Health related quality of life and its determinants in COVID-19 patients
CONCLUSION: Young age, male sex, reduced exercise capacity, poor psychosocial status, and increased fatigue are predictors for impaired QoL after COVID19. Therefore, non-medical treatment options that improve QoL should be considered in the follow-up of these patients.PMID:37740628 | DOI:10.5578/tt.20239706 (Source: Tuberkuloz ve Toraks)

Determining factors affecting the acceptability of spirometry: A survey study in a tertiary chest diseases center
CONCLUSION: Reduction of participants’ anxiety and repetitive testing increases test acceptability. For this reason, in our clinical practice, we recommend that people who want a spirometry test relieve their anxiety about the test and repeat the test in unacceptable tests.PMID:37740630 | DOI:10.5578/tt.20239708 (Source: Tuberkuloz ve Toraks)

The distribution of sensitization to common aeroallergens in patients with rhinitis and asthma in Şanlıurfa, Türkiye
CONCLUSION: The most frequently detected allergens in this study were pollen, cockroach, and house dust mites, respectively. The findings revealed that pollen was the most frequent aeroallergen in subjects with allergic rhinitis with and without asthma. In patients with only asthma, the most frequent aeroallergen was house dust mites.PMID:37740631 | DOI:10.5578/tt.20239709 (Source: Tuberkuloz ve Toraks)

The evolution of endobronchial ultrasound usage in modern era
Tuberk Toraks. 2023 Sep;71(3):299-307. doi: 10.5578/tt.20239711.ABSTRACTOver the past two decades, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has become a crucial tool for diagnosing pulmonary diseases. The most common indication of EBUS usage is the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer. Additionally, there have been significant improvements in the application of convex probe EBUS in line with the increase in experience and knowledge about EBUS and the developments in medicine and technology. To enhance diagnostic accuracy and acquire larger tissue samples, techniques such as cryo-biopsy guided by endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and ...

A rare case: Endobronchial solitary mixed papilloma
Tuberk Toraks. 2023 Sep;71(3):308-311. doi: 10.5578/tt.20239712.ABSTRACTEndobronchial solitary papillomas are extremely rare lung neoplasms originating from the bronchial surface epithelium. They often present with cough or recurrent hemoptysis. These tumors are benign, but they should be followed closely because they may even have a low probability of malignant transformation features. It should be kept in mind that malignancy may develop especially if the patient is a smoker. Although the etiology is not known for certain, it is thought to be caused by human papillomavirus in some cases. A 43-year-old male patient was ad...

Mediastinitis and subcutaneous abscess complicated after EBUS-TBNA of 2R mediastinal lymph node
We report a case of a patient who developed a subcutaneous abscess abscess and mediastinitis after EBUSTBNA. A 75-year-old male with a history of right nephrectomy due to renal cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma history underwent EBUS-TBNA for the evaluation of a right upper paratracheal lymph node. Two weeks after the procedure, the patient presented to the emergency department with skin induration and erythema on the right clavicular area. A non-contrast neck and thorax CT scan was performed, which revealed an extensive subcutaneous abscess on the right clavicular area, extending to the supraclavicular region. The pa...

Delayed anaphylaxis due to Alpha-gal allergy: A modified desensitization protocol with red meat in an adult patient
Tuberk Toraks. 2023 Sep;71(3):318-324. doi: 10.5578/tt.20239714.ABSTRACTAlpha-gal allergy is the sensitization to Alpha-gal present in saliva when a tick bites and the development of an IgE-mediated reaction to Alpha-gal also present in red meat by cross-reactivity. In contrast to other food allergies, symptoms occur as late as 2-6 hours after a meal. Prick to prick testing with nonmammalian meat in combination with cooked mammalian meat is recommended for diagnosis. However, the main diagnostic test is Alpha-gal sIgE> 0.1 IU/mL. The primary recommendation in patients with Alpha-gal syndrome is to prevent new tick bites...

Is diaphragm ultrasound better than rapid shallow breathing index for predicting weaning in critically ill elderly patients?
CONCLUSION: Ultrasound can be used to show diaphragm dysfunction in the elderly frail population, and a multifactorial approach to the extubation process may include ultrasound instead of using traditional RSBI alone.PMID:37740623 | DOI:10.5578/tt.20239701 (Source: Tuberkuloz ve Toraks)

Outcomes of lung transplantation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that prelisting demographic and clinical data of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients had no significant effect on post-operative outcomes, however, intra-operative ECMO use, prolonged extubation, primary graft dysfunction (p< 0.05 for each) and chronic rejection (p> 0.05) were more common in patients who are <60 years of age. These data need to be confirmed by larger studies.PMID:37740625 | DOI:10.5578/tt.20239703 (Source: Tuberkuloz ve Toraks)

A retrospective evaluation of patients with sleep breathing disorders in single center, Edirne province
CONCLUSION: Patients with appropriate symptoms can be diagnosed with a high probability of OSA in our region. The fact that a substantial group of patients diagnosed with OSA and recommended to use the PAP device did not receive the device or the proportion of those who could not use the device was high is one of the notable findings of the study.PMID:37740626 | DOI:10.5578/tt.20239704 (Source: Tuberkuloz ve Toraks)
