Chronic Obstructive Airways Diseases: Where Are We Now?
These diseases, especially asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cause considerable morbidity and mortality and consume substantial and increasing health care resources, this have become important global public health problem in the last decades. There is evidence that asthma affects 1-18% of the population in different countries [1]. In addition, COPD is one of the most impo...
متن کاملPotassium studies in chronic obstructive airways disease.
Seventeen male patients with chronic obstructive airways disease in remission were separated into two groups according to arterial carbon dioxide tensions. Hypercapnia was associated significantly with hypoxia and increased red cell volume whereas normocapnia was not. Normocapnic patients were significantly lighter than those with hypercapnia. Total body potassium (TBK) measured by the whole bo...
متن کاملThe role of small airways in obstructive airway diseases.
This review article is a summary of a seminar organised by the European Respiratory Society on "The role of small airways in obstructive airway diseases" which was held in October 2010 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The aims of the seminar were to identify important questions related to small airways involvement in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to discuss future a...
متن کاملAirways resistance and specific conductance for the diagnosis of obstructive airways diseases
BACKGROUND Airway resistance (RAW) and specific airway conductance (sGAW) are measures that reflect the patency of airways. Little is known of the variability of these measures between different lung diseases. This study investigated the contribution of RAW and sGAW to a diagnosis of obstructive airways disease and their role in differentiating asthma from COPD. METHODS 976 subjects admitted ...
متن کاملHaemodynamic effects of terbutaline in chronic obstructive airways disease.
Terbutaline, a cardioselective beta-adrenoceptor agonist, administered intravenously (250 micrograms) to seven patients with chronic obstructive airways disease (mean FEV1 0.99 l) resulted in reduction of mean pulmonary artery pressure (resting 23 +/- 2 to 19 +/- 2 mmHg, p < 0.05; exercise 43 +/- 3 to 35 +/- 3 mmHg, p < 0.05) and calculated pulmonary vascular resistance (resting 168 +/- 27 to 1...
