AbstractThe Bronchus Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma invades the bronchial epithelial tissue and is histologically characterized by a lympho epithelial small cell infiltrate. We present a case of a Bronchus Associated Lymphoid Tissue (BALT) Lymphoma, rad.....
AbstractBackground: Flying disc (FD) game might improve the physical activity (PA) in patients with long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT). However, the objectively-measured intensity and the safety of FD game have not been evaluated. In order to apply the FD game .....
AbstractPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare condition characterized by small pulmonary artery remodeling that leads to chronic precapillary pulmonary hypertension, elevated pulmonary vascular resistance, and right heart failure. Therapeutic optio.....
AbstractBackground: The WHO has identified ambient air pollution as a high public health priority. The community health research programs that were performed by Tikrit University College of Medicine have estimated that more than a fourth of Iraqi populations.....
AbstractMucociliary transport in the nose serves as the first host defense against the inhalation of atmospheric particulate matter. Nasal Mucociliary Clearance (NMC) is determined to obtain an in vivo measurement of the effectiveness of the interaction betw.....
AbstractDespite adequate adherence and completion of anti-asthmatic treatment, many patients remain poorly controlled or uncontrolled. Asthma management is based on the use of medication to reverse the bronchial obstruction and eliminate the airway inflammat.....
AbstractIn the present study, a review of the literature that examines the widely used clinical applications of Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) and Impulse Oscillometry (IOS) is attempted, in order to evaluate the contribution of the method to laboratory .....
AbstractPurpose: The relevance of Time to Disappearance (Td) of Tuberculosis (TB) bacilli from sputa in response to anti-TB therapy and clinical parameters were investigated to determine clinical factors that predict response to anti-TB therapy.
Method:.....
AbstractBackground: Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy (ENB) is generally implemented as a diagnostic tool in the investigation of suspicious pulmonary nodules. The use of this technique to mark pulmonary nodules (using dye) prior to surgical resection .....
AbstractChronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) or chronic rejection after lung transplantation may exhibit a conventional obstructive form (bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, BOS) or a restrictive form with predominant involvement of peripheral lung tissu.....
AbstractChronic obstructive pulmonary disease is defined as a situation of progressive airflow limitation, sometimes reversible, whose pathogenetic mechanisms responsible are to be attributed, on the one hand, to the progressive obstruction of the central an.....
AbstractNutritional depletion is known to be a determinant of outcome in chronic respiratory disease but there is a paucity of evidence on nutritional intervention in bronchiectasis. The aim of this study was to retrospectively review body mass index (BMI) a.....
AbstractBackground: Improvement of daily physical activity (PA) is important for the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) because PA is the strongest predictor of all-cause mortality from COPD. Bronchodilator is recommended by guideline.....
