Ventilatory mechanics in patients with bronchiectasis starting in childhood.

Effect of Zafirlukast on improving lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases

  Background : There is little evidence about the role of Zafirlukast (a highly selective LTD4 antagonist) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The Zafirlukast can reduce the need for short-acting rescue β2 agonists, produce fewer exacerbations of asthma and increased quality of life as possible benefits treatment for asthma. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of Zafir...

Detection ofDepressed Ventilatory Drive in Patients with Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Impaired pulmonary mechanics or depression of the respiratory centers can limit the ventilatory response to inhaled carbon dioxide in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We devised a method able to detect depressed neurogenic and chemical ventilatory drive during expiratory airflow obstruction. In 14 normal subjects, we impeded expiratory airflow while measuring the resu...

Role of Antioxidants in Prevention of Cardio-Vascular Diseases

Coronary heart diseases are the most preventable non-contagious diseases, but unfortunately, ‎it is one of the major causes of mortality among humans in the industrialized and semi-‎industrialized countries. It is predicted that if this trend continues, it will lead to the death of ‎approximately over ‎‏25‏‎ million people in the world by ‎‏2020‏‎. On...
