Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of Leicester Cough Questionnaire in sarcoidosis: the persian version
CONCLUSIONS: The psychometric properties showed that the Persian version of LCQ is a valid and reliable measure to evaluate cough-specific quality of life and is a fit-for-purpose measure for use in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis and the results can guide clinicians in treatment decisions.PMID:38567558 | PMC:PMC11008321 | DOI:10.36141/svdld.v41i1.15203 (Source: Sarcoidosis Vasculitis and Diffuse Lung Diseases)

Severity of COVID-19 manifestations in HIV patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: PLWHs and HIV-negative individuals showed comparable rates and intensity of COVID-19. ART users exhibited immunological health comparable to immunocompetent people, demonstrating the essential role of ART in reducing the severity and mortality of PLWH with COVID-19.PMID:38567616 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35763 (Source: European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences)

Wuhu decoction combined with azithromycin for treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in Asian children: a systematic review and meta analysis of randomized controlled trials
Conclusion: Based on our meta-analysis findings, the combined therapy of Wuhu Decoction and azithromycin for treating pediatric Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia exhibited superior overall efficacy in comparison to azithromycin monotherapy. However, in the included 22 studies, the majority of evaluated factors showed unclear bias risks, and a persistent bias risk was consistently present within one category. Moreover, due to the low quality of evidence, interpreting these results should be approached with caution. Hence, we emphasize the necessity for future high-quality, multicenter, and large-sample clinical randomized con...

Ocular manifestation of hand, foot, and mouth disease
SummaryVirus-related illnesses are a common phenomenon, especially in the colder months of the year. They usually manifest with cough, cold, and other flu-associated symptoms. They affect people of all ages and genders. In recent years, also virus-associated ocular symptoms have been documented repeatedly. One of the viruses known to cause these is the Coxsackievirus A, which causes hand, foot, and mouth disease. Three cases of these virus-associated macular changes are described below. In all three cases, the symptoms occurred unilaterally and with little time delay to the virus-typical general changes. Complete functi...

Neuromuscular Disorders in Pediatric Respiratory Disease
Respiratory sequelae are a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in children with NMD. Impaired cough strength and resulting airway clearance as well as sleep disordered breathing are the two main categories of respiratory sequelae. Routine clinical evaluation and diagnostic testing by pulmonologists is an important pillar of the multidisciplinary care required for children with NMD. Regular surveillance for respiratory disease and timely implementation of treatment including pulmonary clearance techniques as well as ventilation can prevent respiratory related morbidity including hospital admissions and improve surviva...

Bilateral synchronous double primary lung cancer: A case report
This study analyzed the clinical data of a patient with bilateral sDPLC, aiming to improve medical workers' understanding of the disease and avoid missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.AbstractA 68-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with “intermittent cough and expectoration for two months.” Enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) showed that the upper lobe of the left lung had a mass of high-density shadow, bronchial opening of the left lobe was thickened, lumen was narrow, and middle lobe of the right lung had a mass of high-d ensity shadow. Bronchoscopy was performed to observe the microscopic characteristics of...
