The article presents results of assessing lung parenchyma density within X-ray diagnostic pattern “Opal glass” in patients with changes characteristic for occupational hypersensitivity pneumonitis(60 patients) and interstitial pneumonia (65 patients of reference group) vs. reference group (70 individuals), by modified method of X-ray computer tomography of high resolution. Quantitative characteristics as native parameter (HU units), density gradient (IDG), with consideration of homogeneity degree of the evaluated zone by SD value enabled considerable objectification of the changes direction in diagnostic monitoring of the studied lung disorders.
Evaluation of flutter therapy in the complex treatment of patients with professional COLD. Analysis revealed a significant regression of respiratory symptoms, bronchodilation response, an increase in chest excursion activate abdominal component of the act of breathing, improving the quality of life in patients receiving FT. The results confirmed the validity of the inclusion of FT in rehabilitation
Timely diagnosis and treatment of a well-known respiratory pathological state of an overlapping BA syndrome especially due to occupational background remains nowadays an actual clinical problem. In accordance with the reports of public health bodies is often registered among industrial workers in more than 20 occupational in such industries as metallurgy, chemical enterprises, construction, at transport, mechanical engineering, wood processing, animal husbandry, and so on. Along with the leading positions in mortality and occurrence, these pathologies show high levels of comorbidity which complicates differential diagnosis, expertise of work relatedness and treatment. These type of patients should be in a special group because they often show the development of acute processes. The patients often have low life standard. Their respiratory function is often oppressed, their mortality rates are high enough, they go to the doctor’s much more often than patients with other respiratory diseases (1,2,3). Due to these factors, it is necessary to find more informative, clinical and hygienic criteria to develop algorithm of diagnosis and expertise for this group of occupational patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
