Small airway morphology and lung function in the transition from normality to chronic airway obstruction.
This study investigated the relationships between pathological changes in small airways (<6 mm perimeter) and lung function in 22 nonasthmatic subjects (20 smokers) undergoing lung resection for peripheral lesions. Preoperative pulmonary function tests revealed airway obstruction [ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) < 70%] in 12 subjects and normal lung ...
متن کاملThe preventive effect of Brassica napus L. oil on pathophysiological changes of respiratory system in experimental asthmatic rat
Objective: Asthma is an airway complex disease defined by reversible airway narrowing and obstruction, chronic airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, and tissue remodeling. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Brassica napus L. (B. napus) on airway pathologic changes in a rat model of asthma. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four rats were divided into 4 groups: contr...
متن کاملOverlap Syndrome in Respiratory Medicine: Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are highly prevalent chronic diseases in the general population. Both are characterized by similar mechanisms: airway inflammation, airway obstruction, and airway hyperresponsiveness. However, the distinction between the two obstructive diseases is not always clear. Multiple epidemiological studies demonstrate that in elderly people with o...

Abstract Background & Aims: The peripheral parts of the lung are known as the main place of airflow obstruction in asthmatic patients; but the symptoms of asthma with the location of airway obstruction are still unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between asthma symptoms and severity of asthma and proximal and distal airways using function tests. Materials &...
