assessment of thyroid function in idiopathic pulmonary hypertension

Assessment of Thyroid Function in Idiopathic Pulmonary Hypertension.

BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (IPAH) is a rare, debilitating, and fatal disease. Late-onset treatment can lead to right heart failure, multiple organ damage, and death. Since the thyroid plays a major role in the metabolism and hemodynamics in humans, the screening of thyroid function is crucial. Thyroid dysfunction has been reported to cause pulmonary hypertension, but the thyro...

Assessment of Right Ventricular Function by Newer Imaging in Echocardiography in Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Background The aims of the study were to assess the right ventricular (RV) functions in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) with RV longitudinal strain (RVLS) in addition to conventional parameters, as well as its correlation with severity and prognosis in IPAH. Methods Twenty-two IPAH patients were followed up for 1 year. ANOVA and Gabriel's pairwise comparison te...

‏‎translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...

idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension

cytometry analysis of BAL cells. Table 1 integrates information given in our published paper, clearly demonstrating that the number of BAL neutrophils was fair in our case series. This unfortunately prevented a definitive evaluation of whether polymorph nucleates represent a source of IL-17. Nonetheless, as shown in figure 1, in selected cases with a significant number of BAL neutrophils (two s...

Pulmonary hypertension in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an untreatable diffuse parenchymal lung disease with a median survival of < 3 years. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is frequently seen in patients with IPF and is commonly attributed to hypoxic vasoconstriction and capillary destruction. Pathology findings include endothelial proliferation and medial hypertrophy that exceed those expected in the setting of hy...
