ABSTRACT Background and Objective Symptom‐based questionnaires handheld lung function devices are widely used for COPD case finding, but the optimal combination remains unclear. This study aimed to compare diagnostic accuracy (DA) of various combinations develop a case‐finding strategy. Methods cross‐sectional, prospective, observational enrolled participants aged ≥ 40 years with respiratory symptoms 10 smoking pack‐years. Participants completed three (COPD questionnaire [CDQ],...
SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins (SP) can bind to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiC) and trigger an inflammatory process. Angiotensin-(1-7) may have anti-inflammatory effect through activation of Mas receptor. This study aims investigate whether SP induce inflammation ACE2 which be modulated angiotensin-(1-7)/Mas receptor axis. HPAEpiC were treated with presence or absence antagonist-dalbavancin agonist-angiotensin-(1-7)....
Abstract Background Limited research has investigated the relationship between small airway dysfunction (SAD) and static lung hyperinflation (SLH) in patients with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) especially dyspnea fatigue. Methods 64 PASC were enrolled July 2020 December 2022 a prospective observational cohort. Pulmonary function tests, impulse oscillometry (IOS), symptom questionnaires performed two, five eight months after acute infection. Multivariable logistic regression models...
<title>Abstract</title> Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore the changes in HRV before and after cardiac surgery relationship between quality life. Methods A total 21 patients who received were included study. All cases conducted with a five-minute ECG uploaded by Bluetooth signal three times. ECGs measured operation (1st), (2nd), one month (3rd). parameters included: standard deviation normal (SDNN), low frequency (LF), high (HF), normalized (LF %), LF/HF. In third...
Abstract Background: The prognostic factors for hospital mortality in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have not been characterised well. We aimed to determine the impact of respiratory hospitalisation on patient outcomes and predictors mortality. Methods: Data from IPF was collected analysed two cohorts, TaiwanNational Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) between 2001 2011 a national medical centre (NMC)between 2001and 2015. Results: 122 NHIRD cohort were recruited....
