Cardiac arrhythmias in patients with bronchial asthma
Introduction. According to modern data, bronchial asthma (BA) is an independent risk factor for the development of cardiac arrhythmias (CA), and the use of long-acting β2-agonists (LABA) in basic therapy may further increase the risks of CA.Aim. To study

Marked Reversibility of Functional Small Airway Disease Following Reduction of Hazardous Inhalational Exposure: A PRM CT Case Report. [PDF]
Serial parametric response mapping (PRM)‐computed tomography revealed dynamic changes in PRM‐functional small airway disease with occupational exposure, highlighting PRM's utility for detecting and monitoring small airway disease. ABSTRACT We report a case illustrating the role of parametric response mapping (PRM) in detecting and monitoring small ...
