Particulate matter is associated with sputum culture conversion in patients with culture-positive tuberculosis

TL;DR: It is observed that a 1 μg/m3 increase in particulate matter of ≤10 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10) resulted in 4% higher odds of TB, and chronic exposure to ≥50 μg/ m3 PM10 may prolong the sputum culture conversion of TB patients with spUTum-positive cultures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cigarette smoke is a risk factor for severity and treatment outcome in patients with culture-positive tuberculosis.

TL;DR: Longer periods of treatment may be required for TB patients who are current smokers, as current smoking was associated with an increase in treatment days required for cultures to convert from positive to negative.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel biomarker analysis of pleural effusion enhances differentiation of tuberculous from malignant pleural effusion.

TL;DR: Five biomarkers (IL-1β, IP-10, IFN-γ, IL-13, and basic fibroblast growth factor) have a potential diagnostic role in differentiating TPE from MPE, particularly in lung cancer-related MPE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associations of autophagy with lung diffusion capacity and oxygen saturation in severe COPD: effects of particulate air pollution

TL;DR: Autophagy may be an important regulator of the PM10-related pathogenesis of COPD, which could cause deterioration in the lung diffusion capacity and oxygen saturation.
