متن کاملExercise capacity of children with pediatric lung disease.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary function of children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is similar at rest even though the mechanisms of injury differ. We sought to compare the peak exercise responses in children with BPD versus CF while controlling for pulmonary impairment, nutritional status, gender, age, height, and predicted forced expired volume in 1 second (approximately ...
متن کاملAerosol therapy is a very important administration route in the treatment of lung diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis (CF) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Aerosols are also used to deliver systemic drugs
diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis (CF) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Aerosols are also used to deliver systemic drugs such as vaccines, insulin, antibiotics and pain medications. To treat these diseases effectively with medical aerosols one needs to understand the basics of aerosol science and the operating principles of the devices a...
متن کاملOn the horizon: neonatal lung transplantation.
There are several congenital lung lesions that result in severe pulmonary hypoplasia and neonatal death. These malformations include congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), oligohydramnios induced pulmonary hypoplasia, and congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung. Severely affected newborns are not salvageable by current surgical techniques or medical treatment, although one new ex...
متن کاملB-type natriuretic peptide levels in preterm neonates with bronchopulmonary dysplasia: a marker of severity?
RATIONALE FOR THE STUDY B type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a hormone released in response to stretching of the ventricular wall. The role of BNP as a biomarker of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has not been clarified. OBJECTIVE To determine if plasma BNP concentrations correlate with the severity of BPD. METHODS This prospective observational case control study included 60 preterm infant...
