Statins and Pulmonary Hypertension in Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is a chronic multisystem disease with a considerable burden. One of its most common complications is pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). It has been demonstrated that the development of PAH is correlated with decreased quality of life and survival. Different medications have been proposed for the treatment of PAH, among which one can name statins. Howeve...
متن کاملSingle lung transplantation for severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Washington University Lung Transplant Group.
Single lung transplantation (SLT) has been considered physiologically inappropriate for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It has been postulated that the high static compliance and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance of the native lung functioning in parallel with the more normal allografted lung could cause unacceptable ventilation-perfusion mismatching and/or over...
متن کاملAspergillus colonization in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Background and Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been recognized as a risk factor for invasive aspergillosis. Airway colonization by Aspergillus species is a common feature of chronic pulmonary diseases. Nowadays, the incidence of COPD has increased in critically ill patients. The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify Aspergillus colonies in the respirator...

متن کاملLung Compliance and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, namely, pulmonary emphysema and chronic bronchitis, is a chronic inflammatory response of the airways to noxious particles or gases, with resulting pathological and pathophysiological changes in the lung. The main pathophysiological aspects of the disease are airflow obstruction and hyperinflation. The mechanical properties of the respiratory system and it...
