The evaluation of next‐generation sequencing assisted pathogenic detection in immunocompromised hosts with pulmonary infection: A retrospective study

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 16, Issue 12, Page 793-801, December 2022., 2022
In this study, we discovered that next‐generation sequencing (NGS)‐assisted pathogenic detection may improve detection efficiency and is associated with better clinical outcomes in immunocompromised pulmonary‐infected patients with radiographic evidence of bilateral diffuse lesions.

Occupationally Relevant Zinc‐ and Copper‐Containing Metal Fumes Inhibit Human THP‐1 Macrophage TNF and IL‐6 Responses to Bacterial Stimuli

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
Metal workers have an increased risk of severe pneumonia due to metal fume exposure. In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper oxide (CuO) particles are found to inhibit specific anti‐bacterial macrophage responses, which may substantially contribute to impaired lung immunity.

Clinical evaluation of nebulized verapamil in out‐patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 16, Issue 12, Page 802-811, December 2022., 2022
Single dose nebulized verapamil inhalation showed improvement in V/Q mismatch throught increase FVC. Nebulized verapamil inhalation improved gas exchanged and increased spO2. Nebulized verapamil inhalation for out‐patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease improved spirometric parameter.

Rapid and Visual Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Based on Multiplex Recombinase Polymerase Amplification

iLABMED, EarlyView.
We developed an on‐site detection platform for rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) based on the IS1081 gene. The platform utilizes real‐time multiplex recombinase polymerase amplification (mRPA) to achieve a reaction time of less than 30 min.

Risk factors associated with venous thromboembolism in tuberculosis: A case control study

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 16, Issue 12, Page 835-841, December 2022., 2022
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) risks seem higher in tuberculosis (TB) patients, and therefore, there is a need for active prevention and treatment. Patients with fever, dyspnea, lower limb edema, and D‐dimer levels of more than 1855 μg/L should be actively screened for VTE and prophylactic anticoagulation given if necessary.

Assessment of Healthcare Professionals' Knowledge Regarding Nontuberculosis Mycobacterial Infections at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia, 2024: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
A comprehensive and schematic illustration of the study's methods and materials. ABSTRACT Background Nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental pathogens that can cause pulmonary infections, especially among the immunocompromised population. There is limited research on healthcare professionals' knowledge of NTM infections in Ethiopia.

Characteristics and difference of respiratory diseases in Korean adults aged ≥40 years: A cross‐sectional study

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 29-39, January 2023., 2023
The odds ratio (OR) of having asthma + COPD among patients with asthma was lower in females and older people. Regarding BMI, risk of asthma + COPD was higher in underweight patients with asthma as compared with those with normal BMI, whereas the association was lower in overweight subjects.

EXACT-CT: EXplainable Analysis for Crohn's and Tuberculosis using CT [PDF]

arXiv
Crohn's disease and intestinal tuberculosis share many overlapping features such as clinical, radiological, endoscopic, and histological features - particularly granulomas, making it challenging to clinically differentiate them. Our research leverages 3D CTE scans, computer vision, and machine learning to improve this differentiation to avoid harmful ...
