Forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1st second and forced expiratory ratio in automobile spray paint workers

International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2016
Background: Automobile industry is a place where workers are exposed to harmful chemicals and toxic substances. Workers engaged in automobile spray painting are at a risk of developing respiratory problems. This is due to exposure to low molecular weight compounds (isocyanates) in spray paints.

Comprehensive exploration of unexplained dyspnoea in subjects with normal ejection fraction and low natriuretic peptides

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 879-887, April 2025.
Abstract Background Unexplained exertional dyspnoea without significant elevation of natriuretic peptides is common. One of the causes might be early heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Aims This study aimed to characterize patients with exertional dyspnoea and normal/near‐to‐normal N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT ...

The pulmonary artery pulsatility index in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing valve replacement

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims The pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi), that is, the pulmonary artery pulse pressure (PAPP) divided by the mean right atrial pressure (mRAP), is an increasingly used invasive index of right ventricular function. We sought to assess the prognostic impact of the PAPi in unselected patients with aortic stenosis (AS ...

Beta‐blockers in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
In total, 5084 patients from Swedish registries with both heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were included. Confounding was handled by overlap weighting based on propensity scores for beta‐blocker use. Patients were followed up for 5 years, or until death, emigration from Sweden or

Patterns of recruitment and injury in a heterogeneous airway network model [PDF]

, 2015
In respiratory distress, lung airways become flooded with liquid and may collapse due to surface-tension forces acting on air-liquid interfaces, inhibiting gas exchange.

Respiratory muscle training with normocapnic hyperpnea improves ventilatory pattern and thoracoabdominal coordination, and reduces oxygen desaturation during endurance exercise testing in COPD patients [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Few data are available about the effects of respiratory muscle training with normocapnic hyperpnea (NH) in COPD. The aim is to evaluate the effects of 4 weeks of NH (Spirotiger®) on ventilatory pattern, exercise capacity, and quality of life (

Evidence Regarding E‐Cigarettes as a Harm Reduction Strategy and Treatment for E‐Cigarette Cessation: An Overview and Guide for Clinicians

JACCP: JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CLINICAL PHARMACY, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since their emergence on the United States market in the early 2000s, e‐cigarette accessibility and use have grown considerably. Electronic cigarettes (e‐cigarettes), also referred to as vapes or electronic nicotine delivery systems, deliver their contents by heating and aerosolizing an “e‐liquid” that is then inhaled.
