Obesity and respiratory diseases

International Journal of General Medicine, 2010
The obesity epidemic is a global problem, which is set to increase over time. However, the effects of obesity on the respiratory system are often underappreciated. In this review, we will discuss the mechanical effects of obesity on lung physiology and the function of adipose tissue as an endocrine organ producing systemic inflammation and effecting ...

Common Respiratory Diseases

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2010
The self-medication phenomenon in upper respiratory tract infections, rhinosinusitis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are significant and will continue to increase. Current level of evidence is poor because of the small number of good quality studies, small sample size, short duration, and variation in the composition of the herbal ...

Infants hospitalized for Bordetella pertussis infection commonly have respiratory viral coinfections [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Whether viral coinfections cause more severe disease than Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis) alone remains unclear. We compared clinical disease severity and sought clinical and demographic differences between infants with B.

Preserved ratio impaired spirometry is associated with small airway dysfunction and reduced total lung capacity

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background: Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) refers to decreased forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) in the setting of preserved ratio. Little is known about the role of PRISm and its complex relation with small airway dysfunction (SAD) and
