Study of Spirometry and Airway Reactivity in Patients on Disulfirm for Treatment of Alcoholism
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of our study was to examine the short term effect ofdisulfiram on pulmonary functions of alcohol dependent subjects, who were chronic smokers J/Ve compared FEV1 % values on spirometry and airway reactivity to histamine challenge in alcohol dependent subjects at baseline and after 2 weeks of treatment with disulfiram. Disulfiram did not significantly alter FEVI values and airway reactivity during the treatment period and can thus be used safely in alcohol dependent subjects who are current smokers.

Inhalational insulin was withdrawn from the market due to its potential to produce airway hyper-reactivity and bronchoconstriction. So the present study was designed to explore the acute effects of insulin on airway reactivity of guinea pigs and protective effects of salbutamol and beclomethasone against insulin induced airway hyper-responsiveness on isolated tracheal smooth muscle of guinea pi...

Background and purpose: Recent studies show that bronchial hyper-responsiveness occurs in a high proportion of inflammatory bowel disease. Âirway inflammation is a common pattern of respiratory involvement in ÏBD patients and is a major finding in bronchial asthma. This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of asthma and air way hyper-responsiveness among ulcerative colitis patients. ...

Background and purpose: Asthma is one of the most prevalent chronic respiratory diseases which has become more prevalent over the past three decades. Seroflo and Seretide are inhalers that contain fluticasone (an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid) and salmeterol (a long-acting bronchodilator). This study aimed to compare the effects of Seroflo and Seretide nasal sprays on spirometry criteria and...
