Abstract:

Thoraco-abdominal blunt trauma may cause traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. Here, we report a case of delayed traumatic diaphragmatic rupture with herniation of multiple viscera along with bacterial pleuritis without perforation or necrosis. A 72-year-old man presented with severe left-sided chest pain and dyspnea following a fall in the bathroom on the previous day; he had hit the left side and back of the chest against a faucet. Computed tomography (CT) revealed pneumoderma, mediastinal emphysema, pneumothorax, and fractures of the 8th–11th left ribs. We diagnosed traumatic pneumothorax, which

Abstract:

Diffuse malignant mesothelioma (DMM) is an uncommon cancer with great clinical significance because it currently remains an incurable disease, and most patients die within months after diagnosis. Although DMM incidence is leveling off or decreasing in developed countries because of the strict control of asbestos use, it is increasing in countries without adequate asbestos control. In some settings, benign, reactive mesothelial hyperplasias and organizing pleuritis can be difficult to differentiate from DMM and vice versa, and the variety of DMM's histopathologic features generates an extensive

High BMI is common feature among patients with rheumatic disease and it is associated with higher disease activity and disability [2].

Abstract:

The dynamics of immunologic indices in the acute and early periods of the traumatic disease was analyzed in 30 patients (25-60 years) with polytrauma. Even during the period of early manifestations of the traumatic disease the signs of immune deficiency are already determined as a disturbance of T-lymphocytes differentiation, T-helpers in particular. The changes in the system of cellular immunity coincide by time with the occurrence of clinical signs of secondary posttraumatic immune deficiency, i.e. pneumonias, pleurities, purulent endobronchites. The obtained data are indicative of the fact

Abstract:

The cytological examination of the evacuated pleural fluid is very important in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the etiology of pleural effusion syndrome. Assessment of the effectiveness of using the cytological diagnostic method in a routine way was conducted within the frames of the given study. Materials of 320 patients with pleural effusion have been studied. In cases of malignant tumors pleurisies were seen in 8.1% of patients, the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy was confirmed in 26.9% of cases. Pleurisy of non-tumor nature (reactive, tuberculotic, etc.) has been noticed in

Abstract:

Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can be associated with intestinal and extraintestinal manifestations. Some patients are treated with infliximab, an antitumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) agent, to help them achieve and maintain clinical and biochemical remission. However, some patients with CD can present severe adverse effects such as drug-induced lupus and rarely present with pleural space and pericardium involvement. We report a case of an 18-year-old Hispanic male with CD who acquired anti-TNF-α-induced lupus after infliximab therapy presenting with pleural eff

Abstract:

The systemic inflammatory response (SIR) may help to predict clinical progression, treatment failure, and prognosis in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Exposure to tobacco smoke may affect the SIR; the role of smoking in CAP has not been consolidated. We evaluated the SIR and outcomes of hospitalized CAP patients stratified by smoking habits and the presence of COPD. This retrospective analysis was conducted at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona. Baseline, clinical, microbiological, and laboratory variables were collected at admission, using C-reactive protein (CRP) levels as a marker of SIR.

Abstract:

AbstractPatients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often suffer acute exacerbations (AECOPD) and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), named nonpneumonic and pneumonic exacerbations of COPD, respectively. Abnormal host defense mechanisms may play a role in the specificity of the systemic inflammatory response. Given the association of this aspect to some biomarkers at admission (e.g., C-reactive protein), it can be used to help to discriminate AECOPD and CAP, especially in cases with doubtful infiltrates and advanced lung impairment.
