RESUMEN Introducción: la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica constituye un problema de salud en el Hospital Territorial "Julio Miguel Aristegui Villamil" en Cárdenas de la provincia de Matanzas, siendo una de las causas de ingresos frecuentes en sus unidades de atención al grave, las cuales en ...
ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the relationship between severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and quality of life as well as COPD's correlation with depressive symptoms in West Indian subjects. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, observational study of outpatients with COPD in tert...
ABSTRACT Objective: To develop reference equations for the Glittre Activities of Daily Living test (Glittre ADL-test) on the basis of anthropometric and demographic variables in apparently healthy individuals. A secondary objective was to determine the reliability of the equations in a sample of COPD p...
ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the impact of adherence to long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) on quality of life, dyspnea, and exercise capacity in patients with COPD and exertional hypoxemia followed for one year. Methods: Patients experiencing severe hypoxemia during a six-minute walk test (6MWT) perfo...

A hipoxemia encontrada na Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC) deve-se a alterações de ventilação/perfusão, então oferecer uma fração inspiratória de oxigênio maior é a solução encontrada. Entretanto, embora aumente a sobrevida, o uso prolongado do oxigênio diminui a independência d...
Os imbricados processos patogênicos da asma e da doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC) têm mecanismos comuns que envolvem redes genéticas, subclasses de linfócitos, diversas citocinas e quimiocinas, gerando comportamento alterado de todas as células estruturais e funcionais do trato respirató...

There are increasingly more data on the prevalence and distribution of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) from around the world. COPD is predicted to be the third most frequent cause of death in the world by 2020. COPD is mainly caused by chronic tobacco smoking, which induces important changes...

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the validity of an eight-contact electrode bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) system within a household scale for assessing whole body composition in COPD patients. Methods: Seventeen patients with COPD (mean age = 67 ± 8 years; mean FEV1 = 38.6 ± 16.1% of predi...
ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the prevalence of spirometric abnormalities in patients screened for coronary artery disease (CAD) and the risk factors for lung function impairment. Methods: Patients referred for cardiac CT underwent spirometry and were subsequently divided into two groups, namely nor...
