Measurement of CT lung density in patients with chronic asthma.
Evidence for the presence of emphysema in patients with asthma is controversial. We have previously shown that decreased lung density, measured by computed tomographic (CT) scanning, preoperatively, correlates with morphometric measurements of microscopic emphysema in subsequently resected lungs. The aim of this study was to compare CT lung density, in 17 patients with chronic asthma (forced ex...

15 صفحه اولParenchymal emphysema measured by CT lung density correlates with lung function in patients with bullous disease.
In subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) computed tomographic (CT) lung density correlates with direct pathological measurements of the size of the distal airspaces, as well as with measurements of airflow limitation and impairment of the diffusing capacity. Thus, CT lung density can be used to quantify emphysema in life. We wanted to assess the use of CT scanning to detect...
متن کاملEffect of Zafirlukast on improving lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases
Background : There is little evidence about the role of Zafirlukast (a highly selective LTD4 antagonist) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The Zafirlukast can reduce the need for short-acting rescue β2 agonists, produce fewer exacerbations of asthma and increased quality of life as possible benefits treatment for asthma. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of Zafir...
