متن کاملFlow-independent nitric oxide exchange parameters in healthy adults.
Currently accepted techniques utilize the plateau concentration of nitric oxide (NO) at a constant exhalation flow rate to characterize NO exchange, which cannot sufficiently distinguish airway and alveolar sources. Using nonlinear least squares regression and a two-compartment model, we recently described a new technique (Tsoukias et al. J Appl Physiol 91: 477-487, 2001), which utilizes a pree...
متن کاملFlow-independent nitric oxide exchange parameters in cystic fibrosis.
Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) remains a promising noninvasive index for monitoring inflammatory lung diseases; however, the plateau concentration (C(NO,plat)) is nonspecific and requires a constant exhalation flow rate. We utilized a new technique that employs a variable flow rate to estimate key flow-independent parameters characteristic of NO exchange in a group (n = 9) of 10 to 14 yr-old healthy...
متن کاملEffect of smoking on exhaled nitric oxide and flow-independent nitric oxide exchange parameters.
It is a well-known fact that smoking is associated with a reduction in exhaled nitric oxide (NO) levels. There is, however, limited knowledge relating to the smoking-induced changes in production or exchange of NO in different compartments of the airways. This study comprised 221 adult subjects from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey II, who were investigated in terms of their exh...
متن کاملBronchodilation in infants with malacia or recurrent wheeze.
BACKGROUND Controversy remains regarding the effectiveness of bronchodilators in wheezy infants. AIMS To assess the effect of inhaled beta(2) agonists on lung function in infants with malacia or recurrent wheeze, and to determine whether a negative effect of beta(2) agonists on forced expiratory flow (V'(maxFRC)) is more pronounced in infants with airway malacia, compared to infants with whee...
