Abstract:

Airway clearance is essential for managing Muco-Obstructive Lung Diseases (MOLDs). Percussion, a widely used airway clearance technique (ACT) in community and home care settings, is favored for its ease of implementation compared to other complex techniques. However, percussion is time-consuming and physically demanding for both caregivers and patients, as caregivers typically perform percussion on the entire back to avoid missing accumulated sputum when its exact location is unknown. Therefore, accurate sputum localization can significantly enhance the percussion experience. Current clinical

Abstract:

Tuberculosis (TB) remains as a major public health issue in developing countries. Accurate detection is essential for the proper management of patients with active disease. Here, we present a simple DNAzol-LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) procedure for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum specimens. Twenty smear-positive sputum samples were analyzed as follows: (i) Genetic material was extracted by a standard DNAzol protocol, and (ii) mycobacterial DNA was detected by a typical TB-specific loop-mediated isothermal amplification method.

Abstract:

India has 2.64 million tuberculosis (TB) cases, and this number is almost 30% of the worldwide TB burden. The aim of the study was to find out whether there is a relationship between the prevalence of TB cases with respect to gender, duration of cough and location. In this study, sputum samples were collected from the patients who reported cough in outdoor patient departments. All sputum samples were examined microscopically. Age, gender, and location-wise data were prepared for study. During the study period, total 37119 presumptive patients were attended outpatient department and 1103 (2.97%

Abstract:

Background: Sternotomy for cardiac surgery results in significant postoperative pain, which, if inadequately managed, can impair respiratory function, prolong recovery, and increase opioid consumption. Poor pain control leads to reduced inspiratory effort, atelectasis, decreased sputum clearance, and respiratory infections. Effective analgesia is essential for optimizing postoperative outcomes while minimizing opioid-related side effects. Regional anesthesia techniques, particularly parasternal intercostal blocks, have shown promise in improving pain relief, enhancing pulmonary function, and r

ABSTRACT The efficacy of Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine against pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) varies enormously in different populations.

Our study demonstrates that prior exposure to live environmental mycobacteria can result in a broad immune response that is recalled rapidly after BCG vaccination and controls the multiplication of the vaccine.

In human asthma, which is chronic and difficult to model, the role of IL-33 and the target cells responsible for persistent type 2 inflammation remain undefined.

Background: Tuberculosis drug resistance is often associated with inadequate anti-tuberculosis treatment regimen resulting to mutations that confers resistance to anti-tuberculosis agents. This is aggravated by synergetic relationship between Tuberculosis and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). Over 25% of Global Tuberculosis deaths occur in Africa and Kenya is one of the 30 high burden countries that together account for more than 80% of the world’s TB cases. According to World Health Organization, in 2018, Multi drug resistant Tuberculosis prevalence in Kenya was 1.3% in new cases and 4.4% i

Abstract:

The authors aimed to give a quick reference guide for humanity about the new threat even after the COVID-19 health battle i.e., the Black fungus also baptized as Mucormycosis infection. After recovering from COVID-19, patients with diabetes mellitus and patients who have undergone steroidal treatment are more prone to black fungus infection. This review gives quick information about various types of Mucormycosis infections, risk factors, symptoms, treatment, and prevention of black fungus. The things that can be and cannot be done to eradicate the black fungus. Any sign of black nasal mucosa/s

Abstract:

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a worldwide healthcare problem and it is one of the major public health concerns in India including Chhattisgarh state. National tuberculosis elimination program (NTEP) has adopted direct observed treatment (DOTS) strategy for elimination of TB. Due to inaccessibility and difficult to reach areas in the tribal areas, monitoring of treatment adherence and treatment completion remains a challenge leading to poor treatment outcomes among TB cases. This implementation research was aimed to assess the impact of family DOTS on the TB treatment outcomes in a trib

Abstract:

A male patient in his 70s, who had previously worked as a bricklayer, presented with worsening shortness of breath on exertion and cough for 6 months. He had lost weight, and a respiratory examination suggested a right pleural effusion. Routine evaluation was unremarkable. Sputum examination for tuberculosis was negative; hence, a contrast-enhanced CT of the thorax was performed, which revealed features of silicosis with pleural effusion. Pleural fluid analysis was inconclusive; hence, a medical thoracoscopy was performed, which showed black nodules over the parietal pleura, which were biopsie

Airway remodeling assessed using computed tomography (CT) correlates well with spirometry in patients with obstructive lung diseases. Structural airway changes caused by carbon black exposure remain unknown. Wall and lumen areas of sixth and ninth generations of airways in 4 lobes were quantified using end-inhalation CT scans in 58 current carbon black packers (CBPs) and 95 non-CBPs.
