Outcome measures for manual lung hyperinflation: not there yet!
e recent systematic review by Paulus and colleagues provides an insight into manual lung hyperinfl ation (MHI) [1], but deserves further comment. MHI research has generally focused on surrogate measures of secretion clearance, such as lung/thorax compliance [2]. Investigation into the eff ects of MHI on airway secretion clearance is warranted to elucidate the mechanistic and hence potential the...
متن کاملVpu and BST2: Still Not There Yet?
Extensive investigations have identified two cellular proteins in humans that potently inhibit HIV type 1 (HIV-1) replication and are widely accepted as "restriction factors." APOBEC3G was identified as a restriction factor that diminishes HIV-1 replication by inducing G-to-A hypermutation in the viral genome, while BST2 has been identified as another restriction factor that impairs the release...
متن کاملScreening for lung cancer in Malaysia: are we there yet?
3 BACKGROUND The recently published (New England Journal of Medicine August 2011) preliminary results of the multi center randomized North American National Lung Cancer Screening Trial (NLCST) demonstrated for the first time a significant reduction in disease specific mortality with screening for lung cancer with spiral computed tomography (CT). The landmark findings of this trial mandates seri...
متن کاملEffect of Lung Manual Hyperinflation (MHI) on Oxygenation of Patients Following Abdominal Surgery and T-Tube Support
Background: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) are of the major reasons for death. Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) and delayed extubation are leading to the incidence of more seriously complications. The effect of hyperinflation has not been investigated in control of these complications in patients who have been weaned from mechanical ventilation and are undergoing T-tube suppo...
متن کاملOutcome measures in the lung.
The indolent progression of lung disease in SSc has caused great difficulty in therapeutic studies as outcome measures need to be sensitive. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has been more widely studied and can usefully be extrapolated to SSc, but is more rapidly progressive. In IPF, forced vital capacity (FVC) trends are the most accurate serial surrogate for mortality. Serial gas transfer ...
