Breath-holding spells are a common childhood disorder that typically present before 12 months of age. Whereas most cases are benign, some patients have very severe cases associated with bradycardia that can progress from asystole to syncope and seizures. Treatment studies have implicated the use of several therapies, such as oral iron, fluoxetine, and pacemaker implantation. This is a retrospec...
Monodisperse aerosol particles can be used to non-invasively probe intrapulmonary airspace dimensions. In this study, the aerosol-derived airway morphometry technique was used to study airspace dimensions in 79 healthy subjects, in order to assess reference data for the future clinical application of aerosol-derived airway morphometry, and to investigate the effect of lung inflation, anthropome...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early deterioration can occur after acute stroke for a variety of reasons. We describe a hemodynamic steal and associated neurological deterioration, the reversed Robin Hood syndrome (RRHS). We aimed to investigate the frequency and factors associated with RRHS. METHODS Consecutive patients with acute cerebral ischemia underwent serial National Institutes of Health Stro...
The proposal that some naturally occurring prostaglandins (PGs) or their by-products may be implicated in the pathogenesis of the asthmatic bronchospasm has been suggested. Other PGs may be potentially useful in the treatment of this lung disease. The present investigation compared the bronchodilator effects of PGE1 and PGE2 in pharmacologically constricted experimental animals. In pentobarbita...
Eight volunteers were exposed for eight hours to about 200 ppm of 1,1,1-trichloroethane. On the next morning five series of five alveolar samples were collected for the simultaneous determination of PCO2 and 1,1,1-trichloroethane concentration. Three different methods of sampling were used: voluntary hyperventilation, 10-s breathholding, and "standard." A linear relationship between the alveola...
Effects of varying marijuana potency on deposition of tar and delta9-THC in the lung during smoking.
To determine whether smoking more, compared to less, potent marijuana (MJ) cigarettes to a desired level of intoxication ("high") reduces pulmonary exposure to noxious smoke components, in 10 habitual smokers of MJ, we measured respiratory delivery and deposition of tar and delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) boost, smoking topography, including cumulative puff volume (C...
We measured simultaneously, by single breath methods, pulmonary capillary blood flow (Q(c)), carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DL(CO)), and isotopic oxygen ((18)O(18)O) diffusing capacity (DL(18) (O2)) in five normal males during conditions of rest and moderate exercise at mixed venous O(2) tensions (PO(2) 33-44 mm Hg). During moderate exercise at a work load of 100 W. pulmonary capillary blo...
In traditional pulmonary perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), respiratory lung motion and cyclically varying changes in lung volume during image acquisition inherently degrade the image sharpness of ill-defined perfusion defects. However, because of the lack of an adequate fast imaging technique, perfusion SPECT has never been acquired under breathhold conditions, where...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Fabry disease is an X-linked inherited disorder resulting from a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A. Cerebrovascular disease in Fabry disease includes small-vessel disease and larger-vessel ectasia in a predominantly posterior distribution. We assessed transcranial Doppler (TCD) blood flow velocities in naive and enzyme-treated Fabry patients. METHODS TCD was used to n...
