Cardiovascular Function in Pulmonary Emphysema
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic cardiovascular disease, such as coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias, have a strong influence on each other, and systemic inflammation has been considered as the main linkage between them. On the other hand, airflow limitation may markedly affect lung mechanics in terms of static and dynamic hyperinfl...
متن کاملDisordered Pulmonary Function
Introduction The remarkable advances in pulmonary physiology during the last decade have provided new techniques with which to analyse the complex disorders present in lung disease. The increased precision of these new methods has led to the appearance of symbols, equations, graphs and the frightening paraphernalia of mathematics. The main aim of this article is to show how these measurements h...
متن کاملImpact of Emphysema Heterogeneity on Pulmonary Function
OBJECTIVES To investigate the association between emphysema heterogeneity in spatial distribution, pulmonary function and disease severity. METHODS AND MATERIALS We ascertained a dataset of anonymized Computed Tomography (CT) examinations acquired on 565 participants in a COPD study. Subjects with chronic bronchitis (CB) and/or bronchodilator response were excluded resulting in 190 cases with...
متن کاملThe effects of pneumoperitoneum on lung function in pulmonary emphysema.
The treatment of chronic hypertrophic emphysema by pneumoperitoneum has received much favourable comment in recent medical literature. In several reports on small series of cases it is claimed that this manceuvre will increase vital capacity (Brackenridge and Jones, 1953; Furman and Callaway, 1950; Gaensler and Carter, 1950; Zak and Southwell, 1953),maximum breathing capacity (Gaensler and Cart...
متن کاملRelationship between pulmonary emphysema and renal function in smokers.
In the December 2012 issue of CHEST , Kennedy et al 1 raise an important point about acknowledging the boundaries of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial fi ne-needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), citing infectious complications after sampling a nonsubsternal thyroid nodule. There are a number of issues to consider. The fi rst is infection. Proximity to the vocal cords is likely to be an is...
