Guanylyl cyclase activation reverses resistive breathing–induced lung injury and inflammation [PDF]

, 2015
Inspiratory resistive breathing (RB), encountered in obstructive lung diseases, induces lung injury. The soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway is down-regulated in chronic and acute animal models of RB, such as ...

The role of C-reactive protein levels on the association of physical activity with lung function in adults.

PLoS ONE, 2019
ObjectiveRegular physical activity may be associated with improved lung function via reduced systemic inflammation, although studies exploring this mechanism are rare.

Quantitative CT analysis in patients with pulmonary emphysema: is lung function influenced by concomitant unspecific pulmonary fibrosis? [PDF]

, 2019
Purpose: Quantitative analysis of CT scans has proven to be a reproducible technique, which might help to understand the pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.

Patterns of dietary intake and relation to respiratory disease, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, and decline in 5-y forced expiratory volume [PDF]

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2010
The independent effect of individual foods on the risk of respiratory disease is difficult to establish because intakes of specific foods are generally strongly correlated. To date, few studies have examined the relation between dietary food patterns and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)) or respiratory symptoms.The objective was to investigate ...

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.

Effectiveness and Safety of Oral Triamcinolone in the Management of Acute Exacerbations of Asthma: A Prospective Interventional Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Introduction: Acute exacerbation of asthma leads to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Oral Corticosteroids (OCS) are critical in the management of asthma exacerbations; however, the response varies between patients.

New reference ranges for interpreting forced expiratory manoeuvres in infants and implications for clinical interpretation: a multicentre collaboration [PDF]

, 2015
The raised volume rapid thoracoabdominal compression (RVRTC) technique is commonly used to obtain full forced expiratory manoeuvres from infants, but reference equations derived from 'in-house' equipment have been shown to be inappropriate for current ...
