Camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis syndrome and an unusual association with mitral stenosis
CONCLUSIONS: The main defect is the proteoglycan 4 protein which acts like a lubricant in articular and visceral surfaces. Therefore, the leading clinical feature is arthropathy. Cardiac involvement other than clinically mild pericarditis is not usually expected. Three types of proteoglycans (decorin, biglycan, and versican) are present in the mitral valve. This could be the reason of mitral valve involvement in rare cases as like ours. It is important that these patients undergo echocardiographic examination regularly.PMID:38523390 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2023.647 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics)

Eight months of integrated yoga, hydrotherapy and acupuncture on serum IgE levels and symptoms severity of a patient with chronic allergic rhinosinusitis: A case report
A 27-year-old man with Allergic rhino sinusitis presented to our hospital in July 2020 with complaints of continuous sneezing, coughing while rising from bed for half an hour, and the same complaints repeated in the afternoon for half an hour, as well as a continuous dry cough for half an hour in the evening. He also had complaints of itching and skin rashes, particularly in his limbs. He underwent yoga (45 minutes, 5 –6 days a week) including Jalaneti (a yogic cleansing technique, i.e. nasal irrigation with warm salt water for twice a week), hydrotherapy (enema using neem leaves paste mixed with water and steam bath on ...

First Exploration of the Altered Microbial Gut –Lung Axis in the Pathogenesis of Human Refractory Chronic Cough
ConclusionSince differences in both GM and OM of RCC patients have been documented, these findings could provide new information about RCC pathogenesis and also pave the way for the development of novel nutritional or pharmacological interventions for the management of RCC through the restoration of eubiotic gut –lung communication.

Prevalence and causes of chronic cough in Japan
CONCLUSIONS: We confirmed that the main causes of chronic cough were cough variant asthma, SBS, atopic cough, and their complications. We also showed that complicated GER-associated cough was more likely to become refractory. This is the first nationwide study in Japan of the causes and treatment effects of chronic cough.PMID:38522360 | DOI:10.1016/j.resinv.2024.02.017 (Source: Respiratory Care)

A case report of Birt –Hogg–Dubé syndrome associated with severe airway obstruction in a 62‐year‐old female smoker
We report a case of a smoking individual diagnosed with BHD syndrome complicated by spontaneous pneumothorax and severe airway obstruction. The patient presented with chronic dyspnea and productive cough. Further work-up revealed severe obstructive airflow limitation, and multiple lung cysts in both lungs, accompanied centrilobular emphysematous changes. Genetic testing confirmed a heterozygous deletion of exons 6 –8 in thefolliculin gene, confirming the diagnosis of BHD. AbstractBirt –Hogg–Dubé syndrome (BHD) typically does not manifest airway obstruction despite the presence of multiple lung cysts. However, the lo...

The First Case of a Korean Patient with a Mutation-Confirmed Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-Associated Periodic Syndrome
Yonsei Med J. 2024 Apr;65(4):241-245. doi: 10.3349/ymj.2023.0366.ABSTRACTTumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS, OMIM: #142680) is a rare autoinflammatory disease (AID) with recurrent febrile episodes. To our knowledge, we report herein the first case of a patient with TRAPS in South Korea whose symptoms included fever, arthralgia, abdominal pain, rash, myalgia, cough, and lymphadenopathy. A pathogenic de novo mutation, c.175T>C (p.Cys59Arg), in the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1A (TNFRSF1A) gene, was confirmed by gene sequencing. The patient has been with tocilizumab (an...

A Potential Therapeutic Approach According to Traditional Thai Medicine Theory for Post-COVID-19 Syndrome Treatment: An Observational Retrospective Clinical Study
CONCLUSIONS: The TTM clinical practice guideline for treating post-COVID-19 syndrome effectively improved the overall physical health capacity and symptoms associated with post-COVID-19 syndrome. Therefore, the implementation of this guideline, together with other approaches, could strengthen the treatment for post-COVID-19 to be more effective.PMID:38518168 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)
