Sputum extracellular DNA (eDNA) is associated with disease severity in asthma and COPD and therefore emerging as a potential therapeutic target. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 10?days of recombinant human DNase (rhDNase) treatment of eDNA-high asthma and COPD on sputum eDNA levels, neutrophil-related inflammation, lung function and symptoms.

Jepang saat ini tengah menghadapi wabah pneumonia yang semakin meluas, memicu kekhawatiran di kalangan masyarakat setempat hingga wisatawan.

Severe asthma involves a persistent inflammation of the airways that is associated with a greater risk of exacerbations. Exacerbations are associated with a higher lung function decline over time. The prevention of lung function decline could become a strategy for disease modification, and this could be more likely to happen in patients with an earlier therapeutic approach. Thus, this study means to analyse the effect of asthma duration in clinical outcomes such as lung function in patients from the REDES study. REDES was an observational real-world study that assessed the effectiveness and safety of mepolizumab 100?mg s.c. every 4?weeks for 12?months in 318 patients with severe asthma in Spain.

Pneumonia kembali menjadi perhatian setelah aktris Taiwan Barbie Hsu meninggal gara-gara penyakit tersebut. Ternyata di Indonesia, lonjakan kasus pneumonia juga semakin mengkhawatirkan.

COPD has high mortality, compounded by comorbid cardiovascular disease. We investigated two ECG markers, Cardiac Infarction Injury Score (CIIS) and P pulmonale, as prognostic tools for adverse cardiopulmonary events in COPD.

Ternyata infeksi paru-paru tidak hanya bisa disebabkan oleh virus atau bakteri saja. Histoplasmosis adalah infeksi paru-paru yang disebabkan oleh spora jamur bernama Histoplasma capsulatum. Spora jamur ini sering ditemukan di tanah atau pada kotoran burung dan kelelawar, dan bisa masuk ke dalam tubuh bila kamu tidak sengaja menghirupnya melalui udara. Sebagian besar kasus histoplasmosis memang tidak memerlukan penanganan khusus. Namun, bagi orang dengan daya tahan tubuh yang rendah, penyakit ini bisa menyebabkan masalah yang serius.
