This study aims determine relationship between in builders related disorders. The design this was case control Rungkut District, Surabaya September-December 2018. research variables were disorders,...

Zielsetzung Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death worldwide, yet early detection and treatment can prevent the progression disease. X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) scans chest provide quantitative measure morphological changes in lung. The potential incorporating optimal Window Setting (WS) selection, typically carried out during examination CT for COPD, genera...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is considered an inflammatory pulmonary disorder with systemic inflammatory manifestations. The aim of this study was to assess the systemic levels of six inflammatory mediators in a large cohort of COPD patients and controls. 409 COPD patients and 231 healthy subjects, aged 40-75 yrs, were included from the first phase of the Bergen COPD Cohort Stud...

The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) has defined stage I chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC)% <70% and a FEV1% predicted of >80%. Stage 2 has been defined as FEV1/FVC <70% and a FEV1% pred of <80%. The authors examined the extent of COPD misdiagnosis using this definition in healthy,...

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an important cause of heart failure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The pro brain natriuretic peptide N-terminal (NT-proBNP) has been suggested as a noninvasive marker to evaluate ventricular function. However, there is no evidence to support the use of NT-proBNP in monitoring the benefits of vasodilators in COPD induced PH. Thus, we used NT-proBN...

Objectives The purpose of this study was to identify the associated factors with physical activities in people chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Methods This enrolled 1,176 COPD patients aged 40 and over who had function test 2013-2015 Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VI). measured were self-reported walking strength exercise. Descriptive statistics, chi...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a systemic inflammatory disorder. It often causes weight loss, which considered poor prognostic factor. A Japanese herbal Kampo medicine, Hochuekkito (TJ-41), has been reported to prevent inflammation and loss in COPD patients, but the underlying biological mechanisms remain unknown. In present study, we investigated role of TJ-41 vivo using mouse...

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways associated with airway narrowing airflow obstruction leading to difficulty in breathing impair daily activity and cause poor quality life. Patients methods: Fifty patients whom diagnosed COPD are divided into two groups, 1st control group includes 25 assigned receive conventional therapy F...
