The effect of tiotropium on the pulmonary diffusing capacity
Methods and Findings in Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology, 2007To our knowledge, there is no data on the effect of tiotropium on pulmonary gas exchange in healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of tiotropium on pulmonary diffusing capacity. Twenty-one healthy volunteers were enrolled for a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

INCREASE OF PULMONARY DIFFUSING CAPACITY IN SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS
Rheumatology, 1994Pulmonary function tests and chest radiographs of 29 non-smoking systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients were analysed, featuring an apparently paradoxic finding of an increased diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO). Twenty-one patients (72%) had abnormal pulmonary function, 11 of them had restrictive disease (38%), six (21%) had isolated DLCO ...

Diffusion and Pulmonary Diffusion Capacity
Abstract One of the major roles of the lungs is to facilitate gas exchange from the circulatory system and the external environment. Gas exchange occurs in the lungs between alveolar air and blood of the pulmonary capillaries. A test of the diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO, also known as transfer factor for ...Anna Moldysz, Archit Sharma

Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity in Cigarette Smokers
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1962Excerpt Cigarette smoking is an increasingly popular indulgence in this country, as the per capita consumption of cigarettes is higher today than at any time in the history of the tobacco industry ...

Physical Training and the Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity
Diseases of the Chest, 1969The effects of nine weeks of physical training on certain ventilatory variables and the pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide were studied in ten university distance runners. A nonexercising control group of five medical students was also investigated.

Pulmonary diffusing capacity after maximal exercise
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1993To determine the effect of maximal exercise on alveolocapillary membrane diffusing capacity (Dm), 12 professional handball players aged 23.4 +/- 3.3 (SD) yr were studied before and during early recovery from a progressive maximal exercise [immediately (t0), 15 min, and 30 min (t30) after exercise]. Lung capillary blood volume and Dm were determined in

Pulmonary diffusing capacity in chronic renal failure
British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1981Reduced carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) is a frequent and often isolated pulmonary physiological abnormality in patients with chronic renal failure. In 20 patients with chronic renal failure who had normal spirometry (FEV1 and FVC greater than 80% of predicted) and near normal chest roentgenograms (three had mild cardiomegaly), the DLCO was ...

Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity in Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Chest, 1990The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are any consistent spirometric or Dsb findings in patients with LV dysfunction characterized by a clinical diagnosis of CHF and an EF less than 40 percent. We performed spirometry and Dsb in 34 patients, and found that EF correlated only with Dsb.

Smoking and pulmonary diffusing capacity.
Scandinavian journal of respiratory diseases, 1975The pulmonary diffusing capacity (DLCO SB) and its two components, the capillary blood volume (Vc) and the diffusing capacity of the membrane (DMCO), expressed in absolute values and per litre of alveolar volume (VA'), were measured at rest and on exercise in healthy male smokers and nonsmokers of similar age and height, and with identical values for ...
