Using spirometry to rule out restriction in patients with concomitant low forced vital capacity and obstructive pattern. Different formulas have been proposed to exclude restriction based on spirometry, however none of them have specifically tested the patients whose spiromet... Imran,Khalid,Zachary,.....
Spirometry, plethysmography and haemoglobin-corrected diffusing capacity was assessed at baseline, after 3 months, 1, 2 and 3 years. Natural ageing was accounted for by considering all lung function parameters in terms of %predicted values using the most recent reference values for women up to 80...
Emphysema can be detected using advanced processing of thoracic CT scans in smokers with normal spirometry. The COPDGene study and others showed that most GOLD stage 1 “mild COPD” smokers had evidence of emphysema (>5%) or airway thickening on quantitative CT-scan analysis23,24. However, the ...
Initial office spirometry is recommended, and home peak flow monitoring should be considered. For women who have asthma attacks during labor, fetal monitoring is considered essential by the NAEPP. Therapy should be based on a step approach.15 Mild intermittent asthma is best managed with inhaled ...
Methods: Lung volumes and diffusion were studied in individuals with concomitant spirometry. Patients with restriction on total lung capacity (TLC) were excluded, as were repeat tests on the same patient. A total of 13,302 subjects were divided into three groups: (1) normal FEV1/FVC and FEV ...
Methods used: Twenty-three girls with AIS with an average age of 13.5 years (range, 10 to 16 years) and an average scolitic curve of 27 degrees Cobb (range, 20 to 45) were studied by basal spirometry and dynamic ventilatory parameters during a maximal exercise tolerance test. Similar ...
were collected. We aimed to investigate the long-term impact of maternal copper, calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc levels in the second trimester on mild thinness among 6-year-old preschoolers, and the modifying effect of small for gestational age (SGA), within the Chinese population. Multiple...
