Physiological phenotyping of pediatric chronic obstructive airway diseases.
Inert tracer gas washout (IGW) measurements detect increased ventilation inhomogeneity (VI) in chronic lung diseases. Their suitability for different diseases, such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), has already been shown. However, it is still unclear if physiological phenotypes based on different IGW variables can be defined independently of underlying disease. Eigh...
متن کاملReceptor Agonist Synergism in Obstructive Airway Diseases
For a long time it was believed that 2-adrenergic receptor agonists used in the treatment of obstructive airway diseases worked primarily on airway smooth muscle cells, causing relaxation, whereas glucocorticoids primarily improved airway function via their anti-inflammatory action, indicating that their clinical synergism occurred at the organism rather than the cellular level. However, it is ...
متن کامل[Anaesthesia for patients with obstructive airway diseases].
Obstructive lung diseases like asthma or chronic obstructive lung diseases have a high prevalence and are one of the four most frequent causes of death. Obstructive lung diseases can be significantly influenced by the choice of anesthetic techniques and anesthetic agents. Basically, the severity of the COPD and the degree of bronchial hyperreactivity will determine the perioperative anesthetic ...
متن کاملValue of chest radiography in phenotyping chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The objectives of the present study were to reappraise chest radiography for the diagnosis of emphysema, using computed tomography (CT) as the reference standard, and to establish whether or not chest radiography is useful for phenotyping chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients (n = 154) who had undergone posteroanterior and lateral chest radiography and CT for diagnostic purpose...
متن کاملPhenotyping the heterogeneity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a heterogeneous disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Current diagnostic criteria based on the presence of fixed airflow obstruction and symptoms do not integrate the complex pathological changes occurring within lung, do not define different airway inflammatory patterns, nor do they define different physiological changes or...
