Functional Respiratory Disorders
Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 1997Reading this article will enable health care providers to recognize and to diagnose paroxysmal sneezing, sighing dyspnea, habit cough, and vocal cord dysfunction and to reinforce their knowledge of the epidemiology, etiopathology, clinical features, and treatment of these disorders.The literature was reviewed using a MEDLINE search for information ...

Is Respiratory Function Diminished?
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1991An association between diminished respiratory function and an environmental agent should reflect the magnitude of the exposure and not be due to technical error, bias, confounding factors, or chance. Bias is difficult to avoid; the best course is to make comparisons within a population of exposed individuals, not between them and a control group; the ...

Malnutrition and Respiratory Function
International Anesthesiology Clinics, 1986Malnutrition has a tremendous impact on respiratory functions. It affects respiratory muscle performance, lung structure, defense mechanisms, and control of ventilation and predisposes to respiratory failure and prolonged mechanical ventilation.

On the respiratory function of the ribs
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2002To assess the respiratory function of the ribs, we measured the changes in airway opening pressure (Pao) induced by stimulation of the parasternal and external intercostal muscles in anesthetized dogs, first before and then after the bony ribs were removed from both sides of the chest.

Procedures for Respiratory Function
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1986The emergency practitioner has a wide array of procedures in his armamentarium for the diagnosis of pulmonary dysfunction. The combination of blood gas analysis, spirometry, peak expiratory measurements, and trans-tissue monitors, coupled with clinical and radiographic findings, can offer a concise picture of pulmonary status.

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1986
The functional anatomy of the respiratory muscles has been reviewed. The diaphragm has been emphasized, since this is the most important inspiratory muscle, but the view has been presented that the intercostal, scaleni, and other accessory inspiratory muscles become increasingly important as airflow obstruction leads to hyperinflation.

Respiratory Function in Pesticide Workers
Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 2008Pesticide aerosols are frequently toxic irritants associated with respiratory symptoms and lung function impairment.A cross-sectional study examined the prevalence of acute and chronic respiratory symptoms and lung function abnormalities in 82 workers employed in processing pesticides and in 60 control workers not exposed to irritants and employed in a

Respiratory Function at Different Altitudes
Respiration, 2009For the evaluation of a respiratory test at high altitude, several factors must be taken into account: the decreased barometric pressure, the decreased density of air and the degree of acclimatization which is related to the altitude and to the length of exposure.

Monitoring respiratory function
Critical Care Medicine, 1974The status of patients on respirators can change very suddenly; therefore, continuous airway monitoring which can provide data on the immediate status of respiratory function can be life-saving as well as contribute to the making of sound clinical decisions.

Respiratory Function of Hemoglobin
New England Journal of Medicine, 1998Hemoglobin is essential for oxygen transport, and the study of its structure and function has led to numerous discoveries that have shaped modern biologic science.1 This review will examine how hemoglobin actively regulates oxygen transport and will illustrate the clinical and physiologic importance of this regulation.
