Sociodemographic, behavioral, and life-course risk factors for tuberculosis in older Indian adults: evidence from a nationally representative survey
While tuberculosis (TB) propagation is multifactorial, the intersection of biological vulnerability (undernutrition) and cumulative life-course adversities is increasingly recognized as a crucial modifiable determinant. This study aimed to identify the independent biological, socioeconomic…

Treatment outcomes and factors associated with unfavorable outcomes among drug-resistant tuberculosis patients treated with a bedaquiline-based oral regimen
The treatment success rate for drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) in Indonesia remains below the national target. Identifying factors associated with unfavorable treatment outcomes is essential to inform more targeted interventions. This retrospective study analyzed medical records of patients…

Diagnostic yield and etiological spectrum of medical thoracoscopy-guided pleural biopsy in various exudative pleural effusions: experience from a rural tertiary center in north India
Exudative pleural effusions still today remain a frequent diagnostic challenge. Approximately 20-40% of cases remain undiagnosed after a pleural fluid study and closed pleural biopsy. Medical thoracoscopy (MT), a new tool, enables direct visualization and targeted pleural biopsy, substantially…

Effects of hydromorphone and dexmedetomidine on diaphragmatic function in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease receiving noninvasive ventilation
Sedative and analgesic agents may negatively influence diaphragmatic performance. This study sought to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEXM) and hydromorphone (HM) on diaphragmatic function among patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) undergoing…

Non-invasive risk stratification of pulmonary hypertension in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a screening approach from a prospective observational study
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a major complication of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), but its detection remains challenging because right-heart catheterization is invasive and echocardiography has limited accuracy in advanced lung disease. We assessed the feasibility of a multiparametric…

Impact of self-management interventions initiated during hospitalization on inhaler adherence and functional outcomes in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a randomized controlled trial
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains a leading global health burden, with acute exacerbations accelerating functional decline and impairing quality of life. Reduced inhaler adherence is a well-recognized contributor to exacerbations and poorer outcomes in COPD. While self-management…
