Risk of Tuberculosis in Pregnancy: A National, Primary Care Based Cohort and Self-Controlled Case Series Study.

Conclusions The incidence of TB diagnosis is significantly increased post-partum. Although we did not find an increase during pregnancy, the post-partum incidence may reflect an increase during pregnancy given diagnostic, immunological and administrative delays. Clinicians' awareness should be improved and the effectiveness of public health policy measures such as targeted screening of pregnant and post-partum women in high-risk groups should be evaluated.

Work of Breathing and Respiratory Drive in Obesity

ABSTRACTObesity, particularly severe central obesity, affects respiratory physiology both at rest and during exercise. Reductions in expiratory reserve volume, functional residual capacity, respiratory system compliance, and impaired respiratory system mechanics produce a restrictive ventilatory defect. Low functional residual capacity and reductions in expiratory reserve volume increase the risk of expiratory flow limitation and airway closure during quiet breathing. Consequently, obesity may cause expiratory flow limitation and the development of intrinsic positive end‐expiratory pressure, especially in the supine position. This increases the work of breathing by imposing a threshold load on the respiratory muscles leading to dyspnea. Marked reductions in expiratory reserve volume may ...
