متن کاملEffects of beclomethasone/formoterol fixed combination on lung hyperinflation and dyspnea in COPD patients
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common disease characterized by airflow obstruction and lung hyperinflation leading to dyspnea and exercise capacity limitation. OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to evaluate whether an extra-fine combination of beclomethasone and formoterol (BDP/F) was effective in reducing air trapping in COPD patients with hyperinflation....
متن کاملCritical evaluation of computerised x ray planimetry for the measurement of lung volumes.
BACKGROUND Computerised x-ray planimetry has been advocated as an alternative to body plethysmography and helium dilution for measuring static lung volumes. The accuracy and reproducibility of this method has been assessed in comparison with these standard methods. METHODS Plethysmographic and planimetric measurements of total lung capacity (TLC) and functional residual capacity (FRC) were ma...
