Serum RDW Level of COPD Patients and the Characteristics of the Exacerbation

DOI: 
10.7727.wimj/2016.367
Synopsis: 
Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of hemogram. Nearly one third of COPD patients have increased RDW levels and exitus rates are higher in this group. It is suggested that elevated RDW might be related with increased mortality in COPD patients.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of red blood cell size heterogeneity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the RDW level and characteristics of the COPD exacerbations.

The Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Basal Metabolism Rate in Patients with Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome

Issue: 
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.489
Pages: 
9-14
Synopsis: 
Basal metabolism rate is defined as the energy consumption required for maintaining body functions and metabolic activities. Previous studies have shown significantly higher energy consumption in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) compared to healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of short-term continuous positive airway pressure treatment on the basal metabolism rate in patients with severe OSAS.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the effect of the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment on basal metabolism rate (BMR) in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS).

Malignancy and Pulmonary Thromboembolism: Comparison of Symptomatic Cases with the Incidental Ones

Issue: 
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.227
Pages: 
488-93
Synopsis: 
The widespread use of computed tomography in oncology patients undergoing routine cancer staging scans resulted in increased incidental pulmonary embolism. The aim of this study was to compare the symptomatic and incidental pulmonary emboli cases in the oncologic patients sampled for this study.

 

ABSTRACT

Objective: The use of advanced techniques of computed tomography (CT) has resulted in increased incidentally detected pulmonary embolism in oncology patients undergoing routine cancer staging CT scans. The aim of this study was to compare the symptomatic and incidental pulmonary emboli cases in oncologic patients.
