Regional lung function in scoliosis.
Radioactive xenon-133 was used to study the pattern of regional lung function in 35 scoliotic patients and 10 normal subjects in the sitting posture. The scoliotic curves were classified into three anatomical sites: high, if the apical vertebra was located between Thl and Th5; mid, between Th6 and ThlO; and low, between Thll and L4; only the primary curve was considered and in 70% of the patien...
متن کاملSmoking, leukocyte count, and ventilatory lung function in working men.
Results of a cross-sectional study of ventilatory lung function (VLF) in a group of 307 working men showed that the leukocyte count in peripheral blood is more closely associated with the relative position (percentile) of a person in the frequency distribution of VLF than is smoking intensity. Leukocyte count is significantly (and inversely) correlated with VLF in nonsmokers as well as in smoke...
متن کاملThe assessment of lung function in children with scoliosis.
Abnormalities of lung function in 92 children with idiopathic or congenital scoliosis are described. The changes are restrictive in type with reduction in vital capacity and total lung capacity but normal residual volume. In children whose curves had an early onset, the amount by which vital capacity was reduced depended on the severity of the deformity; in those whose curves began in adolescen...
متن کاملLung function asymmetry in children with congenital and infantile scoliosis.
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Progressive scoliosis alters lung function by reducing chest wall compliance and excursion and rotating intrathoracic contents, producing an increasingly asymmetric lung size. The effect of this distortion on regional lung perfusion and ventilation has not been described in children with congenital and infantile forms of scoliosis. The severity of scoliosis is often described...
متن کاملImpact of Smoking on Adults Lung Age and Ventilatory Function
Background: Although a large body of evidence exists on the effect of smoking on lung age and pulmonary function, much less attention has been dedicated to using these effects as an effective strategy in smoking cessation. Objective: The present study was carried out to investigate the impact of smoking on lung age and ventilatory function in adult Saudi in order to use these effects in a futur...
