Serial pulmonary function tests in patients with asbestosis.
Serial lung function tests were performed on 17 patients with asbestosis. A marked fall in the transfer factor often preceded any significant decline in the vital capacity.

متن کاملSerial pulmonary function tests in progressive systemic sclerosis.
Serial pulmonary function tests were performed on nine patients with progressive systemic sclerosis over a mean period of ten years. Abnormality was seen to develop both early and late in the course of the disease, and the earliest abnormality observed was impairment of the transfer factor. Deterioration of some aspect of pulmonary function was noted in each case, evidence of restriction or air...
متن کاملSerial pulmonary function testing in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Previous studies have documented the pulmonary function abnormalities associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). There are very few data, however, regarding the progression of such changes. To study this question, we evaluated the pulmonary function of a group of 25 patients with SLE from two to seven years after a set of pulmonary function tests had been performed as part of their ove...
