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH). METHODS: In this case-control study, cases were patients with COPD confirmed by spirometry and controls were those with normal spirometry. The two groups were matched by age and gender...

Sputum induction is a technique that covers the induction and the subsequent processing of the expectorate primarily for the analysis of cells and different inflammatory biomarkers present in the airways to further understand the pathophysiology of different inflammatory respiratory disorders such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as well as the diagnosis of lung diseases such as lung cancer, tuberculosis, and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia. It is a non-invasive, safe, cost-effective, and reliable technique reported to exhibit a high success rate...

BACKGROUND: Respiratory diseases of infectious, allergic, neoplastic or degenerative origin are due to the interaction of environmental and occupational risk factors, individual susceptibility and other co-factors and comorbidities. Asthma and other respiratory pathologies can be worsened by climate change and exposure to other agents in occupational environments. METHODS: PubMed and Scopus, and several websites on public and occupational health were queried to find publications and documents on work-related respiratory diseases, asthma, rhinitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumoconiosis and allergic alveolitis in association with climate change...

BACKGROUND: Recently, chronic lung diseases have been found to be associated with marked inflammation and oxidative stress, which leads to fibrosis in the lungs and chronic respiratory failure. This study aims to determine if hydrogen-rich water (HRW) can enhance oxygen saturation among patients with chronic lung diseases. METHODS: Ten patients with chronic lung diseases due to COPD ( n = 7), bronchial asthma ( n = 2), and tuberculosis of the lung ( n = 1) with oxygen saturation of 90-95% were provided high-concentration (>5 mM) HRW using H2 -producing tablets for 4 weeks...

Pneumology and phthisiology (respiratory medicine) has undergone dynamic development in the last two decades. The main focus of pulmonology in the past was care for patients with tuberculosis and pneumonia. Since then, respiratory medicine evolved and the current focus is on chronic pulmonary diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, interstitial lung diseases, but also on acute lung conditions (e.g., pneumonia, pleural diseases, respiratory failure), pneumooncology or highly specialized care for rare lung diseases (e...

The Spanish Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR) has held its 56th congress in Granada from 8 to 10 June 2023. The SEPAR congress has established itself as the leading scientific meeting for specialists in medicine and respiratory care, reaching a record of participation this year with 2600 attendees. Our society thus demonstrates its leadership in the management of respiratory diseases, as well as its growth and progress in order to achieve excellence. In this review, we offer a summary of some notable issues addressed in six selected areas of interest: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), tuberculosis and respiratory infections, pulmonary circulation, and respiratory nursing...

Many of the infectious diseases are ubiquitous in nature and pose a threat to global and public health. The original cause for such type of serious maladies can be summarized as the scarcity of appropriate analysis and treatment methods. Pulmonary diseases are considered one of the life-threatening lung diseases that affect millions of people globally. It consists of several types, namely, asthma, lung cancer, tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and several respiratory-related infections...

Secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) is one of the most abundant immunoglobulin subtypes among mucosa, which plays an indispensable role in the first-line protection against invading pathogens and antigens. Therefore, the role of respiratory SIgA in respiratory mucosal immune diseases has attracted more and more attention. Although the role of SIgA in intestinal mucosal immunity has been widely studied, the cell types responsible for SIgA and the interactions between cells are still unclear. Here, we conducted a wide search of relevant studies and sorted out the relationship between SIgA and some pulmonary diseases (COPD, asthma, tuberculosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, COVID-19, lung cancer), which found SIgA is involved in the pathogenesis and progression of various lung diseases, intending to provide new ideas for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of related lung diseases...

Chronic cough (i.e., cough lasting >8 weeks) has a global prevalence of approximately 10%. The individual burden can be long-lasting, with some patients experiencing cough for many years. Although chronic cough is often a symptom of respiratory diseases (e.g., lung cancer, tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or associated with triggers (e.g., asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease, rhinosinusitis) and may resolve after targeted treatment of these conditions, some patients continue to cough despite optimal treatment (refractory chronic cough, RCC) or have no identifiable conditions presumed to be contributing to the cough (unexplained chronic cough, UCC)...

Chest or upper body auscultation has long been considered a useful part of the physical examination going back to the time of Hippocrates. However, it did not become a prevalent practice until the invention of the stethoscope by Rene Laennec in 1816, which made the practice suitable and hygienic. Pulmonary disease is a kind of sickness that affects the lungs and various parts of the respiratory system. Lung diseases are the third largest cause of death in the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the five major respiratory diseases, namely chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), tuberculosis, acute lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), asthma, and lung cancer, cause the death of more than 3 million people each year worldwide...

Over 80% of the morbidity and mortality related to acute and chronic respiratory diseases occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), a reflection of vast disparities in care for these conditions. Over the next decade, the prevalence of respiratory diseases is expected to increase, as population growth in LMICs exceeds high-income countries (HICs). Pediatric morbidity and mortality from lower respiratory tract infections and asthma occur almost exclusively in LMICs, contributing to a greater loss of quality adjusted life years from these conditions when compared with HICs...

Lung disease encompasses acute, infectious processes and chronic, non-infectious processes such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and lung cancer. People living with HIV are at increased risk of both acute and chronic lung diseases. Although the use of effective antiretroviral therapy has diminished the burden of infectious lung disease, people living with HIV experience growing morbidity and mortality from chronic lung diseases. A key risk factor for HIV-associated lung disease is cigarette smoking, which is more prevalent in people living with HIV than in uninfected people...
