This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of pulmonary problems, among a group of 1600 selected textile mill workers in the Yazd province. A standard questionnaire on respiratory symptoms was administered and forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) were determined for each worker. The results obtained were as follow: Obstructive ventilatory def...
متن کاملComparison of breathing patterns during exercise in patients with obstructive and restrictive ventilatory abnormalities.
Patients with obstructive and restrictive ventilatory abnormalities suffer from exercise intolerance and dyspnea. Breathing pattern components (volume, flow, and timing) during incremental exercise may provide further insight in the role played by dynamic hyperinflation in the genesis of dyspnea. This study analyzed the breathing patterns of patients with obstructive and restrictive ventilatory...
متن کاملThe effectiveness of short-term high-intensity exercise on ventilatory function, in adults with a high risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
[Purpose] This study sets out to investigate whether a short-term high-intensity arm ergometer exercise plan can be of benefit to adults whose poor ventilatory function places them at risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [Subjects and Methods] A pre-experimental design with a convenience sample was employed. The study enrolled 30 adult smokers, aged between 18-25 years old,...
متن کاملPulmonary functions of narghile smokers compared to cigarette smokers: a case–control study
Background Studies of the lung function profiles of exclusive narghile smokers (ENS) are few, have some methodological limits, and present contradictory conclusions. The present study aimed to compare the plethysmographic profiles of ENS with age- and height-matched exclusive cigarette smokers (ECS). Methods Males aged 35-60 living in Sousse, Tunisia, who have been smoking narghile exclusively ...
متن کاملDefining chronic obstructive pulmonary disease... and the elephant in the room.
So what constitutes disease in COPD? Combinations of the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and the slow vital capacity (SVC) are used to help classify lung disease. What is normal? What reference equations does one use? Is the lower limit of normal (LLN) for the FEV1/FVC more accurate than the fixed ratio of 0.70? Does lung function have to be measured a...
