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 ...

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 ...
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 ...
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...
CONCLUSIONS: A reduced FEV1/FVC may be a normal finding in younger-to-middle age male subjects with an FVC% value above the mean predicted value, especially when terminal flow is within the normal range. airway obstruction asthma chronic obstructive pulmonary disease expiratory flow lung function ...
