[ 1 ] - The Impact of Treatment on Serum Level of Procalcitonin in Patients with Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Introduction: About one third of the world's population is infected with tuberculosis (TB) and each year, about 1.5 to 2 million people die from TB. Procalcitonin (PCT) is an inflammatory marker that its level has variable Materials and Methods: This conducted on patients with pulmonary TB. Data were collected using a check list. The serum level of PCT was measured by ELISA test at the beginnin...
[ 2 ] - Pulmonary Artery Agenesis with Bronchial Asthma
Unilateral Pulmonary Artery Agenesis (UPAA) is a rare congenital anomaly during the 4 th week of gestational age. It is defined as an absence of pulmonary parenchyma and its supporting artery. A 9-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital because of chronic cough. Chest examination showed a decrement in lung sound of right hemi-thorax with expiratory wheeze. Chest radiography (CXR) revealed a...
[ 3 ] - The Evidence of Hyperinflation on Chest X Ray and its Correlation with Air Flow Obstruction in COPD Patients
Introduction: According to the latest statistical and epidemiological studies, COPD will become the fourth leading cause of death in 2030 worldwide. Scientists are studying on methods to diagnose COPD in the patients in early stages, because it is a curable and preventable disease in early stages. In this study, evidences of hyperinflation on ...
[ 4 ] - The Significance of BODE (BMI, Obstruction, Dyspnea, Exercise) Index in Patients with Mustard Lung
Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) secondary to sulfur mustard exposure, known as mustard lung, is an important late pulmonary complication. The BODE (Body mass index, Obstruction, Dyspnea, and Exercise) index has been established as a valuable tool for determining the adverse consequences of COPD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the BODE index in pat...

سندرم هیپوونتیلاسیون ناشی از چاقی با هیپرکاپنی مزمن روزانه در فرد چاق و عوارض ناشی از آن از جمله هیپوکسی، پلی سیتمی، خواب آلودگی روزانه، اختلالات کیفیت خواب و سردردهای صبحگاهی مشخص می شود. تشخیص آن با پالس اکسیمتری شبانه،کاپنوگرافی و پلی سومنوگرافی شبانه است. اساس درمان را کاهش وزن و اعمال فشار مثبت راههای هوایی با NIPPV تشکیل میدهد. چاقی خود ریسک فاکتوری جهت ترومبوز وریدی است و اساس درمان آ...
[ 6 ] - The Relationship between the Severity of Airway Obstruction and COPD Diagnostic Questionnaire Score in COPD Patients
Background & objectives: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by irreversible airflow limitation and systemic inflammation which is also associated with pulmonary and extra-pulmonary complications. COPD Diagnostic Questionnaire (CDQ) is a valid questionnaire that is used to identify patients with COPD. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between ...
[ 7 ] - The Effect of Conjugated Linoleic Acid supplementation on the Serum Leptin Level, Pulmonary Function and Quality of Life in COPD Patients
Background & objectives: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is accompanied by systemic inflammations and is characterized by irreversible airflow limitations. Leptin is a cytokine with pre-inflammatory effect. However, there have been no studies on the effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on the serum leptin concentration in COPD patients. Therefore, the present study aimed to e...
[ 8 ] - Effects of conjugated linoleic acid supplementation on serum levels of interleukin-6 and sirtuin 1 in COPD patients
Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by systemic inflammation and accelerated inflammaging of the lungs. Some studies showed that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of CLA supplementationon serum levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and sirtuin1 (SIRT1) in patients wit...
