Obesity, respiratory function and breathlessness.
Oxygen consumption dedicated to respiratory work (V̇O2RESP) during quiet breathing is small in normal patients. In the morbidly obese, at high minute ventilations, V̇O2RESP is greater than in normal patients, but V̇O2RESP during quiet breathing in these patients is not known. We postulated that such patients have increased V̇O2RESP at rest which may predispose them to respiratory failure when addit...
متن کاملNeural respiratory drive and breathlessness in COPD.
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that neural respiratory drive, measured using diaphragm electromyogram (EMGdi) activity expressed as a percentage of maximum (EMGdi%max), is closely related to breathlessness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We also investigated whether neuroventilatory uncoupling contributes significantly to breathlessness intensity over an awareness of...
متن کاملFungal Diseases of the Respiratory Tracts-Section 4
Fusarium spp., have been recognized during the past decade to cause disseminated infection, particularly in granulocytopenic patients undergoing intensive antileukemic chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation. The lung, sinuses, and skin are the primary portals of entry. The periungual regions of the toes notably may be a particularly important site of initial invasion. Invasive Fusarium inf...
متن کاملAntibiotic Sensitivity of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale Isolates Associated with Respiratory Diseases.
187 commercial checken flocks affected with respiratory diseases were examined for Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale isolation. The bacterium was isolated from 105 (56.2%) poultry flocks. Drug sensitivity test using standard disk diffusion technique was performed with 19 antibiotics. All the isolates were susceptible to tiamulin and most of them were susceptible to chloramphenicol and linco-spect...
متن کاملFungal Diseases of the Respiratory Tracts-Section 3
The respiratory tract is the primary mode of entry for the Zygomycetes. Pulmonary infections usually occur in the immunocompromised patient and resemble those caused by the aspergillus spp. Risk factors include hematologic problems, ketoacidosis, long- term immunosuppressive therapy, and underlying lung disease. Needle aspirates or biopsy specimens provide the best yield for diagnosis. Tissue s...
