Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Scientific Study from the year 2015 in the subject Medicine - Other, grade: 8.1, , language: English, abstract: Hemoptysis is defined as bleeding arising from the lower airways. Identifying the etiology of hemoptysis and classifying it in terms of the amount of blood expectorated as well as the rate of bleeding play a fundamental role in defining the timing, way and place of managing a patient with hemoptysis. There are multiple causes of hemoptysis, including airway diseases, parenchymal lung diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and others. However, no cause is identified in 15-30% of all cases, and is termed idiopathic or cryptogenic hemoptysis. In the majority of cases, the source of massive hemoptysis is the bronchial circulation. However, nonbronchial systemic arteries can be also a significant source. Imaging modalities pertinent to the evaluation of hemoptysis include chest radiography, computed tomography, and bronchial arteriography. Conditions such as bronchiectasis, chronic bronchitis, lung malignancy, tuberculosis, and chronic fungal infection are easily detected with conventional CT. Even, CT is superior to fiberoptic bronchoscopy in finding a cause of hemoptysis, its main advantage being its ability to show distal airways beyond the reach of the bronchoscope, and the lung parenchyma surrounding these distal airways. However, more recently, the development of multidetector row CT has provided a comprehensive, noninvasive method of evaluating the entire thorax. At the same time, the combined use of thin-section axial scans and more complex reformatted images allows clear depiction of the origins and trajectories of abnormally dilated bronchial or non-bronchial systemic arteries that may be the source of hemorrhage requiring embolization.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Master's Thesis from the year 2001 in the subject Medicine - Neoplasms, Oncology, , language: English, abstract: Weight loss is a common feature in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The clinical importance of weight loss; particularely loss of fat-free mass (FFM) has been demonstrated in its adverse effects on physical performance and quality of life. Moreover; weight loss and a low body weight are unfavorable prognostic factors in survival, independent of lung function.Mechanisms of malnutrition in those patients are not fully understood. Several factors have been implicated. Increased resting energy expenditure (REE) contributes the main hypothesis for weight loss in COPD patients. However, not all patients with COPD who lose weight are hypermetabolic.Recent data have shown that a systemic inflammatory response is present in patients with COPD. A clear evidence for a relationship between weight loss and plasma tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- ) has been shown in COPD patients. TNF- produces a cachexia-like syndrome in animal models and has been implicated as a mediator of cachexia in several clinical conditions including cancer, chronic heart failure, cystic fibrosis and anorexia nervosa.Nutritional assessment for COPD patients is essential; to identify those individuals who will benifit from nutritional support therapies and to determine baseline values to measure the effectiveness of nutritional intervention. It includes several methods, no simple recommendation can be given regarding the best method for nutritional assessment.Because of the negative impact of malnutrition on the respiratory system in COPD patients, contributing to morbidity and mortality; it's valuable to include management strategies that increase energy balance in order to increase weight and fat-free mass in those malnourished COPD patients.The aim of this study is to determine the most valuable measurements to assess the nutritional status of COPD patients; as regards the anthropometric measurements, the somatic and visceral proteins and markers of inflammation; and to evaluate the correlation between serum TNF- levels and weight loss among those patients; as a trial to improve their clinical prognosis and quality of life.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2008 in the subject Medicine - Neoplasms, Oncology, grade: 1.00, , language: English, abstract: Centrally arising squamous cell carcinoma of the airway is thought to develop through multiple stages from squamous metaplasia to dysplasia, followed by carcinoma in situ (CIS), progressing to invasive cancer. It would be ideal to be able to detect and treat preinvasive bronchial lesions before progressing to invasive cancer. Advances in early diagnostic and treatment options have the potential to manage LC while still in an intraepithelial and/or microinvasive stage. WLB is one of the most commonly used diagnostic tools for LC. However, WLB is limited in its ability to detect small intraepithelial and microinvasive preinvasive lesions.AFB was developed to address this limitation by WLB.Indications for AFI examination; (1) Patients with known or suspected LC (2) Patients with abnormal sputum cytology (3) Patients after curative surgery for stage I LC(4) Current or former smokers with symptoms.A total of 74.7% patients had abnormal sputum cytology, 14.3% had known or suspected LC. All patients underwent conventional WLB followed by AFI examination; using the AFI device. Bronchoscopic-guided biopsy specimens were obtained.Sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of WLB versus that of AFI, were 58.3% Vs 88.9%; 46.7% Vs 71.9%; and 53.0% Vs 80.9%. with a very high significant difference (p value < 0.001) in all cases, respectively. The relative sensitivity for AFI/WLB was 1.52; while it was 2.52 for AFI+WLB / WLB alone. For intraepithelial neoplasia lesions; WLB had a sensitivity of 48.3% versus 86.2% for AFI; with the relative sensitivities for AFI/WLB, and AFI+WLB/WLB, were 1.78, and 2.78; respectively.Conclusions: AFI bronchovideoscopy is a promising and effective system, as a new modality for bronchoscopic evaluation of preinvasine bronchial lesions and early lung cancer. AFI was a highly sensitive tool, particularly for detection of intraepithelial neoplasia lesions among high-risk groups. More importantly, AFI has a high specificity, especially in comparison to previous AFB systems.…
