Smoking is the main risk factor for the development of lung cancer and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). Lungs of smokers and COPD patients are frequently colonized with bacterial pathogens. The epithelial cytokine IL-17C mediates the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Therefore, we characterized the function of IL-17C in a preclinical mouse model of tumor growth.

The diagnosis of COPD is based on spirometry1. A CXR can be reported as suggestive of COPD but is not diagnostic. This could inadvertently cause confusion or worry. We examined the frequency of COPD on CXR reports and whether this correlates with a spirometric diagnosis of COPD and the severity of COPD.

Specific inhalation challenge (SIC) is the reference standard for the diagnosis of occupational asthma, however the significance of a positive test is doubtful unless work exposure causes measurable changes in lung function. We have used Oasys analysis of serial PEF at home and work (with a specificity of >90%) to identify occupational asthma, and have used these to validate the specificity of SIC testing with non-standard agents.

Recent studies showed that the sensitivity of ultrasound for diagnosing pneumonia is at least comparable to chest x-ray. However, little is known about the ultrasound characteristics of different types of pneumonia. Therefore the aim of our study was to evaluate and compare the ultrasound characteristics of lung infiltrates in different types of pneumonia in children.

Siapa yang tak tahu dampak negatif rokok bagi kesehatan? Ya, kebiasaan merokok adalah penyebab utama tingginya kasus kanker paru di Indonesia. Sebelum berubah menjadi kanker, biasanya rokok akan merusak fungsi paru secara perlahan. Kerusakan paru paling awal yang dapat dialami para perokok aktif adalah penyakit paru obstruktif kronis (PPOK). Lalu, bagaimana rokok bisa menyebabkan kerusakan paru ini?
Senin, 10 Desember 2018 08:30:16Prognosis of Allergic and Non-Allergic Asthma

Some studies indicate that atopy is less important as a predictor of severe asthma. But, remission is more uncommon in allergic asthma than in non-allergic asthma. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognosis of asthma and risk factors for asthma onset, especially sensitization of specific allergens. A cohort of three age groups responded to a respiratory questionnaire in 1990 and 2003.
