Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disease with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Current therapies improve symptoms, functional capacity, and, in select cases, survival. Little is known about patient factors that may predict the likelihood of patient-important, clinically relevant responses to therapy such as the 6-min walk distance (6MWD) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
283. Long-acting bronchodilators and arterial stiffness in patients with COPD: a comparison of fluticasone furoate/vilanterol with tiotropium.

来源: Chest. 2014年146卷6期1521-1530页
Increased arterial stiffness as measured by aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) predicts cardiovascular events and mortality and is elevated in patients with COPD. Prior investigation suggests that a long-acting β-agonist (LABA)/inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) lowers aPWV in patients with baseline aPWV ≥ 11 m/s. This study compared the effect of the ICS/LABA fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (FF/VI), 100/25 μg, delivered via the ELLIPTA dry powder inhaler, with tiotropium bromide (TIO), 18 μg, on aPWV.

There is currently little evidence defining the clinical importance of detecting and treating isolated distal DVT (IDDVT). International guidelines vary regarding diagnostic and therapeutic advice. The potential benefits of anticoagulation are unquantified. We sought to evaluate the feasibility of a randomized controlled study within a modern framework and provide a primary outcome point estimate.
285. Novel use of pleural ultrasound can identify malignant entrapped lung prior to effusion drainage.

The presence of entrapped lung changes the appropriate management of malignant pleural effusion from pleurodesis to insertion of an indwelling pleural catheter. No methods currently exist to identify entrapped lung prior to effusion drainage. Our objectives were to develop a method to identify entrapped lung using tissue movement and deformation (strain) analysis with ultrasonography and compare it to the existing technique of pleural elastance (PEL).
286. Effect of oxygen and acetazolamide on nocturnal cardiac conduction, repolarization, and arrhythmias in precapillary pulmonary hypertension and sleep-disturbed breathing.

Aspiration pneumonia is a leading cause of death in people with Parkinson disease (PD). The pathogenesis of these infections is largely attributed to the presence of dysphagia with silent aspiration or aspiration without an appropriate cough response. The goal of this study was to test reflex cough thresholds and associated urge-to-cough (UTC) ratings in participants with PD with and without dysphagia.

来源: Chest. 2014年146卷5期1196-1204页
In ARDS, the extent of fibroproliferative activity on chest high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan has been reported to correlate with poorer short-term outcomes and pulmonary-associated quality of life. However, clinical factors associated with HRCT scan fibroproliferation are incompletely characterized. We questioned if lung compliance assessed at the bedside would be associated with fibroproliferation on HRCT scans obtained during the resolution phase of ARDS.

Pulmonary edema may alter alveolar bacterial clearance and infectivity. Manipulation of fluid balance aimed at reducing fluid overload may, therefore, influence ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) occurrence in intubated patients. The objective of the present study was to assess the impact of a depletive fluid-management strategy on ventilator-associated complication (VAC) and VAP occurrence during weaning from mechanical ventilation.
