Airway resistance and reactance are affected in systemic sclerosis
BACKGROUND Interstitial lung disease often occurs as an early complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc). The aim was to investigate whether impulse oscillometry (IOS) could be used to evaluate lung impairment in SSc. METHODS Seventy-eight SSc patients, of which 65 had limited cutaneous SSc (lcSSc) and 13 had diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc), were subjected to high-resolution computed tomography (...
متن کاملAssociation between atherosclerosis and parenchymal lung involvement in systemic sclerosis
Background: Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease affecting connective tissues, (including epidermal, subepidermal, microvasculature, etc.), leading to various extent of end-organ damage. The leading cause of mortality among these patients is lung involvement. The cardiovascular events happen more frequently in patients suffering systemic scleroderma, comparing to healthy population. This...
متن کاملHigh frequency skin ultrasonography in systemic sclerosis
Background: Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder which is characterised by cutaneous and internal organ fibrosis. Raynaud’s phenomenon is the earliest feature and may precede the onset of the disease by months to years. The heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and other organs may be involved. Our aim was to evaluate skin thickness and echogenicity in systemic...
متن کاملDeflecting Reactance: The Role of Similarity in Increasing Compliance and Reducing Resistance DEFLECTING REACTANCE SILVIA
On the basis of the approach–avoid dynamics assumed by reactance theory (S. S. Brehm & J. W. Brehm, 1981) and other models (E. S. Knowles & J. A. Linn, 2004), it was predicted that interpersonal similarity can reduce reactance by increasing compliance and by reducing resistance. A communicator’s similarity to the participant was manipulated by identical first names and birthdays (Experiment 1) ...
متن کاملResistance and reactance in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different surgical variables, such as perfusion duration and number of grafts, on resistance and reactance, in heart surgery patients. METHODS 77 patients submitted to coronary artery bypass were studied. The variable concerning time of extracorporeal circulation was classified in four progressive degrees. Resistance and reactanc...
