Ventilation inhomogeneity in patients with cystic fibrosis measured by electrical impedance tomography [PDF]

, 2012
Objective: The distribution of ventilation within the lung is inhomogeneous. We hypothesized that the degree of inhomogeneity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) differs from that in healthy subjects.

Individuals With Multijoint Osteoarthritis Demonstrate Larger Longitudinal Declines in Frailty: Data From the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that multijoint osteoarthritis would modify the relation between time and frailty progression, in which more affected joints would lead to larger declines over six years compared to those without osteoarthritis using data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.

Quality of Spirometry in the Elderly

Advances in Respiratory Medicine, 2011
Wstęp: Spirometria jest podstawową techniką wykorzystywaną w diagnozowaniu i monitorowaniu chorób obturacyjnych. Coraz większą grupę objętą badaniami spirometrycznymi stanowią osoby w wieku podeszłym, które ukończyły 65. rok życia. Celem pracy była ocena jakości wykonania spirometrii (pomiaru krzywej przepływ–objętość) u osób w tej grupie wiekowej w ...

Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.

Primary care spirometry* [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2007
Primary care spirometry is a uniquely valuable tool in the evaluation of patients with respiratory symptoms, allowing the general practitioner to diagnose or exclude chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sometimes to confirm asthma, to determine the efficacy of asthma treatment and to correctly stage patients with COPD.

Lung Ultrasound for the Detection of Radiologic Progression of Interstitial Lung Abnormalities in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important extra‐articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) associated with high mortality and morbidity. Lung ultrasonography (LUS) has recently emerged as a possible screening tool. We assessed the role of LUS in monitoring radiologic progression and the development of new interstitial lung ...

Use of spirometry as an objective tool in diagnosis and management of airway obstruction among patients diagnosed and treated with chronic obstructive lung disease or asthma

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2019
Background Spirometry is an important pulmonary function test that is used to evaluate patients complaining of respiratory problems. Spirometry is used to help in the diagnosis and follow-up of management of bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive lung ...

Spirometry to increase smoking cessation rate: A systematic review

, 2019
Introduction Addressing tobacco use is an important issue in general health care. In order to improve smoking cessation advice, spirometry values can be displayed to the smoker to demonstrate possible lung function impairment.

Plasma Proteome Reflects Tissue Damage and Clinical Manifestations in Patients With Inflammatory Myopathies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Tissue‐specific biomarkers that are reliable and associated with clinical manifestations of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) are lacking. The blood circulation in individuals serves as a central conduit, allowing communication between tissues and facilitating clearance and recycling of tissue‐derived proteins.

Switching disease‐modifying therapies in patients with spinal muscular atrophy: A systematic review on effectiveness outcomes

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
With multiple disease‐modifying therapies now available, treatment switching has become an important clinical consideration in the management of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). While some switches are prompted by suboptimal clinical response, more commonly they are driven by treatment burden, convenience, or adverse events.
