I'm a respiratory physiotherapist from Belgium, I love this video, great explanation!

I have asthma and used lots of antibiotics for lung infections which made my lungs weak. Plus I smoked which obviously is not good for asthmatics. But I did give it up. I got aspergillosis and my specialist put me on 50mg of prednisone which he reduced to 25mg and I was on prednisone for such a long time. Steroids did no good at all. Still had the aspergillosis for a long time. I knew I still had it because I used to cough up something that felt like cotton wool plugs. I finally got rid of it by accident. I took a capsule that was an anti fungal that is supposed to get rid of thrush in the vagina. I coughed up a lot of very bright green phlegm and ever since, no recurrance of the aspergillosis. I think I contracted it because I am a keen gardener and opened potting mix without a mask which I have since been told is a big no no for people with weak lungs. I have been diagnosed with bronchiectasis and fibrosis which I have had since 2005. I take ventolin, seretide and spiriva every morning. I am also combating it with exercising and clean eating which is helping a lot though it is very hard for me to breathe when I walk uphill. Not too bad on a flat surface. I also did an 8 week stint at the local hospital doing pulmonary rehabilitation. Guys if you are going to talk to your patients, PLEASE explain in detail what can happen to them if they don't do what you ask of them. I was never told what could happen with the excessive chest infections and when I was told I had bronchiectasis, the doctor never told me how serious that was. He didn't explain what bronchiectasis was. I have had to research all my information myself. Thanks for reading this rant.

U saved me in my final days before the exam 😍 love u from Jordan 🇯🇴

Medical knowledge plus words of wisdom/encouragement, PRICELESS!

I can't thank you enough for the detailed explanation. Definitely watching more

You make the medicine lecture so easy

I was just diagnosed with this officially about 15mins ago. I've had Hyper Ig-E Syndrome since birth and have 40 years experience coping with it well enough to have a somewhat normal (but active!) life. The abruptness in which an allergic response to the aspergillus triggers an asthma attack is scary, and nebulizer treatments do NOT help. My oxygen saturation tanks within minutes despite meditative breathing exercises and medication. This video was hugely informative and is thoroughly appreciated! Thank you!

I have my exams in a month n your videos are my staple while i have lunch or breakfast. Kudos to you man!... Love from India❤️

Thank you soo much doctor for these great lectures.

Wow you r from Egypt.. amazing waiting for the nxt pulmonology lecture

You are nothing but awesome!!! thank you for your perfectly explained videos

Perfect presentation !!!

ربنا يبارك فيك ويجازيك كل خير أسلوب حضرتك تحفة. شكراً جداً

That was so informative and precise and easy-getting. Medical student from Iraq. Love and respect for all Egyptian people. People once said: Books are written in Egypt, printed in Lebanon, and read in Baghdad. Well now you (Egypt) are writing and I (Baghdad) am reading. May be we have got ridden of the lebanese guy HAHAHA (Just kidding we all are brothers)

Now and just now, i confirm the theory that say the Egyptions are the best teachers i ever experienced.❣

I have been trying to figure out what the illness my mother is suffering from for the past year. The dr would diagnose and prescribe antibiotics every time. She would get marginally better then within a couple weeks hardly able to breathe, constantly coughing and exhausted. Recently she began coughing blood, became extremely swollen to the point that her eyes were almost swollen shut. With the extensive list of antibiotics she had been prescribed including clendamycin hcl, and the length of time she had been suffering with little or no improvement, it was apparent that it was neither bacterial nor viral. So I began to look into pulminary illnesses caused by fungi. Chronic Pulminary Aspergillosis fit her symptoms perfectly and I began persuading her to have her dr investigate it. Her dr was not interested and once again she was prescibed antibiotics... One month later she was so ill that she had to go to hospital. An initial xray was all they needed to diagnose pneumonia. they gave her anti-inflamatories and 3 different antibiotics. By day 2 she was still in the same boat, I began pushing again for tests for aspergillosis because of how every peice fit together perfectly. Including her poorly maintained farm environment (chickens, goats, rabbits) that she is unable to keep up with on her own. I asked repeatedly for days to get a ct scan and biopsy. The third day they found orthopneumovirus in her sputum culture and declared it the cause. Previous days sputum samples had not yielded any such findings yet they were convinced this was her only ailment. I was told that they had not but would definitely get another culture to check for possible fungi/mold. I was handled. By day 5, she was worse although they believed her swelling was decreased. I showed them recent pictures of her to show that she looked seriously 30-40lbs heavier than her normal 130lb self. I explained that extreme cases of aspergillosis causes bloody sputum and then enters the bloodstream and causes massive swelling before it becomes fatal... That seemed to finally sink in. A ct scan and brochoscopy/biopsy were ordered. The CT scan showed 2 seperate ball shaped masses consistant with aspergillosis. When she went in for the bronchoscopy, the performing dr (5th dr involved) said to her in an extremely hateful manner "There is no way we can do this! Your breathing is not strong enough! It is definitely cancer!" and he simply walked out... Long story short, one mass was constricting artery into the lung from the heart so a stint was placed on day 6, brochoscopy/biopsy completed on day 8. Today is day 9, results from biopsy will not be back for 2-3 more days. The 5th dr again today said "It is definitely cancer, there is no type of fungus that looks like this. We have not tested for it because there is no need. I know what cancer looks like when i see it. What medical proffession are you in???" he then scoffed at me when I tried to get him to look at the 10 plus images of ct scans from patients with aspergillosis that looked almost identical to my mothers. He proceeded to say that she was probably going to die and that the radiation treatment they have been offering since day 6 is the only thing that may save her... Keep in mind, I had to spell aspergillosis for him on day 3, they do not have the results back from the biopsy to determine what type of cancer it may even be and the hospital in particular is an enormous "Cancer Institute". I am trying to find a dr in the Eastern United States that is experienced in this field. I am not in any medical field. I am just a son trying to save his mother. Any help would be beyond welcome!

very god videos for medical student

Best medicine vdos😍

Itraconazole is possibly causing swelling on my face lips and throat and is making swallowing anything very difficult. Should i stop taking itraconazole?

Nice videos!!

I am afraid I have a kind of fungus infection in my lungs/body. Chronique fatigue and must have developed a long time. My eosinophils are at zero...third time in a row when they checked (within last year). There's mold in my flat. Doctor laughs and sais it's rare but I took symbicort for my lungs so long and the Sputum looks...like someone should investigate it. Any explanation for no eosinophils at all? Edit: there's also a hemolysis going on that made last measure unreliable+ high leukocytes (13000 normal value for me and they raise to 24000 in weeks when I feel very sick and not just sick) ..I look sick pale af and that's not just the I haven't seen the sun in a while 😥 my doctor's went on vacation and left me with that.. I guess they saw worse values. I hope you read this somehow you seem like you could help at least solve the zero eosinophils question.

am from uganda...love your videos

Few months ago i had blood spots on the places i used to itch. I also have Asthma. I went to the doctor in germany and she is super stupid she just gave me a lotion and told me that she doesn't know what is going on because she doesn't see anything on my skin and no tests could be done because she can't isolate the problem 🙆‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
