Abstract Background Although lung clearance index (LCI) is a sensitive indicator of mild cystic fibrosis (CF) disease, it rarely measured due to lengthy protocols and the commercial unavailability multiple‐breath washout (MBW) setups tracer gases. We used newly validated, commercially available nitrogen (N 2 ) MBW setup assess success rate, duration, variability LCI within 20 min timeframe, during clinical routine. also evaluated relationship between other markers CF disease. Methods One...

In cystic fibrosis (CF), tests for ventilation inhomogeneity are sensitive but not established clinical routine. We assessed feasibility of a new double-tracer gas single-breath washout (SBW) in school-aged children with CF and control subjects, compared SBW between groups multiple-breath nitrogen (MBNW). Three MBNW were performed 118 (66 CF) using side-stream ultrasonic flowmeter setup. The containing 5% sulfur hexafluoride 26.3% helium was applied during one tidal breath. Outcomes phase...

A substantial proportion of patients develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following myocardial infarction (MI). Previous research on the trajectory over time PTSD in post-MI is scant and refers to self-rated symptoms. The aim this study was investigate longitudinal course an interviewer-rated diagnosis symptom severity MI.Study participants were 40 (78% men, mean age 54 +/- 8 years) who diagnosed with using Clinician-administered Scale (CAPS) after average 5 4 months (range 2-16...

Based on a brief systematic review suggesting dyslipidemia in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), we studied, for the first time, levels of blood lipids patients with DSM-IV diagnosis PTSD caused by myocardial infarction (MI).Study participants were eight full PTSD, subsyndromal and 31 no who diagnosed using Clinician-Administered Scale (CAPS) interview after mean 32+/-8 months MI. Levels total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density...

The timing of a breast cancer (BC) diagnosis has significant psychological impact on patients. However, it reported that those eligible for treatment regimens based neoadjuvant chemotherapy may experience high levels depression, anxiety and distress. To cope with this situation, patients deploy coping strategies. aim study is to explore effective ineffective adjustment mobilized by Moroccan newly diagnosed BC before receiving chemotherapy, as well identify their associations...
