correlation between symptom score, wheeze, reversibility of pulmonary function tests and treatment response in asthma
asthma management is a major concern because some asthmatic patients either do not respond or else hardly respond to treatment. therefore in the present study, an attempt has been made to determine the predictors of treatment response in asthmatic patients. thirty six asthmatic adults including 13 male and 23 female were studied dur¬ing a 3 month treatment period. asthma symptom score (ss) and ...
متن کاملPulmonary Function after Adenotonsillectomy
Introduction Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is a common disorder among children which, without proper treatment, may lead to considerable problems. Although the consequences of this disorder have been studied in other articles, we decided to evaluate the changes in pulmonary function tests in these children after adenotonsillectomy, and the correlation between clinical and spirometric parameters. ...
متن کاملAirflow obstruction in bronchiectasis: correlation between computed tomography features and pulmonary function tests.
BACKGROUND An obstructive defect is usual in bronchiectasis, but the pathophysiological basis of airflow obstruction remains uncertain. High resolution computed tomographic (CT) scanning now allows quantitation of static morphological abnormalities, as well as dynamic changes shown on expiratory CT scans. The aim of this study was to determine which static and dynamic structural abnormalities o...
متن کاملPleural fluid characteristics in pulmonary brucellosis.
Although pulmonary symptoms accompany up to 16% of cases of infection with Brucella melitensis, pleural effusion has rarely been reported. A 12 year old girl had brucellosis with pulmonary disease and a pleural effusion. The pleural fluid was clear and straw coloured with 2700 leucocytes/mm3 (93% lymphocytes), a protein level of 48 g/1, and a glucose concentration of 4.1 mmol/l. Culture of the ...
متن کاملEffects of remote limb ischemic preconditioning on pulmonary function tests and maximal oxygen uptake
Introduction: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protects skeletal muscles from ischemia-reperfusion injury and improves physical exercise performance. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether application of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) of upper limbs would affect the pulmonary function tests and the maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Methods: Twenty healthy trained...
