The Global initiative for chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) report states that the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) should be considered in individuals with chronic respiratory symptoms and / or exposure to risk factors. Forced spirometry demonstrating airflow obstruction after bronchodilation is required to confirm the diagnosis using a threshold of forced expiratory volume in 1?s (FEV1) / forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio<0.7. This GOLD Science Committee review weighs the evidence for using pre- or post-bronchodilator (BD) spirometry to diagnose COPD.

Penggunaan humidifier mampu menjaga kelempan udara. Meski demikian, Anda harus memperhatikan aturan penggunaan humidifier agar manfaatnya bagi kesehatan dapat diperoleh.

Adherence to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) continues to be low with high termination rates. Alternative therapies to CPAP are needed.

Cara menghilangkan lendir di tenggorokan dan paru-paru bisa Anda lakukan sendiri di rumah, mulai dari minum air hangat hingga menggunakan minyak esensial. Selain mampu menghilangkan lendir, cara-cara ini juga sekaligus melegakan dan menenangkan saluran pernapasan.

Airflow limitation is the hallmark of obstructive pulmonary diseases, with the distal airways representing a major site of obstruction. Although numerous in vitro models of bronchi already exist, there is currently no culture system for obstructive diseases that reproduces the architecture and function of small airways. Here, we aimed to engineer a model of distal airways to overcome the limitations of current culture systems.

Pemeriksaan Spirometri merupakan pemeriksaan standar yang dilakukan oleh ahli medis atau dokter untuk mendiagnosis dan memantau fungsi paru-paru seseorang. Tes ini bekerja dengan mengukur aliran udara masuk dan keluar dari paru-paru seseorang.

Emphysema, the progressive destruction of gas exchange surfaces in the lungs, is a hallmark of COPD that is presently incurable. This therapeutic gap is largely due to a poor understanding of potential drivers of impaired tissue regeneration, such as abnormal lung epithelial progenitor cells, including alveolar type II (ATII) and airway club cells.

“Paparan polusi sehari-hari dari asap rokok, asap kendaraan, dan polutan di lingkungan sekitar bisa menurunkan kesehatan paru-paru. Ketahui cara bersihkan paru-paru untuk dilakukan secara rutin.”

Macrolide maintenance therapy (MMT) has demonstrated notable efficacy in reducing exacerbation in patients with bronchiectasis, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events. However, a comprehensive assessment of the cardiovascular benefits and safety profile of MMT in this population is lacking.

Anatomi paru-paru tersusun atas berbagai bagian yang saling berhubungan untuk mendukung kerja sistem pernapasan. Oleh karena itu, kesehatannya perlu selalu dijaga agar tetap berfungsi dengan baik dan terhindar dari kerusakan atau gangguan pernapasan.
