Introduction: This retrospective observational study has been designed to identify clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes and factors associated with severe illness in 813 COVID-19 patients hospitalised in an Indian tertiary care hospital. Mate...
Introduction: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a non-invasive method for the determination of disability and comprehensive evaluation of exercise responses involving the cardiovascular, pulmonary and musculoskeletal systems. Material and Me...
Introduction: Asthma is characterized by persistent inflammation, airway hypersensitivity and remodelling. Bone Morphogenetic Proteins belong to the Transforming Growth Factor Superfamily and have a similar signalling transduction pathway and common...
Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized treatment of solid malignancies, leading in some cases to durable responses. However, an unchecked immune response might lead to mild to severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Pulmonary t...
Approximately 10–20% of patients with non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbor an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) [...]
Introduction: Lung cancer patients (LCP) require invasive evaluation of left adrenal glands (LAG) if distant metastases (M1b/1c) are suspected in CT or PET-CT. Only few studies showed utility of endosonography and particularly EUS-b-FNA as minimally...
Introduction: As a “vital sign” of health and functional capacity, gait speed is commonly used. However, there is insufficient evidence for possible determinants of gait speed in patients with asthma. The primary objective of the present study was to...
Introduction: To explore the incidence of pro-arrhythmic effects such as corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation, arrhythmic events and myocardial injury of azithromycin as administered for the treatment of COVID-19. Material and Methods: We searche...
Introduction: Many uncontrolled severe asthmatics are not on biologic therapy. We hypothesized that using a prescription database could help us identify them. Material and Methods: 3309 patients who received at least one Montelukast prescription in 2...
Introduction: Whether biomarkers (i.e., fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and blood eosinophils) or lung function are additional ultimate outcomes in asthma treatment among patients with clinical remission has been the subject of previous resear...
