Airway dysanapsis modulates the link from bronchiolitis to chronic obstruction

Small airway morphology and lung function in the transition from normality to chronic airway obstruction.

This study investigated the relationships between pathological changes in small airways (<6 mm perimeter) and lung function in 22 nonasthmatic subjects (20 smokers) undergoing lung resection for peripheral lesions. Preoperative pulmonary function tests revealed airway obstruction [ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) < 70%] in 12 subjects and normal lung ...

We need programs for chronic airway obstruction.

Relationship of acute obstructive airway change to chronic (fixed) obstruction.

In this report of a 5-yr longitudinal study of workers at six cotton textile mills, exposure and across-shift FEV, changes were evaluated as possible predictors of the annual change in FEV, for yarn manufacturing workers. A total of 611 workers had three repeatable spirometric tests, over at least 3yr, and at least one (average of three) across-shift test, while always working the same shift. T...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
