To document the normal values of pulmonary function tests in children and changes occurring in their values with various respiratory disorders, a study was carried over a period of one year in 95 healthy controls (39 females and 56 males) of 8-13 years of age and 51 cases with respiratory disorders (bronchial asthma-31, pneumonia-10, empyema-10) of matched age, sex and height distribution. The ...

Tobacco addiction is a major public health problem. Numerous scientific studies have been conducted on the harms of tobacco products. However, number intervention investigating effect long-term awareness harm products Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and Respiratory Function (RFT) are limited. Our goal to investigate impact these par...

Impaired lung function, and consequent respiratory morbidity including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, may have their origins in early life [1–3]. Genome-wide analysis studies (GWAS) have identified a number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in those of European ancestry that affect adult lung function, as measured by forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and FEV1/for...

Amaç: Çalışmada amatör futbolcularda işaret parmağı (2D) ve yüzük parmağının (4D) uzunluk oranı (2D/4D) ile solunum fonksiyonlarının ilişkisini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır.

Background It is known that smoking reduces the effectiveness of aerobic exercises and can have negative effects throughout body. Purpose This study analyzed effect on thickness accessory muscles respiration, as well forced vital capacity (FVC) expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), during a 20-minute stair-climbing exercise for young male female adults with without smoking. Study design Pre-tes...

In order to distinguish the effects of lung disease from those of normal growth and development, lung function is expressed in comparison with reference data, with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) commonly being presented as % predicted. FEV1 % pred has been identified as being of prognostic value in cystic fibrosis (CF), such that an FEV1 of ,30% pred or rapid decline to that level shoul...

Background: Asthma is a common disease and major public health concern. Respiratory symptoms are related to its prognosis, which in turn associates with lung function. Still this association on long-term basis not entirely understood. Aim: To study the of type number respiratory FEV1 decline women men asthma. Method: A population-based cohort adults asthma was examined at e...

Rationale: The lung clearance index (LCI) is responsive to acute respiratory events in preschool children with cystic fibrosis (CF), but its utility identify and manage these school-age CF not well defined.Objectives: To describe changes LCI CF.Methods: In a multisite prospective observational study, the FEV1 were measured quarterly during events. Linear regression was used compare relative FEV...
