At least one of the following COPD risk factors was present in 77% of the subjects: chronic respiratory symptoms; exposure to tobacco smoke, biomass smoke or dust in the workplace; or a previous diagnosis of asthma, COPD, emphysema or chronic bronchitis. Results: Although the positive ...
Asthmatic patients (n = 15) were defined by seasonal wheezing, peak flow variability of >15% with response to broncho- dilators, with or without an abnormal metha- choline PC20 (all except two subjects had a PC20 of <6 mg/ml and these two subjects had definite evidence of airway ...

Patients admitted with severe acute asthma having inclusion criteria were the study population. Among 120 study population 60 were in salbutamol with magnesium sulphate group and 60 were in salbutamol with normal saline group. The study finding showed that peak flow at baseline was similar in two ...
21 The diagnosis of asthma was obtained by questionnaire, with several subjects who reported past diagnoses of asthma, such as during childhood. It is noteworthy that air-flow obstruction and bronchial hyper-responsiveness can persist long after a clinical remission of asthma.17 Also, the results ...
Potential participants were excluded from the study if they had musculoskeletal problems, chronic diseases, epilepsy, asthma, heart disease, or diabetes. The characteristics of the participants are presented in Table 2. 2.1. Measurements We used a TBF-300 body composition analyzer to measure body ...
Exclusion criteria were: age less than 18 years, asthma, sick-sinus syndrome, II or III atrio-ventricular blocks, long QT syndrome, hypotension, and heart failure. All patients underwent both non-invasive assessment of CFR and TIMI frame count evaluation of coronary contrast runoff in the LAD....
School nurses need to be empowered to address the large unmet public health needs of children and adolescents. As polio vaccination campaigns showed, school health programs are an efficient and effective way to care for children, including preventing and treating mild asthma exacerbations (often caused...
