Restrictive lung diseases are a diverse set of pulmonary disorders defined by restrictive patterns on spirometry; these restrictive lung patterns as shown on a spirometer are the revelation of a dysfunction in the respiratory ability of the lung(s) which is caused by restrictive lung disease. Restri...
Restrictive lung disease may be seen in patients with AS. Mild reductions in TLC and VC may be related to disease activity and duration, to spinal and rib cage immobility, or to concomitant kyphosis.100,105 Kyphosis may develop in up to 50% of patients with long-standing AS due to either...
categories using the forced expiratory volume in 1s (FEV 1 ), the forced vital capacity (FVC), the FEV 1 /FVC ratio and the presence of respiratory symptoms: severe obstruction, moderate obstruction, mild obstruction, respiratory symptoms only, restrictive lung disease and no lung disease. We...

CONCLUSIONS: The restrictive spirometric pattern identifies a pulmonary condition that is distinguishable from obstructive lung disease and is associated with an increased risk of life-threatening comorbidities. 展开 关键词: Humans Lung Diseases Female Male ...
Seven patients died of pulmonary or systemic infection, and one patient died due to relapse of the primary disease. Conclusion Severe restrictive lung defect could develop in selected cases in the late-phase after HSCT and could be a unique clinical entity with specific radiographical findings....
When airflow obstruct, forced expiratory prolong, theFEV1.0andFEV1.0/FVC %reduced. When ventilation is restricted, the compliance of the lung and thorax reduced. ThereforeVCdecreases. The vast majority ofVCexhales in a very short time lead to the increase ofFEV1.0 /VC[28-31].FEV1.0/ VCincr...
In patients with coexisting restrictive lung disease, the decrease in FEV(1) can overestimate the degree of obstruction. We hypothesize that adjusting the FEV(1) for the decrease in total lung capacity (TLC) results in a more appropriate grading of the severity of obstruction. METHODS: We ...
The aim of the study was to assess prospectively the effectiveness and feasibility of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with restrictive lung diseases. Methods In a prospective, nonrandomized, noncontrolled study, patients with an established diagnosis of restrictive lung disease (RLD) participated in...
