Spirometry and Obstructive Lung Disease in Manitoba [PDF]

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2001
BACKGROUND: Spirometry, the measurement of forced expiratory volume in 1 s and forced vital capacity, is recommended in the diagnosis and management of the obstructive lung diseases asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present report describes spirometry use in Manitoba and tests the hypothesis that regional spirometry use ...

Descriptors of dyspnea in obstructive lung diseases [PDF]

Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine, 2010
In obstructive lung diseases such as asthma and COPD dyspnea is a common respiratory symptom with different characteristics given the different pathogenic mechanisms: in COPD initially it can occur during exertion but then it increases progressively along with the airflow obstruction, whereas in asthma it occurs episodically and is caused by transient ...

Ciliary Ultrastructure Assessed by Transmission Electron Microscopy in Adults with Bronchiectasis and Suspected Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia but Inconclusive Genotype

Cells, 2023
Whole-exome sequencing has expedited the diagnostic work-up of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), when used in addition to clinical phenotype and nasal nitric oxide. However, it reveals variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in established PCD genes or (

Interleukin‐17A and interleukin‐22 production by conventional and non‐conventional lymphocytes in three different end‐stage lung diseases

Clinical & Translational Immunology, 2022
Objectives The contribution of adaptive vs. innate lymphocytes to IL‐17A and IL‐22 secretion at the end stage of chronic lung diseases remains largely unexplored. In order to uncover tissue‐ and disease‐specific secretion patterns, we compared production

The Relationship between Plasma Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Polymers and Lung or Liver Function in ZZ Alpha-1-Antitrypsin-Deficient Patients

Biomolecules, 2022
Alpha-1-Antitrypsin (AAT) is a protein of the SERPINA1 gene. A single amino acid mutation (Lys342Glu) results in an expression of misfolded Z-AAT protein, which has a high propensity to intra- and extra-cellular polymerization.

Spirometric and anthropometric improvements in response to elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor depending on age and lung disease severity

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Introduction: Triple-combination cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator therapy with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) was introduced in August 2020 in Germany for people with CF (pwCF) ≥12 years (yrs.) of age and in ...
