[Diving and asthma: Literature review].
Published in Revue de pneumologie clinique
Scuba diving has long been contraindicated for asthmatics. Recommendations are evolving towards authorisation under certain conditions. Our objective was to review the literature on the risks associated with scuba diving among asthmatics and about recommendations on this subject. We used the MEDLINE and LiSSa databases, until June 2018, in French, ...
[Tobacco smoking and stopping smoking interventions in patients with TB].
Published in Revue de pneumologie clinique
Tuberculosis and tobacco smoking are two major public health problems causing significant mortality worldwide. Tobacco smoke increases the risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, severe pulmonary or extrapulmonary TB, and death of TB. In emerging countries, quitting smoking is one way to control the TB epidemic. Compared with non-smokers, smo...
[Ageing with cystic fibrosis: Classical and emerging comorbidities in adults with cystic fibrosis].
Published in Revue de pneumologie clinique
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease with pulmonary involvement being predominant and often leading to respiratory failure and premature death. Non-pulmonary complications related to CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) defect are numerous and account for significant morbidity (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, diabetes, CF-related l...
[Bronchoscopic treatment of bronchopleural fistula].
Published in Revue de pneumologie clinique
Bronchopleural fistula is an uncommon complication occurring especially following lung resection (pneumonectomy) and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. The treatment is surgical but some studies reported bronchoscopic treatment. Localization and size of the fistula may indicate different endoscopic procedures. This overview describ...
[IHC, FISH, CISH, NGS in non-small cell lung cancer: What changes in the biomarker era?]
...Published in Revue de pneumologie clinique
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in France, with about 30,000 deaths per year. The overwhelming majority (90 %) are tobacco-related. The prognosis is dark but great therapeutic advances have been made with the development of targeted therapies first and then immunotherapy afterwards. These medications are conditioned to the express...
[Bronchiectasis imaging].
Published in Revue de pneumologie clinique
Bronchiectasis are defined as an irreversible focal or diffuse dilatation of the bronchi and can be associated with significant morbidity. The prevalence is currently increasing, probably due to an increased use of thoracic computed tomography (CT). Indeed, the diagnosis relies on imaging and chest CT is the gold standard technique. The main diagno...
[Acute pulmonary and non-pulmonary complications in adults with cystic fibrosis].
Published in Revue de pneumologie clinique
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease primarily affecting the lungs, which could lead to chronic respiratory failure and premature death. CF patients are usually followed in specialized centers, but may present outside of these centers when they seek care for acute pulmonary and/or non-pulmonary complications. The aim of this paper is to provid...
[Malignant pleural mesothelioma: The role of surgery].
Published in Revue de pneumologie clinique
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and highly aggressive disease, whose incidence is increasing. Asbestos is the primary causal agent. Knowledge about MPM has evolved. Thoracoscopy is essential for diagnosis of MPM. It allows performing pleural biopsies, to study the extent of the disease and to relieve dyspnea. The pathological diagnos...
