Examination of Lung Parenchyma by Electron Microscopy
In this paper many of the principal structure of the Moral Lung were studied with the help of Electron Microscopy. Detailed description was given of Granular Pneumocytes, Membranous Pneumocytes, Macrophages, and Alveolar Capillaries. A discussion followed on the form and function of Granular Pneumocytes. Acknowledgements I am grateful to the Reza Shah Pahlavi Foundation for its generou...
متن کاملSerum Methylarginines and Spirometry-Measured Lung Function in Older Adults
RATIONALE Methylarginines are endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitors that have been implicated in animal models of lung disease but have not previously been examined for their association with spirometric measures of lung function in humans. OBJECTIVES This study measured serum concentrations of asymmetric and symmetric dimethylarginine in a representative sample of older community-dwell...
متن کاملSpirometry quality in adults with very severe lung function impairment.
BACKGROUND Some technologists worry that patients with very severe lung disease are unable to complete several spirometry maneuvers, which require considerable effort. METHODS We retrospectively selected all spirometry tests with an FEV1 < 35% predicted done by adult subjects sent to our pulmonary function laboratory during a 3-y period. We determined the rates and correlates of poor quality ...
متن کاملA spirometry-based algorithm to direct lung function testing in the pulmonary function laboratory.
OBJECTIVE To design a spirometry-based algorithm to predict pulmonary restrictive impairment and reduce the number of patients undergoing unnecessary lung volume testing. DESIGN Two prospective studies of 259 consecutive patients and 265 consecutive patients used to derive and validate the algorithm, respectively. SETTING A pulmonary function laboratory of a tertiary care hospital. PATIEN...
متن کاملPredictive validity of the comprehensive basic science examination (CBSE) for success assessment of comprehensive preintership examination (CPIE) in medical students
Introduction. One of the proplems that both medical students and educational programmers are involved in is the importance of basic science materials in comprehention of clinical subjects and student's performance after that. Our goal is to measure the correlation coefficient between the CBSE and CPSE and the predictive validity of CBSE for CPIE. Methods. Analytic cross-sectional study was co...
