Non-linear parameters of specific resistance loops to characterise obstructive airways diseases
BACKGROUND Specific resistance loops appear in different shapes influenced by different resistive properties of the airways, yet their descriptive ability is compressed to a single parameter - its slope. We aimed to develop new parameters reflecting the various shapes of the loop and to explore their potential in the characterisation of obstructive airways diseases. METHODS Our study included...
متن کاملAirways resistance and specific conductance for the diagnosis of obstructive airways diseases
BACKGROUND Airway resistance (RAW) and specific airway conductance (sGAW) are measures that reflect the patency of airways. Little is known of the variability of these measures between different lung diseases. This study investigated the contribution of RAW and sGAW to a diagnosis of obstructive airways disease and their role in differentiating asthma from COPD. METHODS 976 subjects admitted ...

15 صفحه اولThe role of small airways in obstructive airway diseases.
This review article is a summary of a seminar organised by the European Respiratory Society on "The role of small airways in obstructive airway diseases" which was held in October 2010 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The aims of the seminar were to identify important questions related to small airways involvement in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to discuss future a...
متن کاملChronic Obstructive Airways Diseases: Where Are We Now?
These diseases, especially asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cause considerable morbidity and mortality and consume substantial and increasing health care resources, this have become important global public health problem in the last decades. There is evidence that asthma affects 1-18% of the population in different countries [1]. In addition, COPD is one of the most impo...
