@jaicabajar Pwede ka na mag flag ceremony sa unit niyo. Haha

[Kit Medina @K1t0ne]

@KingsResp @instagram Seems like B?
Cysts not that big, but features of GGOs in compatible areas with no subpleural sparing or subpleural honeycombing. Tbh clinical scenario compatible with possible sjogren influenced the answer.

@KingsResp I'd agree with others who said E. Max work and VO2 not reached, but might be due to respiratory limitation. For IC to drop (TV+IRV), the FRC must be increasing like in trapping. Usually TV increases by getting IRV and ERV in CPET.
Maybe looking at exercise tidal loop would help

[Kit Medina @K1t0ne]

@KingsResp Thank you for adding histopath! Great job and hope you'll continue with the questions!

Hard toss B vs E since the HE and GMS? seems to show hyphal elements. Maybe E since description of CT has central necreosis with thick wall cavity vs fungus ball? Risk factors are there too

@KingsResp Seems like B is a good option.
Based on good study by Pierre-Francois group (CAPE COD trial 2023), steroids may be beneficial for patients with severe CAP, may have mortality benefit.

The goal of asthma treatment should be personalized for each patient, aiming for the patient’s best possible long-term outcomes. This includes both long-term symptom control and long-term risk reduction. Assessing recent symptom control is not enough. https://t.co/GSJlSZmSTo
