Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized with progressive airflow limitation as a result of abnormal inflammation due to inhalation of various noxious gases and particulate dusts. COPD is an increasing important health problem that is parallel to the increasing habit of tobacco
OBJECTIVE
To describe the pulmonary function in children and adolescents with postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO), as well as to evaluate potential risk factors for severe impairment of pulmonary function.
METHODS
The pulmonary function of 77 participants, aged 8-18 years, was assessed by
BACKGROUND
Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is an uncommon and severe form of chronic obstructive lung disease in children that results from an insult to the lower respiratory tract.
METHODS
A case-control study of children under the age of 3 years was performed in 109 cases and 99 controls to
BACKGROUND
Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the major hurdle preventing long-term success in lung transplantation, and is the primary reason for the 50% 5-year survival. Recipient and perioperative risk factors have been investigated in BOS, but less is known about donor factors.
Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is a progressive, insidious lung disease affecting allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients. Unfortunately, there is no standardized approach for treatment of BOS in post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients. Pulmonary
Diacetyl and 2,3-pentanedione inhalation have been suggested as causes of severe respiratory disease, including bronchiolitis obliterans, in food/flavoring manufacturing workers. Both compounds are present in many food items, tobacco, and other consumer products, but estimates of exposures
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are battery-operated devices to insufflate nicotine or other psychoactive e-liquid aerosols. Despite initial claims of e-cigarettes as a nicotine-cessation device, aggressive marketing of e-cigarettes has led to an explosion in adolescents' and young adults' use
Several chronic lung diseases have been linked to cigarette smoking (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and cancer are associated with increased tobacco use). We recently described a collagen fragment, proline-glycine-proline (PGP), chemotactic for neutrophils, that appears to play a role
OBJECTIVE
Despite mandatory tobacco abstinence following lung transplantation (LTX), some recipients resume smoking cigarettes. The effect of smoking on allograft function, exercise performance, and symptomatology is unknown.
METHODS
A retrospective review was conducted of LTX recipients who
METHODS
Pulmonary department of a tertiary health care centre in India.
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical profile of diseases causing chronic airflow limitation (CAL).
METHODS
Standard criteria were used for the diagnosis for various diseases causing CAL. Severity of CAL was graded using forced
The term "obstructive bronchiolitis" used in this review covers different clinicopathological aspects. On the one hand, it refers to "small airways disease", where bronchiolar narrowings are widespread, secondary to post inflammatory fibrotic changes linked to tobacco smoke or fibrogenic dust
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is defined in several different ways using different criteria based on symptoms, physiological impairment and pathological abnormalities. While some use COPD to mean smoking related chronic airway disease, others include all disorders causing chronic
BACKGROUND
MacLeod syndrome, also known as Swyer-James syndrome, is a rare syndrome characterized by unilateral lung hyperlucency. It is a form of constrictive bronchiolitis which is caused by repeated acute bronchiolitis and/or pulmonary infections during infancy.
METHODS
The patient was a
A variety of pulmonary complications related to the use of freebase cocaine have been reported in the medical literature. Pulmonary barotrauma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, pulmonary hemorrhage, obliterative bronchiolitis, asthma, and pulmonary edema have all recently been described. The number of
Successful treatment of a severe haemoptysis with microcoil embolization in an en block double-lung transplanted patient is described. A 53 year old woman with advanced bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome experienced severe haemoptysis 26 months after an en bloc double-lung transplantation with direct
