Sarcoidosis is a multiorgan granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. The predominance Th1‑related cytokines observed in the bronchoalveolar fluid (BALF) pulmonary sarcoidosis. Recently, Th17 cells have been postulated to be involved pathogenesis more prevalent nonsmokers than smokers. exact effect smoking on inflammation this remains unclear.The aim study was evaluate Th1/Th2/Th17‑related cytokine concentration BALF patients with sarcoidosis relation status.The included 74 confirmed Data...
Persistent tachypnea of infancy (PTI) is the most common interstitial lung disease in young children. As no standardized therapeutic guidelines exist, different pharmaceuticals are used to treat PTI; inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and bronchodilators being mostly used. This observation assessed effectiveness ICS children with PTI enrolled children's diseases (chILD)-EU Register.Symptomatic were observed according a predetermined stepwise protocol including as first choice treatment (6 weeks)....
Abstract Lung ultrasound (LUS) has been increasingly used in diagnosing and monitoring of various pulmonary diseases children. The aim the current study was to evaluate its usefulness children with persistent tachypnea infancy (PTI). This a controlled, prospective, cross‐sectional that included PTI healthy subjects. In patients PTI, LUS performed at baseline then after 6 12 months follow‐up. Baseline results were compared (a) high‐resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images, (b)...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> A 20% reduction in the FEV<sub>1</sub> is routinely used as an end point for methacholine challenge testing (MCT). Measurement of effort dependent, and some patients are not able to perform acceptable repeatable forced expiration maneuvers. The goal present study was investigate diagnostic value airway resistance measurement by oscillation technique (FOT), body plethysmography, interrupter compared with traditionally accepted standard evaluating responsiveness during...
Airway resistance is the ratio of driving pressure to rate airflow in airways. The most frequent methods used measure airway are whole-body plethysmography, interrupter technique and forced oscillation technique. All these allow during respiration at level close tidal volume, they do not require breathing manoeuvres or deep measurement. popular method for measuring plethysmography. results plethysmography include among others following parameters: (Raw), conductance (Gaw), specific (sRaw)...
In patients with suspected asthma and no airflow limitation in spirometry, methacholine challenge testing (MCT) for airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is an option of documenting variable limitation. The goal the study was to assess ability blood eosinophils, fractional concentration exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) distal airways function discriminate AHR from those normal responsiveness (AR).We analyzed baseline data 42 participants who underwent MCT because asthma-like symptoms...
Background: The understanding of the real flow profiles through a dry powder inhaler (DPI), generated by asthma patients, is prerequisite for satisfactory drug delivery to lungs. aims study were assess relationship between spirometric measures and inhalation low-resistance DPI, compare parameters those optimal suboptimal technique type. Methods: Both healthy adult volunteers patients with included in study. Spirometry was conducted along modified flow-volume test detect expiratory levels...
Background: The severity of airway obstruction may affect patient's ability to perform an effective drug inhalation from a dry powder inhaler (DPI). Also, incorrect technique negatively the efficacy asthma treatment. aims study were (1) analyze and compare profiles recorded with use different techniques, thus, (2) establish model representative for healthy subjects mild moderate-to-severe asthma. Methods: This was performed in volunteers, patients A modified flow-volume test define two...
Computed tomography (CT) plays a pivotal role in the initial evaluation of patients suspected sarcoidosis. Although it has significant limitations associated with radiation exposure, CT scanning is also occasionally used to follow-up Hitherto, no widely accepted method quantitative assessment pulmonary involvement sarcoidosis been established. The aims study were as follows: (1) assess utility open-source, free charge DICOM Viewer software analysis sarcoidosis; (2) compare parameters results...
<b>Background:</b> Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI) is an idiopathic interstitial lung disease (ILD) childhood. HRCT a gold standard in diagnosis NEHI. As has some limitations, ultrasound (LUS) arouses great interest as alternative imagine method pulmonary diseases children. <b>Objective:</b> The study was aimed to evaluate the usefulness LUS and monitoring <b>Methods:</b> This prospective that included children with NEHI diagnosed between 2014 2015. In patients performed at...
