Pulmonary Function in Bronchial Asthma.
Asthma is essentially a condition of reversible obstruction in the peripheral part of the bronchial airway. This article describes how the degree of the obstruction to breathing can be measured and how such measurements may be of practical value in the management of asthmatic patients. The time-honoured techniques of inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation may all give information ab...
متن کاملPulmonary Artery Agenesis with Bronchial Asthma
Unilateral Pulmonary Artery Agenesis (UPAA) is a rare congenital anomaly during the 4 th week of gestational age. It is defined as an absence of pulmonary parenchyma and its supporting artery. A 9-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital because of chronic cough. Chest examination showed a decrement in lung sound of right hemi-thorax with expiratory wheeze. Chest radiography (CXR) revealed a...
متن کاملSpirometric Evaluation of Pulmonary Function Tests in Bronchial Asthma Patients
Asthma is a complex, recurrent disease of the airways that causes shortness of breath, wheezing, and cough (particularly at night or early in the morning). Asthma is episodic in nature and usually reversible, either spontaneously or with treatment. However, chronic inflammation, associated with persistent symptoms, may contribute to airway remodeling that may not be completely reversible. Airfl...

متن کاملadrenocortical function in bronchial asthma
In a previous paper (Robson and Kilborn, 1965) we described some observations on adrenocortical function in continuous asthma. The methods employed were the cortisol production rate using an isotope dilution method (De Witt, Robson, and Stewart, 1962) and the specific measurement of plasma cortisol during adrenocorticotrophic hormone (A.C.T.H.) stimulation by a continuous intravenous infusion (...
