Mashup Score: 4Roadmap for Advancing a New Subspecialty in Pulmonary Medicine Devoted to Chronic Respiratory Failure - 10 day(s) ago
Exponential expansion of medical knowledge since the mid-1950s has drive n progressive subspecialization of medicine, thereby enabling physicians to achieve and maintain mastery across the scope of their individual practices (1). We contend that the time has come to formalize a new subspecialty devoted to the care of people with chronic respiratory failure. Beginning with the polio epidemic of the early 1950s and accelerating to the present, extraordinary advances in technology for long-term mechanically

Mashup Score: 3Nonantibiotic Management of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Non–Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis: Natural or Nonsense? - 12 day(s) ago
Antimicrobial resistance is projected to escalate into a global crisis in the coming decades because development of traditional antibiotics has stalled. Increasingly, “nonantibiotic” approaches have been proposed and tested against challenging infections. A particularly important target is pulmonary infection caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), which feature high rates of intrinsic and acquired antibiotic resistance. Available antibiotics are marginally effective against these opportunistic

Mashup Score: 8The Exacerbation, Not the Patient, Determines Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation Care Seeking - 13 day(s) ago
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are common. Most exacerbations are treated outside the hospital (1). Short courses of antibiotics (2) and oral corticosteroids (3) have been the mainstay of treatment for more than 30 years. Unfortunately, treatment failure is common, with around 30% of patients treated in primary care needing retreatment within a month (4) and up to 64% of patients treated in the hospital needing readmission within 12 months (5). Perhaps because of the frequency
