La versión autoadministrada ha demostrado excelente validez y sensibilidad para detectar los cambios, comparado con otros instrumentos; pese a ser validada al castellano peninsular, los términos utilizados no son claros ni familiares para la población hispana.Objetivo: validar al español hispanoamericano del CRQ autoadministrado, en una gama amplia de enfermedades pulmonares crónicas.Materiales y métodos: estudio de corte transversal de validación de una escala que contó con adaptación cultural y traducción de la versión original en inglés; para realizar la validación y el análisis factorial se utilizó el criterio de por lo menos 5 personas o participantes por cada ítem ...

Regarding the SPC, in the literature, there is limited information, there are only a few studies and clinical trials, but with the development of new and better tools for diagnosis and innovative cancer treatments, we will probably face this challenge increasingly often.

However, there is conflicting evidence regarding its role in bronchial symptoms and asthma exacerbations. Objective To analyze the clinical effects of AD in terms of lung function, systemic and inhaled steroid use, the frequency of acute asthma exacerbations, and adverse effects in patients with NERD and asthma. Methodology We identified randomized clinical trials (RCTs) from PubMed, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and EBSCO. We also searched the RCT references for additional studies. Studies comparing AD to placebo in patients with a previous history of pulmonary symptoms triggered by ASA or other NSAIDs or with a positive provocation test to ASA were included. Primary results Five studies with 210 participants with NERD were included in this review. The study duration ranged from 3 to 6 months. Overall, the risk of bias...

Research paper thumbnail of Unsuspected foreign-body aspiration in adult patient with status asthmaticus: Case report

This situation requires multidisciplinary and systematic approach from the medical and surgical team, in order to achieve complete resolution maintaining airway permeability. Presentation of case: This is a 49 y/o man who presented with a severe asthma attack, in whom an unsuspected foreign body in the inferior airway was diagnosed, which was possibly the result of aspiration during the initial emergency care, causing worsening of the already critical condition. Discussion: We described the clinical course, radiologic and endoscopic findings, and outcome of the patient, highlighting the importance of considering the possibility of a foreign body in the airway, when there is no improvement in refractory status asthmaticus. This is particularly important in a university hospital. Moreover, the implementation of checklists when invasive procedures are performed can avoid loss of material, preventing iatrogenic aspiration events. Conclusion: Foreign body aspirations may remain undetected due to lack of suspicion, especially in adults, in whom they can cause chronic symptoms, or worsen chronic respiratory conditions turning them into more complex diseases. This cause must be considered in the differential diagnosis of refractory status asthmaticus.

Típicamente afecta la vía respiratoria de conducción y la variedad papilar tiende a invadir los bronquios. Los síntomas más frecuentes son causados por el efecto mecánico en la vía aérea inferior e incluyen tos, hemoptisis y neumonías recurrentes. Se expone el caso de un paciente con un tumor escamocelular bien diferenciado de pulmón con comportamiento atípico y agresivo, compromiso de la vía aérea, la pleura, la reja costal y los tejidos blandos del tórax hasta la piel; además de sus manifestaciones clínicas, estudios diagnósticos y la revisión de la literatura al respecto. El carcinoma escamocelular pulmonar forma parte de los tumores de células no pequeñas del pulmón. Es una neoplasia maligna típicamente productora de queratina que se diferencia por la histología y los estudios de inmunohistoquímica tiene una prevalencia mayor en los fumadores o exfumadores los c...
