چکیده

Communications to the Editor ticed for days with a laryngeal mirror until he was able to tolerate the examination without a topical anesthetic. Indeed, using a lightbulb, head mirror, wall mirror and laryngeal mirror, he learned how to visualize his own larynx. When the next opportunity arose, Mr. Brubaker again volunteered to sit for the photography session, this time without a topical anesthetic. The result was the photograph which appears on page 500, volume 86 of Chest. I would encourage interested readers to see the full color reproduction in the first edition of the Atlas.’

Background-Based Delineation of Internal Tumor Volumes on Static Positron Emission Tomography in a Phantom Study

Objective(s): Considering the fact that the standardized uptake value (SUV) of a normal lung tissue is expressed as x±SD, x+3×SD could be considered as the threshold value to outline the internal tumor volume (ITV) of a lung neoplasm. Methods: Three hollow models were filled with 55.0 kBq/mL fluorine18- fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) to represent tumors. The models were fixed to a barrel filled w...

The physiological basis and clinical significance of lung volume measurements

From a physiological standpoint, the lung volumes are either dynamic or static. Both subclasses are measured at different degrees of inspiration or expiration; however, dynamic lung volumes are characteristically dependent on the rate of air flow. The static lung volumes/capacities are further subdivided into four standard volumes (tidal, inspiratory reserve, expiratory reserve, and residual vo...

بررسی تغییرات حجم‌های ریه پس از اصلاح زاویه اسکولیوز

    Background and Aim: The present studies on kyphoscoliosis operation demonstrate different results on lung volume changes. Some observations show increased, some show decreased and other studies show no changes in the dynamic respiratory flows.In this study we evaluated lung volumes before and after surgery. We also evaluated the correlation of repiratory lung volume changes with mean of Cob...

Reference Equations for Static Lung Volumes and TLCO from a Population Sample in Northern Greece.

Background: The most commonly used reference equations for the measurement of static lung volumes/capacities and transfer factor of the lung for CO (TLCO) are based on studies around 30-40 years old with significant limitations. Objectives: Our aim was to (1) develop reference equations for static lung volumes and TLCO using the current American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society gui...

Effect of Twelve-Week hypoxic interval training on lung volumes and records of elite swimmers in 50 and 100 meters breaststroke

Introduction: Holding the breath during exercise causes hypoxia. This study set out to investigate the effect of the 12-week hypoxic interval training on lung volume and records of elite swimmers in 50 and 100 meters breaststroke. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 22 male swimmers were randomly divided into the hypoxic interval training group (n: 13; age: 16.61±1.39 years; he...

Lung mechanics after cardiac valve replacement.

Fourteen patients undergoing single aortic or mitral valve replacement had measurements made of lung volumes, static pressure-volume (P-V) relationships, and conductance-pressure relationships during deflation before operation and again between one and two years later. At follow-up, total lung capacity (TLC), functional residual capacity (FRC), residual volume (RV), and static tidal compliance ...
