Evaluation of the left ventricle in patients with COPD and nocturnal hypoxemia
Conclusion We observed association between severe REM sleep hypoxemia and echocardiographic parameters indicating increased LV mass in individuals with COPD and significant nocturnal hypoxemia. This suggests that this subgroup of individuals may benefit from an echocardiographic eva luation of the left ventricle. (Source: Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia)

Characterization of the severity of dyspnea in patients with bronchiectasis: correlation with clinical, functional, and tomographic aspects
Conclusions: Patients with bronchiectasis and dyspnea that was more severe had greater functional impairment. The measurement of lung volumes complemented the spirometry data. Because bronchiectasis is a complex, heterogeneous condition, a single variable does not seem to be sufficient to provide an overall characterization of the clinical condition.RESUMO Objetivo: Caracterizar uma popula ção de portadores de bronquiectasias e correlacionar aspectos clÃnicos, radiológicos e funcionais com a gravidade da dispneia. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado em adultos, portadores de bronquiectasias confirmadas por TCAR, c...

Impact of a respiratory ICU rotation on resident knowledge and confidence in managing mechanical ventilation
Conclusions: We developed a competency-based test to assess knowledge of MV among residents before and after an rotation in a respiratory ICU. Resident performance increased significantly after the rotation, as did their confidence in caring for patients on MV.RESUMO Objetivo: Desenvolver e aplicar um teste baseado em compet ências para avaliar o aprendizado de residentes de clÃnica médica em estágio na UTI respiratória de um hospital universitário. Métodos: Desenvolvemos um teste com 19 questões de múltipla escolha sobre conhecimento em ventilação mecânica (VM) e 4 questões de autoavaliação sobre o nÃv e...

Smoking history: relationships with inflammatory markers, metabolic markers, body composition, muscle strength, and cardiopulmonary capacity in current smokers
Conclusions: In this sample of smokers, smoking history correlated positively with the triglyceride level, the monocyte count, and waist circumference. The prevalence of metabolic disease was highest in those who smoked more than 20 cigarettes/day.RESUMO Objetivo: Verificar a rela ção da carga tabágica com marcadores inflamatórios, marcadores metabólicos, composição corporal, força muscular e capacidade cardiorrespiratória em tabagistas. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 65 tabagistas de ambos os sexos (idade: 18-60 anos). Todos os participantes foram avaliados em tr ês dias não consecutivos quanto ao históric...

High resolution computed tomography patterns in interstitial lung disease (ILD): prevalence and prognosis
Conclusion IPF, CHP, and CTD-ILD were the main differential diagnoses in patients with HRCT patterns of typical, probable and indeterminate UIP. Patients with HRCT typical UIP pattern were m ore likely to die or had lung transplantation in the follow-up. (Source: Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia)

Azithromycin administered for acute bronchiolitis may have a protective effect on subsequent wheezing
Conclusion Azithromycin significantly reduces the risk of subsequent wheezing between 0 and 3 months after hospital admission due to acute bronchiolitis irrespective of the presence of respiratory syncytial virus. (Source: Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia)

Symptom variability over the course of the day in patients with stable COPD in Brazil: a real-world observational study
Conclusions: Dyspnea was more common in the morning than at night. Having morning or nighttime symptoms was associated with greater daytime symptom severity. Symptom intensity was strongly associated with poor quality of life and with the frequency of exacerbations, although it was weakly associated with airflow limitation.RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar os sintomas em diferentes momentos do dia em pacientes com DPOC. M étodos: Estudo observacional multicêntrico de corte transversal em oito centros brasileiros. Foram avaliados os sintomas matinais, diurnos e noturnos em pacientes com DPOC estável. Resultados: Foram incluÃ...
