Evaluation of Prognostic Factors of Mortality in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Background and Objective: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic obstructive and irreversible disease which has a high mortality and morbidity rate. Systemic inflammation and the thrombotic process can influence the prognosis of these patients. The objectives of this study were to evaluate prognostic effects of CBC indices (WBC, PMN, MPV, RDW), forced expiratory volume-one se...
متن کاملEffect of vitamin C on tracheal responsiveness and pulmonary inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease model of guinea pig
Introduction: In the present study, the prophylactic effect of vitamin C, as a potent anti-oxidant, on tracheal responsiveness to methacholine and ovalbumin, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid white blood cell (WBC) count and differential count, and also lung pathology in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) -guinea pigs (cigarette exposed guinea pigs) were examined. In addition, the relax...

The purpose of this study was to determine the pattern of chronic lung lesions and possible risk factors in sickle cell patients in lagos, Nigeria.Methods: From July 2012 to April 2013, Pulmonary function test (PFT) and chest-x-ray...
متن کاملSystemic White Blood Cell Count as a Biomarker Associated with Severity of Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a chronic inflammatory disorder. We evaluated whether white blood cell (WBC) count, is associated with the severity of COPD, independent of other inflammatory conditions, such as metabolic syndrome. METHODS The WBC counts were compared between 1227 COPD patients and 8679 non-COPD adults older than 40. The relationships between the WB...
متن کاملکاهش سطح سرمی ویتامین D در افراد مواجه شده با سولفورموستارد مبتلا به عوارض دراز مدت ریوی
Background and Objective: Vitamin D as an immunomodulatory agent is an effective factor to suppress inflammatory responses. It is shown that serum level of vitamin D reduces in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In addition, some studies have shown that vitamin D modulates white blood cells (WBC) and lymphocytes, especially in inflammatory disease. Moreover, WBC and plate...
