PULMONARY NODULE:
Evaluation is guided by size, assessment of probability of malignancy, available diagnostic testing, patient comorbidities, & patient preferences. Focal pulmonary lesions > 3 cm in diameter are called lung masses & considered malignant until proven otherwise.

Al afectar la permeabilidad epitelial, el reflujo GE ERGE expone mas la submucosa de vías aereas a alérgenos y patógenos, aumentando el riesgo de inflamación y exacerbaciones. Ello sugiere la necesidad del manejo terapéutico de ERGE en asma grave 2 https://t.co/6VRnt7JQhi
Lower FEV1, FVC and DLCO were associated with lower exercise capacity, as well as oxygen uptake efficiency slope and ventilatory efficiency. In addition, lower total and peripheral pulmonary blood vessel volume were associated with lower peak V′O2. https://t.co/biXg2hawcB
Bi-directional crosstalk between the gut and the lungs may contribute to systemic inflammation, exacerbations and comorbidities in patients with COPD. However, the gut-lung axis remains largely unexplored. https://t.co/JptYqBUIsH

Instead, to reduce the risk of severe exacerbations, and to control symptoms, all adults and adolescents with #asthma should be treated with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) containing therapy see https://t.co/McWZydy4BT & https://t.co/8fPUE0pBA2
Eosinophils play and important role in COPD. Although their role is yet to be fully elucidated, they can be used to influence clinical decisions and are a helpful biomarker in the management and treatment of COPD. @MKarakioulaki https://t.co/eyM22et0xn
Dada la ratio “infectados/hospitalizados” en VACUNADOS creo q es momento d valorar NO realizar test masivos a los contactos estrechos #COVID19 asintomáticos o síntomas leves, sino extremar precauciones.
El resto de enfermos y #AtencionPrimaria lo agradecerá

@internistaneumo Pero de eso a nada, esta claro que una protección al 100% es difícil de conseguir y en paises con sistemas de salud mas estable incluso se presenta penuria. Creo que ningún país estaba preparado para la situación que se vive ahora
