Inspiratory muscle force in normal subjects and patients with interstitial lung disease.
Measurements of the lowest mouth pressures developed during maximum static inspiratory efforts are related to the recoil force of the lung and occasionally are influenced by glottic closure. The measurement of minimal pleural pressures (P pl min) over the entire range of inspiratory capacity eliminates both problems and, in addition, provides a good estimate of the subject's cooperation. Using ...
متن کاملPhenotypic analysis of alveolar macrophages in normal subjects and in patients with interstitial lung disease.
Cytospin preparations of mononuclear inflammatory cells were made from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid obtained from 15 patients with interstitial lung disease (nine patients with sarcoidosis and six patients with cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis) and six control subjects. These preparations were examined with a panel of monoclonal antibodies that have been shown to distinguish subpopulations of m...
متن کاملProduction of plasminogen activator by alveolar macrophages in normal subjects and patients with interstitial lung disease.
Increased production of the serum protease plasminogen activator is associated with tissue damage. The in vitro production of plasminogen activator by alveolar macrophages obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage was studied in 22 normal subjects and 28 patients with interstitial lung disease to determine whether plasminogen activator is produced by normal alveolar macrophages and whether this is inc...
متن کاملEffects of inspiratory and expiratory muscle training in normal subjects.
The present study aimed to clarify the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and expiratory muscle training (EMT) on ventilatory muscle strength, pulmonary function and responses during exercise testing. Young healthy women were randomly assigned to 3 groups: IMT (n=16); EMT (n=16); or untrained normal controls (NC, n=8). Subjects in the IMT and EMT groups trained for 15 minutes twice da...
متن کاملC - Reactive Protein Levels in Patients with Periodontal Disease and Normal Subjects
Although periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease but some factors of acute inflammation phase are involved in this disease among which is the C-Reactive protein (CRP). To minimize its effects, anti-inflammatory drugs or non-pharmacological approaches such as oral hygiene is recommended. CRP can also be used for the prediction and early detection of periodontal disease. The aim of the pr...
