OBJECTIVE An epidemiological association between obesity and asthma has been confirmed, but its possible link to disease control is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate if asthma control was related with obesity. METHODS Asthmatics adult outpatients with good compliance on therapy

The objective of this observational, multicenter study was to evaluate the association of body mass index (BMI) with disease severity and prognosis in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. A total of 339 patients (197 females, 142 males) diagnosed with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis

3D Imaging in Unilateral Primary Pulmonary Hypoplasia in an Adult: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has become an integral tool in the management of acute and chronic respiratory failure. Studies have shown that use of NIV decreases the length of hospital stay, improves symptoms and also reduces the need for invasive mechanical ventilation in patients with

OBJECTIVE Diabetes mellitus, smoking, dyslipidemia, and obesity play an important role in the etiology of erectile dysfunction, particularly in cases with vascular insufficiency. These risk factors also target the lungs due to their systemic effects. METHODS Patients with penile vascular

Prevalence of lung structure abnormalities in patients with acromegaly and their relationship with gas exchange: cross-sectional analytical study with a control group.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Different functional respiratory alterations have been described in acromegaly, but their relationship with pulmonary tissue abnormalities is unknown. The objective of this study was to observe possible changes in lung structure and explain their relationship with gas exchange

Nutritional profile of lung transplant candidates.

OBJECTIVE To determine the nutritional profile of lung transplant candidates. METHODS A retrospective cross-sectional study involving lung transplant candidates at a public hospital in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Data related to gender, age and underlying lung disease were compiled for the

[Respiratory Muscle Training: State of the Art].

Only registered users can translate articles

Specific respiratory muscle training (IMT) improves the function of the inspiratory muscles. According to literature and clinical experience, there are 3 established methods: 1.) resistive load 2.) threshold load and 3.) normocapnic hyperpnea. Each training method and the associated devices have

Trends in Prevalence and Prognosis in Subjects With Acute Chronic Respiratory Failure Treated With Noninvasive and/or Invasive Ventilation.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The pattern and outcome of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) use in patients with acute or chronic respiratory disease other than COPD is not well known. The aims of this study were to investigate trends over time in underlying respiratory diseases, use of NIV, and outcomes in COPD and

Scoring CT/HRCT findings among asbestos-exposed workers: effects of patient's age, body mass index and common laboratory test results.

Only registered users can translate articles

We studied the effects of age, body mass index (BMI) and some common laboratory test results on several pulmonary CT/HRCT signs. Five hundred twenty-eight construction workers (age 38-80, mean 63 years) were imaged with spiral and high resolution CT. Images were scored by three radiologists for
