Análisis del signo de Hoover en relación con parametros funcionales, radiologicos y de radio de curvatura en pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica
[Relationship between Hoover sign, functional and variables, and curvature radius in patients with obstructive pulmonary disease]

Medicina (B.Aires); 63 (5), 2003
The purpose of the present study was: 1) to relate the Hoover sign -SH (+)- with several functional (spirometry and lung volumes) and radiographic (AP x-ray) parameters, 2) to characterize the changes in diaphragmatic curvature radius and the efficiency and to establish some relationships with the functi...

Reserva de fuerza del diafragma en pacientes obesos
[Diaphragmatic reserve strength in obese patients]

Medicina (B.Aires); 51 (6), 1991
Nine obese patients (OB) and seven normal subjects (N) were studied in order to determine diaphragmatic strength reserve, measured in terms of diaphragm Tension/Time Index (TTdi). This index was measured with the patients awake and during the obstructive apnea (OA) episodes. TTdi was 2.7 times superior i...
