Interpretation. These tests provide evidence of impairment of ventilatory function; they do not point to specific disease processes. Abnormal test results may show either an obstructive or a restrictive pattern; sometimes both are present. The Obstructive Pattern.This pattern occurs when there is airway...

Clinically, the most common abnormalities of pulmonary function tests in LAM patients are airflow obstruction. Also, activation of mTORC1 in tumor cells results in the accumulation of hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α), and increases expression of HIF-responsive genes including vascular ...
Pulmonary function test metrics, reflective of small airway disease, exhibited a continual decline; specifically, %FEF50%, %FEF75%, and %FEF25–75% diminished from 7.9% to 7.0%, 5.7% to 4.6%, and 6.8% to 5.4%, respectively. Conclusions This case highlighted an instance of autosomal ...
Pulmonary function test results are nonspecific and generally parallel the severity of parenchymal involvement. A restrictive ventilatory impairment can develop in patients with ankylosing spondylitis because of either fusion of the costovertebral joints and ankylosis of the thoracic spine or anterior chest...
