Evaluation of Pulmonary Function Test in Patients with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and its correlation with the symptoms of the disease
Introduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurogenic progressive disease that leads to muscle atrophy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate pulmonary function test (PFT) in patients with ALS and its correlation with ASL symptoms. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 32 ALS patients at Ghaem Hospital, Mashhad...
متن کاملLung mucociliary clearance in rheumatoid disease.
Lung mucociliary clearance rates were measured in 11 patients with rheumatoid disease and found to be unaltered when compared with those of a group of matched control subjects. The results are discussed in relation to the increased incidence of respiratory infection in patients with rheumatoid disease and also to the recently reported finding of increased airways obstruction in these patients.
متن کاملap-index solar wind driving function and its semiannual variations
Semiannual variation of geomagnetic activity and ap-index in particular is supposed to consist of heliospheric factor (axial hypothesis and Russell-McPherron effect) and magnetospheric/ionospheric factor (equinoctical hypothesis). In our investigation we express ap-index as a magnetospheric response function to solar wind and IMF input. Seasonal variation in ap-index on average (1963– 2003) is ...
متن کاملLiver Function in Amœbiasis and Its Variations under Emetine Therapy
The question whether amoebic dysenteryinfluences the liver function arose from the experience that a definite discrepancy exists between the fact, fully established, that Entamoeba histolytica does not produce a toxin, and the clinical impression that patients suffering from acute or chronic intestinal amcebiasis look and behave as if they were ' toxic '; moreover, anorexia, emaciation, sallow ...
متن کاملMucociliary function, ciliary ultrastructure, and ciliary orientation in Young's syndrome.
BACKGROUND Mucociliary clearance is impaired in patients with Young's syndrome (obstructive azoospermia with recurrent sinobronchial disease), cystic fibrosis, and primary ciliary dyskinesia. No defect of cilia or mucus has been detected in Young's syndrome. METHODS Ciliary function and ultrastructure, including ciliary orientation, were studied quantitatively in 20 patients with Young's synd...
