HRCT findings of pulmonary sarcoidosis; relation to pulmonary function tests
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Chest-X-ray has several limitations in detecting the extent of pulmonary disease in sarcoidosis. It might not reflect the degree of pulmonary involvement in patients with sarcoidosis when compared to computed tomography of the thorax. We aimed to investigate the HRCT findings of pulmonary sarcoidosis and to find out the existence of possible relations between HRCT findi...
متن کاملcorrelation 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 کاملRight and left ventricular function and pulmonary artery pressure in patients with bronchiectasis.
BACKGROUND Bronchiectasis may have deleterious effects on cardiac function secondary to pulmonary hypertension (PH). This study was designed to assess cardiac function and determine the prevalence of PH in patients with cystic and cylindrical bronchiectasis. METHODS A cross-sectional study of patients with bronchiectasis diagnosed by CT scan was conducted at King Khalid University Hospital, R...
متن کاملMultidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) Score and Pulmonary Function Tests in Determining Severity of Bronchiectasis
Objective: To determine the severity score of bronchiectasis using MDCT and pulmonary function tests and to relate the extent of MDCT score to pulmonary function tests. Patients and Methods: A prospective study was performed in Assuit University Hospitals from 2011 to 2013 and it included 50 patients underwent MDCT examination and pulmonary function. Two radiologists interpreted MDCT images acc...
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...
