Pulmonary emphysema, cardio-respiratory disturbance.
Pulmonary emphysema, as the term is generally used clinically, refers to an overinfiation or distention of the lungs (localized or diffuse), characterized by a relative increase in the amount of air which cannot be blown out with a forced expiration. The residual air capacity plus the vital capacity equals total observed lung capacity (TLC) for the individual, and in pulmonary emphysema the TLC...

متن کاملThe Correlation Between the Six Minute Walk Test and Spirometric Parameters in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Introduction: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease affect nearly every organ system. Pulmonary involvement, which is a common manifestation of SLE, can remain undiagnosed if asymptomatic. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of spirometric findings in early detection of silent pulmonary involvement and examine its correlation with the six minute walk test in SLE pa...
متن کاملPulmonary Rehabilitation in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Chance for a Multidisciplinary Treatment Approach
Background and Objectives: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by progressively worsening lung function, ventilation capacity, dyspnea, and finally reduced exercise intolerance. All of these have a significant negative impact on functional capacity and quality of life. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in IPF and assess the predictor...
متن کاملMulticomponent indices to predict survival in COPD.
The recent article by MARIN et al. [1] compared various multicomponent indices of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) severity to see which best predicted survival and concluded ADO (age, dyspnoea and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)) and BODE (body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnoea and exercise capacity) were the most valid. However, these were only the most valid of the...
