POCUS boosts diagnostic accuracy in patients with acute dyspnoea

22 May 2021

Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) improves the accuracy of diagnosis in patients with acute dyspnoea, which is a common and often debilitating symptom with a complex diagnostic work-up, results of a recent study have shown.

Bronchoscopic cs‐FM tied to low migration rate, allows precise SBRT delivery

22 May 2021

Endobronchial coil spring fiducial marker (cs-FM) is a safe and rapid procedure that results in a low migration rate and allows precise stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) delivery, a study has shown. Moreover, previous irradiation of the peripheral pulmonary lesion (PPL) appears to lead to a higher migration rate.

Stroke rate lower than thought in critically ill COVID-19 patients

21 May 2021 by

Stroke occurred at a relatively low rate of 2.2 percent in critically ill COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) — which is lower than previously thought among COVID-19 patients, according to data from the COVID-19 Critical Care Consortium (CCCC) registry presented at the AAN 2021 Meeting.

Telerehab helps severe COVID-19 survivors get back on their feet

21 May 2021 by

Survivors of severe COVID-19 face another challenge following their discharge from the hospital: a harder recovery and low functional exercise capacity. But the good news is that a simple telerehabilitation programme may help them return to form after 3 months, as reported in a study.

Serum KL-6 a better predictor of progressive SSc-ILD than CYFRA 21-1

21 May 2021

A recent study has found that serum KL-6, a mucin-like glycoprotein (MUC1) expressed by type II pneumocytes, is associated with decline in lung function in systemic sclerosis (SSc), indicating its clinical utility in risk stratification for progressive SSc-related interstitial lung disease (ILD).

In the treatment of refractory gastroesophageal reflux-induced chronic cough (GERC), the lower oesophageal sphincter pressure (LESP) and lower oesophageal sphincter length (LESL) help predict baclofen efficacy, according to a study.

Lack of reproductive aged women in COVID-19 trials has long-ranging effects

19 May 2021 by

Women of reproductive age are often excluded from COVID-19 vaccine and treatment clinical trials, which could hinder their access to beneficial treatments, according to a study presented at the recent ACOG 2021 meeting.

Body mass index foretells mortality in bronchiectasis

19 May 2021

Among patients with bronchiectasis, those who are underweight are at increased risk of death while those who are obese have a much lower risk, a study has found.

Paediatric adrenal insufficiency, T1D may impact COVID-19 outcomes

18 May 2021 by

Children who have adrenal insufficiency or type 1 diabetes (T1D) may have a higher likelihood of mortality and certain complications of COVID-19, according to research presented at ENDO 2021.

UK COVID-19 variant tied to higher mortality risk

18 May 2021 by

In a UK matched cohort study, the risk of death in individuals infected with VOC-202012/1, the new SARS-CoV-2 variant that has been designated a variant of concern by Public Health England in December 2020, is higher than that in people infected with other circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants.
