Late Breaking Abstract - Predictive factors of microbiological negativization from Atypical Pulmonary Mycobacteriosis in a cohort from southeastern Italy

Vitaliano Nicola Quaranta, Manuela Rollo, Viviana Turchiarelli, Vincenza Giorgio et autres

Introduction: Pulmonary diseases caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria have a lower incidence than those caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis but are no less worrying. Fundamental for recovering is to obtain the microbiological negativization of the sputum culture test for the search for atypical mycobacteriosis1. …

Reduction of Sniff Nasal Inspiratory Pressure (SNIP) as an Early Indicator of the Need of Enteral Nutrition in Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Stefano Zoccolella, Rosa Capozzo, Vitaliano Nicola Quaranta, Giorgio Castellana et autres

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the standard procedure for feeding severely dysphagic patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It is associated with prolonged survival and improvement in quality of life. Nasal inspiratory pressure during a sniff (SNIP) is a respiratory test used …

The importance of maintaining the same order of performance of lung function and SNIP tests in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Paola Pierucci, Nicolino Ambrosino, Michela Dimitri, Vito Liotino et autres

Objective: Sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP), a useful tool for the assessment of diaphragm function in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is usually performed together with lung function tests. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether SNIP results are …

The association of patient-reported symptoms and clinical and lung function parameters in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in stable phase

Maria Rosaria Vulpi, Vito Liotino, Silvano Dragonieri, Enrico Buonamico et autres

Objectives Few ‘real-life’ studies were conducted on the relationship between functional and clinical features in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We described the correlation between clinical and functional respiratory parameters in one-year follow-up observational study during stable phase COPD and regular inhalation …

Nasal cytology analysis in stable COPD patients

Maria Rosaria Vulpi, Michela Dimitri, Enrico Buonamico, Vitaliano Nicola Quaranta et autres

Introduction: No clear relationship between Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and nasal inflammation has been demonstrated. Some studies showed controversial results. Aims: To evaluate nasal cytology in stable COPD patients (pts) and to compare these data with exacerbations and severity of disease. …

Metabolic Syndrome negatively affects pulmonary function in COPD patients

Vito Liotino, Maria Rosaria Vulpi, Anna Castrovilli, Cosimo Tortorella et autres

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are closely related, but the nature of this link remains unclear. Recently, the interplay among vitamin D, insulin resistance and smoking has been proposed. Aim: To evaluate the relationship between metabolic parameters …

Role of training in SNIP maneuvers in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis patients

Michela Dimitri, Paola Pierucci, Vito Liotino, A. M. Caringella et autres

Introduction: Sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP) is reliable for the diaphragm strength assessment in Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients (pts). Recent studies in pts with neuromuscolar diseases demonstrated SNIP improvement after training. Aim: To determine if SNIP can improve after training in …
