Asthma PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD) is commonly associated with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Few information is available on the correlation between aspirin sensitivity and severe asthma. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between aspirin sensitivity and severe asthma and the presence of CRSwNP in a cohort of asthmatic patients. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Jose Castillo, Cesar Picado, Vicente Plaza, Gustavo Rodrigo, Berta Juliá, Joaquim MullolNo Product/Research Disclosure InformationClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT01513837.

Lung Cancer Posters ISESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: In previous studies we have shown that the pretest and posttest diagnostic concordance in Pleural effusions (PE) is moderate (K: 0.55). In terms of sensitivity, the ascites hydrothorax have the greatest concordance (93%) and neoplasic showed very low. Knowing the reasons for this discrepancy in neoplasic pleural effusions may be useful in clinical practice. Objectives: 1. Analyze the overall concordance according to aetiology of the PE. 2. Evaluate the specific concordance in neoplasic pleural effusions and the reasons for the disagreement. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Paola Arrieta Narvaez, Esteban Perez Rodriguez, Carolina Gotera, Rosa Mirambeaux Villalona, Carolina Jurkojc Mohremberger, Patricia Lazo Meneses, Salvador Diaz Lobato, Sagrario Mayoralas Alises, Eva Mañas Baena, Jonathan Cámara Fernández, Patricia Castro Acosta, Maria Galarza Jimenez, Deisy Barrios BarretoNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

COPD Rehabilitation PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) impacts negatively on the quality of life of patients. Several studies have shown that acute exacerbations (AEs) decrease health-related quality of life, pulmonary function and survival of COPD patients. The objective of the present study was to examine the effects of a physical therapy program on quality of life in COPD patients hospitalized due to an acute exacerbation. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Irene Torres-Sánchez, Marie Carmen Valenza, Gerald Valenza-Demet, Irene Cabrera-Martos, María José Flores-Barba, Angela Ruíz-SáezNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

Pleural Disease/Pleural Effusion PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Serum vitamin D has been associated with the risk of developing lung cancer, degree of histological differentiation, tumor metastatic growth in lung cancer cells, response to chemotherapy and survival. Similar evidence exists for other types of cancer. However, the potential role of vitamin D in malignant pleural disease has not been studied to date. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic role of Vitamin D in pleural effusions of various etiologies. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Marios Panagiotou, Andriana Papaioannou, Filia Diamantea, Anna Takou, Styliani Giannakaki, Elvira Markela Antonogiannaki, Sofia Pouriki, Alexandros Kalkanis, George Maropoulos, Emmanuel Kastanakis, Vlasis Polychronopoulos, Konstantinos Kostikas, Napoleon KaragianidisNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
