Effort and the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV).
1. The relationship between volumes expired and the maximum intrathoracic pressures developed within the first second of expiration was examined in a group of healthy subjects and patients with airways obstruction who exhaled with varying degrees of effort. 2. The body plethysmographic method was used to ensure that expirations started from total lung capacity. 3. Three different types of volum...
متن کاملForced expiratory volume in one second: why dichotomise?
Numerous epidemiological surveys have tried to evaluate the effects of exposures relevant to pulmonary disease.' A number of studies have analysed forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVI) using linear regression analysis, thus enabling adjustment for age, height, and sex as well as potential confounding variables. Within the last few years, studies analysing dichotomous FEV, variables with...
متن کاملSources of variation in forced expiratory volume in one second and forced vital capacity.
Published prediction equations for lung function differ considerably, but the components of population variation responsible for the differences are unknown. Data were analysed for 6,323 never-smoking adults who did not report wheeze or asthma, from 42 centres participating in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey. Means and components of variance were estimated for males and females...
متن کاملPromoter methylation of DAL-1/4.1B predicts poor prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer.
PURPOSE DAL-1/4.1B is an actin-binding protein originally identified as a molecule whose expression is down-regulated in lung adenocarcinoma. We have previously shown that a lung tumor suppressor, TSLC1, associates with DAL-1, suggesting that both proteins act in the same cascade. The purpose of this study is to understand the molecular mechanisms and clinical significance of DAL-1 inactivation...
متن کاملOverexpression of periostin predicts poor prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer
The periostin protein, encoded by the POSTN gene, is a component of the extracellular matrix, which is expressed by fibroblasts and has been observed in a variety of human malignancies. The present study aimed to detect the expression of periostin in the tissues of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and benign lung tumors, and to correlate the results with the clinicopathological data ...
