Lung clearance of 99mTc-DTPA in systemic lupus erythematosus.
The early demonstration of lung involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients is a difficult but important task. In the present study we attempted to identify abnormalities in pulmonary clearance of 99mTc-DTPA in SLE, correlating their clearance data with clinical findings and disease activity. Forty-six consecutive SLE patients with and without active disease (LACC score) and 30 n...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of lung clearance of 99mTc DTPA compared with other non-invasive investigations in Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in AIDS.
Various non-invasive investigations were carried out in patients infected with HIV who had respiratory symptoms with and without pneumocystis pneumonia (with pneumonia, n = 13 (five smokers); without pneumonia, n = 22 (13 smokers]. These included chest radiography; lung function tests (forced expiratory volume in one second, forced vital capacity; transfer factor and coefficient for carbon mono...

Background: Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder that has a great impact on people’s lives. Patients with epilepsy are at increased risk for poor Quality of Life (QoL). The objective of this study was to evaluate the QoL of epileptic patients in comparison to healthy persons. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 52 epileptic patients from Golbu regi...
متن کاملEarly retardation of 99mTc-DTPA radioaerosol transalveolar clearance in irradiated canine lung.
UNLABELLED The alteration of 99mTc-labeled diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) transalveolar clearance in an initial phase of radiation lung injury was experimentally investigated. METHODS Fourteen dogs were irradiated to the hemithorax with a single dose of 20 Gy. A DTPA radioaerosol study was performed before irradiation and on day 12 after irradiation. On day 14, the DTPA study was r...
