Two pregnancies in a young patient who had undergone lobectomy for bronchiectasis are described. Both were complicated by intrauterine growth retardation. The only abnormality detected was maternal hypoxaemia, and this was assumed to be causal.
Extensive and severe bronchiectasis was found in 7 heroin-addicted individuals with pulmonary symptoms whose chest roentgenograms were not suggestive of severe airway disease. Abnormalities consisted of varicose and cylindrical alterations. Pulmonary function tests revealed airflow obstruction,
COPD-OSA (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-obstructive sleep apnea) overlap syndrome is associated with more frequent COPD acute exacerbations than COPD without OSA. With the application of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in COPD, bronchiectasis is commonly detected and Diffuse systemic-pulmonary anastomoses and chronic hypoxemia may result in increase in ventricular work in bronchiectasis. We aimed to assess right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) functions in patients with bronchiectasis by using tissue Doppler-derived myocardial performance index (MPI),
OBJECTIVE
We present the case of a parturient diagnosed with primary ciliary dyskinesia with secondary bronchiectasis who developed significant hypoxemia following administration of intravenous oxytocin during Cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. This case suggests that oxytocin can affect
We observed a patient who developed diffuse bronchiectasis subsequent to heroin-induced pulmonary edema. Unlike the previously reported cases, there was rapid clearing of pulmonary infiltrates and little evidence of severe aspiration. The development of bronchiectasis was attributed to a bronchial
BACKGROUND
Night-time symptoms and hypoxemia during sleep may affect sleep quality in children with chronic lung disease such as bronchiectasis. Poor sleep quality may impair growth, learning, and emotional development of children. Our aim was to assess the sleep quality and associated factors in
Lung function impairments, especially airflow obstruction, are important features during acute exacerbation in patients with bronchiectasis. Recognition of the risk factors associated with airflow obstruction is important in the management of these exacerbations. The medical records of adult
We report a case of bronchiectasis with marked thickening of the respiratory tract wall occurring in a 37-year-old man with UC and HAM. He was diagnosed as UC at age 20. HTLV-1 was presumably transmitted to this patient by means of a blood transfusion he received at around age 30. On admission,
BACKGROUND
Bronchiectasis is a chronic disorder characterised by permanent and irreversible abnormal dilation of the bronchi and bronchioles, primarily caused by repeated cycles of pulmonary infections and inflammation, which lead to reduced mucociliary clearance and to the excessive production of
The relationship between sleep disorders and bronchiectasis has not been well described. We hypothesize that, due to the irreversible dilatation of the bronchi, the presence of secretions, and airflow obstruction, patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis may be predisposed to hypoxemia
Recent research has proposed an association between desaturation during a six minute walking test (6MWT) and osteoporosis in an elderly group of individuals with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. A causative pathway through activation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) has OBJECTIVE
Bronchiectasis is an under-appreciated cause of chronic lung disease in the USA. We highlight developments in diagnosis and treatment of this debilitating disease.
RESULTS
A possible link between gastroesophageal reflux and development of nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease was
BACKGROUND
Bronchiectasis may change cognitive function. The mechanism responsible for cognitive dysfunction in COPD may be neuronal damage caused by hypoxia. Cognitive function in patients with bronchiectasis is also likely to be affected by similar mechanisms. The goal of this study was to
