Association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and vitamin D levels with asthma and atopy in Cypriot adolescents: a case–control studyMattioli1885 - Tập 10 - Trang 1-9 - 2015

Polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene have been studied in
immune-related disorders either as independent contributors or in combination
with vitamin D concentration. Vitamin D and VDR have been independently linked
to asthma susceptibility. We investigated whether VDR variants were associated
independently or in relation to vitamin D levels with asthma in Cypriot
adolescents. We stud... hiện toàn bộ
Most Italians attending a congress on health of elderly people do not know and do not recognize respiratory diseasesMattioli1885 - Tập 11 - Trang 1-7 - 2016

The present study reports the results of a survey jointly carried out by three
Italian respiratory scientific associations (AIMAR, AIPO, SIMeR) together with
an important Federation of elderly patients (FederAnziani) during the National
Conference of Italian Court for Health Right held in Rimini from November 29th
to December 1st, 2013. The survey, based on a spirometric examination preceded

Lung disease recalling paraseptal emphysema in a patient with Goltz syndromeMattioli1885 - Tập 11 - Trang 1-3 - 2016

Goltz syndrome is a rare, genetic disorder mainly occurring in female patients.
The case presented here is, to the best of our knowledge, the first description
of the occurrence of lung parenchymal alterations in a young female patient
affected by Goltz syndrome. Although pulmonary involvement is not known in
patients affected by X-linked Goltz syndrome, the case here described is related
to the e... hiện toàn bộ
Ultrasound evaluation of diaphragmatic mobility in patients with idiopathic lung fibrosis: a pilot studyMattioli1885 - Tập 14 - Trang 1-6 - 2018
Andrea Boccatonda, Valentina Decorato, Giulio Cocco, Stefano Marinari, Cosima Schiavone
Some previous works have tested LUS use in diagnosing and monitoring
interstitial lung diseases. B-lines are main sonographic signs for interstitial
diseases. Increasing evidences suggest that dyspnea and impaired exercise
capacity in IPF patients can be related, at least in part, to respiratory muscle
dysfunction, in particular to diaphragm functionality. Both B-mode and M-mode

Ventilator associated pneumonia or ventilator induced pneumoniaMattioli1885 - Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 1-3 - 2017
Khan, Zahid Hussain, Ceriana, Piero, Donner, Claudio F.
Ventilator associated pneumonia currently in vogue seems to have some pitfalls
as far as the nomenclature is concerned and thus it imparts an erroneous
impression to the reader. As the driving force is in fact the ventilator, the
phraseology should preferably be changed to ventilator induced pneumonia to
convey the in depth meaning of the term thus evading the terminology currently
in practice. A ... hiện toàn bộ
The safety of beta-blocker use in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with respiratory failure in the intensive care unitMattioli1885 - Tập 9 - Trang 1-9 - 2014

The safety of beta-blockers as a heart rate-limiting drug (HRLD) in patients
with acute respiratory failure (ARF) due to chronic obstructive lung disease
(COPD) has not been properly assessed in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting.
This study aims to compare the use of beta-blocker drugs relative to
non-beta-blocker ones in COPD patients with ARF due to heart rate-limiting with
respect to length... hiện toàn bộ
Non invasive ventilation as an additional tool for exercise trainingMattioli1885 - Tập 10 - Trang 1-6 - 2015
Nicolino Ambrosino, Paolo Cigni
Recently, there has been increasing interest in the use of non invasive
ventilation (NIV) to increase exercise capacity. In individuals with COPD, NIV
during exercise reduces dyspnoea and increases exercise tolerance. Different
modalities of mechanical ventilation have been used non-invasively as a tool to
increase exercise tolerance in COPD, heart failure and lung and thoracic
restrictive disease... hiện toàn bộ
