Clinical and laboratory profile of Expanded Dengue Syndrome: experience of 2019 outbreak from Dhaka, Bangladesh
CONCLUSION: In the year 2019, an unusual rise in EDS cases with about 15.4% fatalities were observed in this study. Hepatitis was the most common presentation and cause of death. Here, we report the first ARDS case encountered in Bangladesh. Despite the multifaceted presentation of EDS, indiscriminate use of antibiotics and steroid was minimal. Early recognition of multifarious features of EDS is important for choosing the targeted treatment option which can avert many deaths. The results of this study underline the necessity for more in-depth research into the risk factors that are contributing to mortality in EDS cases.P...

Exhaled Volatile Organic Compounds for Asthma Control Classification in Children with Moderate to Severe Asthma: Results from the SysPharmPediA Study
CONCLUSIONS: Exhaled metabolites analysis might enable asthma control classification in children. This should stimulate further development of exhaled metabolites-based point-of-care tests in asthma.PMID:38648186 | DOI:10.1164/rccm.202312-2270OC (Source: American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine)

Sarcoid-Like Reactions to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: Incidence, Treatment Course, and Impact on Cancer Progression and Survival
CONCLUSIONS: SLRs are a known but understudied complication associated with ICI therapy. Multisystem SLR patients were more symptomatic and required ICI discontinuation and immune suppression. Larger studies are needed to fully evaluate the impact of SLR on cancer outcomes.PMID:38648910 | DOI:10.1016/j.rmed.2024.107640 (Source: Respiratory Care)

In-Person Versus Remote 6-Minute Walk and Incremental Shuttle Walk Distances in Advanced Lung Disease
CONCLUSIONS: Differences in the distance walked may have resulted from different track lengths, widths, and walking surfaces. This should be considered in test interpretation if tests are repeated under different conditions.PMID:38649272 | DOI:10.4187/respcare.11417 (Source: Respiratory Care)

Factors Associated With Time to Decannulation in Patients With Tracheostomy Following Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
CONCLUSIONS: This study found that a change in swallowing ability is a potentially significant factor for reducing time to decannulation. Identifying factors that could explain differences in time to decannulation is essential for patient outcomes, especially if these factors are modifiable and could be targeted in rehabilitation and treatment.PMID:38649274 | DOI:10.4187/respcare.11376 (Source: Respiratory Care)

Relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and pulmonary hypertension: past, present and future
Expert Rev Respir Med. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.1080/17476348.2024.2345684. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a widely prevalent condition with consequent multiple organ systems complications. There is consensus that OSA is associated with negative effects on pulmonary hemodynamics but whether it contributes to development of clinical pulmonary hypertension (PH) is unclear.AREAS COVERED: In this review we 1) highlight previous studies looking into the possible bidirectional association of OSA and PH, focusing on those that explore clinical prognostic implications, 2) explore potential...

Impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on the incidence of other infectious diseases in the hematology hospital in Korea
CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of COVID-19 infection control measures reduced the incidence of cRV infection. However, CDI increased significantly and incidence rates of CPE and VRE remained unchanged in hematological patients after the pandemic. Infection control measures suitable for each type of HCAI, such as stringent hand washing for CDI and enough isolation capacities, should be implemented and maintained in future pandemics, especially in immunocompromised patients.PMID:38649159 | DOI:10.3904/kjim.2023.508 (Source: The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine)
