Evaluation of Emphysema in Patients with Asthma Using High-resolution CT
BACKGROUND Bronchial asthma is a clinical syndrome characterized by reversibility of airway obstruction. However, many asthmatics have evidence of residual airway obstruction. It has become evident that the repair of the chronic inflammatory process can lead to various irreversible changes. It is generally accepted that the most common cause for the change is cigarette smoking but it is controv...
متن کاملSmoking, asthma, chronic airflow obstruction and COPD.
Cigarette smoking is the most prevalent risk factor for the development of adult-onset respiratory diseases associated with airflow obstruction, namely emphysema and chronic bronchitis, commonly called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Regrettably, childhood asthma does not reduce the likelihood of initiation of smoking [1] but it is not fully clear how smoking impacts pre-existing ...
متن کاملEmphysematous change in chronic asthma in relation to cigarette smoking. Assessment by computed tomography.
To evaluate the occurrence and the degree of emphysema in chronic asthma in relation to the effect of cigarette smoking, we examined 35 subjects with irreversible airway obstruction (17 nonsmokers and 18 smokers). We performed pulmonary function testing and CT scans on all subjects. The ES was assessed by a visual scoring system on CT scans. Between nonsmokers and smokers, there was a significa...

which results solely from widespread bronchial infection, e.g., acute or chronic bronchitis; from destructive diseases of the lung, e.g., pulmonary emphysema; or from cardiovascular disorders. Asthma, as here defined may occur in vascular diseases, but in these instances the airway obstruc. tion is not causally related to these diseases.” In rare instances, allergy to tobacco products has been ...
متن کاملHyperinflation in asthma and emphysema. Assessment by pulmonary function testing and computed tomography.
To assess the role of emphysema on the hyperinflation in chronic asthma, we studied 20 subjects with irreversible airflow limitation. Ten of the subjects had asthma and had never smoked; the other ten were cigarette smokers. Pulmonary function testing and chest computed tomography (CT) scans were performed on all subjects. Emphysema was graded using a score based on the percentage of lung invol...
