Keum-Ju Choi, Hyo-lim Hong, Eun Jin Kim
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2021;84(2):125-133.   Published online December 28, 2020
Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can manifest in a range of symptoms, including both asymptomatic systems which appear nearly non-existent to the patient, all the way to the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Specifically, COVID-19–associated pneumonia develops into ARDS due to the rapid progression of hypoxia, and although arterial blood gas analysis can assist in halting this deterioration,...

Seul Lee, Heock Lee, Dong Hyun Lee, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2021;84(2):134-139.   Published online December 17, 2020
Background: Intrapleural urokinase is one of the most widely used fibrinolytic agents in the treatment of complicated parapneumonic effusion (CPPE). However, little research has been performed on the optimal urokinase dosage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment efficacy of half dose urokinase compared with conventional dose urokinase. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 92 patients with CPPE or empyema...

The Effects of Simultaneous Pulmonary Rehabilitation during Thoracic Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Malignant Diseases
Myeong Geun Choi, Hyang Yi Lee, Si Yeol Song, et al.
Tuberc Respir Dis. 2021;84(2):148-158.   Published online February 10, 2021
Background: Radiotherapy is a common treatment option for lung or esophageal cancer, particularly when surgery is not feasible for patients with poor lung function. However, radiotherapy can affect pulmonary function and thereby induce pneumonitis or pneumonia, which can be fatal in patients with respiratory impairment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if reductions in pulmonary function after radiotherapy...
