bronchial challenge test :: Article Creator The Role Of The Bronchial Provocation Challenge Tests In The Diagnosis Of Exercise-induced Bronchoconstriction In Elite Swimmers Background The International Olympic Committee–Medical Commission (IOC-MC) accepts a number of bronchial provocation tests for the diagnosis of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in elite athletes, none of which have been studied in elite swimmers. With the suggestion of a different pathogenesis involved in the development of EIB in swimmers, there is a possibility that the recommended test for EIB in elite athletes, the eucapnic voluntary hyperpnoea (EVH) challenge, may be missing the diagnosis in elite swimmers. Objective The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the EVH challenge, the field swim challenge and the laboratory cycle challenge in the diagnosis of EIB in elite swimmers. Design 33 elite swimmers were evaluated on separate days ...

ronchi lungs :: Article Creator Signs And Symptoms Of Popcorn Lung Bronchiolitis obliterans, commonly known as "popcorn lung," is a rare lung disease that happens when the smallest airways in your lungs (called bronchioles) become irreversibly inflamed and scarred. Damage to the bronchioles disrupts normal airflow in and out of your lungs, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, a dry cough, and wheezing. These symptoms often get worse with exercise or physical activities.  Symptoms of popcorn lung develop gradually over weeks or months as the airways narrow and reduce oxygen supply to the lungs. Over time, inflammation and scarring of the bronchioles can worsen, making breathing increasingly difficult and affecting your day-to-day life. Early diagnosis and treatment of popcorn lung can help slow the progression of the disease and may ease the severity of your symptoms. A chronic, persistent dry cough is one of the most c...

normal ejection fraction by age :: Article Creator Ejection Fraction: How Is It Measured? Ejection fraction (EF) measures the amount of blood pumped out of your heart's lower chambers, or ventricles. It's the percentage of blood that leaves your ventricle when your heart contracts. The term usually refers to just the left ventricle. Measuring your ejection fraction can help doctors figure out whether you have certain heart problems, especially one type of heart failure. Despite the scary-sounding name, heart failure doesn't mean your heart stops; it just means it can't pump as much blood as your body needs. Your ejection fraction will also help the doctor decide which treatments are best for you and whether your treatment is working. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) Your left ventricle pumps blood that's been enriched with oxygen through your aorta to the rest of your body. The LVEF can show the extent of damage ...

describe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease :: Article Creator Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program Effective For Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease A recent research paper on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) said that pulmonary rehabilitation programs are often useful for patients of this disease to have improved daily functions and activities. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are lung diseases involving restricted airflow and conditions like lung tissue destruction, airway inflammation, air sac enlargement etc. Some common forms of COPD are emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs involve exercise training to improve functional capacity of the lungs, taking into consideration the cardiovascular, pulmonary and skeletal muscle limitations. Goals of these programs are to reduce the symptoms of the diseases, increase the physical abilities of the patients and restore the highest level of indepe...
