Evaluating respiratory musculature, quality of life, anxiety, and depression among patients with indeterminate chronic Chagas disease and symptoms of pulmonary hypertension
(Soc Brasileira Medicina Tropical, 2017-03-01)
Introduction: Chagas disease (CD) is progressive and incapacitating, especially when cardiopulmonary function is affected. For example, respiratory muscle weakness can cause dyspnea upon exertion and fatigue, which may be ...
Validity of the Pulmonary Embolism Rule-Out Criteria (PERC) to rule out pulmonary embolism in low-risk patients at high altitudeValidez del Pulmonary Embolism Rule-Out Criteria (PERC) para descartar embolia pulmonar en pacientes con bajo riesgo a gran altitud
(Acta Médica Colombiana, 2021)
Objectives: to validate the diagnostic yield of the PERC score for ruling out pulmonary embolism in low-risk patients at high altitudes (>2500 meters above sea level [ASL]). Methods: a cross-sectional study with diagnostic ...

(Amer Coll Chest Physicians, 2006-07-01)
Study objectives: To assess the energy spent by COPD patients using or not using energy conservation techniques (ECTs) during activities of daily living (ADL).Method: the patients were evaluated in two different situations. ...
Gender differences in predictors of health status in patients with COPD
(Soc Brasileira Pneumologia Tisiologia, 2010-01-01)
Objective: To evaluate the health status (HS) of COPD patients and to identify the main predictors of HS in these patients according to gender. Methods: The study included 90 COPD patients (60 males and 30 females; mean ...
Effect of 0.25 ppm Ozone exposure on pulmonary damage induced by bleomycin
(BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH, 2005)
To study the effect of ozone in a chronically damaged lung, we used a bleomycin (BLM) induced pulmonary
fibrosis model. Both endotracheal instillation of BLM and O3 exposure both produce lung inflammation and
fibrosis. ...

Predictors of health status do not change over three-year periods and exacerbation makes difference in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2011-12-09)
Background: The association between disease markers and health status (HS) overtime is unclear. The aim of this study was to verify the predictors of HS at baseline and after three years in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary ...

Off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass surgery and postoperative pulmonary dysfunction
Objective: To investigate how off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) affects postoperative pulmonary function when compared with on-pump CABG. Design: Prospective clinical study. Setting: University-affiliated ...
