Changes in dynamic lung mechanics after lung volume reduction coil treatment of severe emphysema
(2018)We assessed the relationships between changes in lung compliance, lung volumes and dynamic hyperinflation in patients with emphysema who underwent bronchoscopic treatment with nitinol coils (coil treatment) (n=11) or ... -
Diet, lung function and swimmers' performance
(2001)Purpose: The aim of this study was to correlate athletic performance with both lung function and diet. Design: Open, uncontrolled trial. Materials and Methods: Sixty-eight swimmers (28 females and 40 males), 9-15 years ... -
The Impact of Homogeneous Versus Heterogeneous Emphysema on Dynamic Hyperinflation in Patients with Severe COPD Assessed for Lung Volume Reduction
(2015)Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) is a pathophysiologic hallmark of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of emphysema distribution on DH during a maximal cardiopulmonary ... -
Pulmonary function and circulating adhesion molecules in patients with diabetes mellitus
(2003)Background: Lung function in diabetes has been reported in several studies with contradictory results. Diabetes mellitus increases expression of adhesion molecules through hyperglycemia. These molecules play an important ... -
Pulmonary function testing in COPD: looking beyond the curtain of FEV1
(2021)Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management remains challenging due to the high heterogeneity of clinical symptoms and the complex pathophysiological basis of the disease. Airflow limitation, diagnosed by ... -
Small airways’ function in Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome
(2021)Introduction and objectives: Most of the studies of the pathophysiology of Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) focus on the collapsibility and obstruction of the upper airways. The aim of our study was the ...
