Proinflammatory cytokines (IL-17, IL-6, IL-18 and IL-12) and Th cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13) in patients with allergic asthma
TL;DR: It is proposed that allergic asthma is characterized by an elevation of both proinflammatory and Th2 cytokines, and the significantly lower ratio of Th1/Th2 cells confirms a predominance of Th2 cells response in allergic asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) on pulmonary function, functional capacity and quality of life in a cohort of survivors
David S.C. Hui,Gavin M. Joynt,K. T. Wong,Charles D. Gomersall,Thomas S.T. Li,Gregory E. Antonio,Fanny W.S. Ko,Michael C. Chan,David P. N. Chan,M W Tong,Timothy H. Rainer,Anil T. Ahuja,Clive S. Cockram,Joseph J.Y. Sung +13 more
TL;DR: The exercise capacity and health status of SARS survivors was considerably lower than that of a normal population at 6 months and the functional disability appears out of proportion to the degree of lung function impairment and may be related to additional factors such as muscle deconditioning and steroid myopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The long-term impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome on pulmonary function, exercise capacity and health status.
TL;DR: This study examined the long‐term outcome of pulmonary function, exercise capacity, health and work status among SARS survivors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 1-Year Impact of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome on Pulmonary Function, Exercise Capacity, and Quality of Life in a Cohort of Survivors
TL;DR: Exercise capacity and health status of SARS survivors were remarkably lower than those of a normal population, and there was impairment of HRQoL at 12 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exhaled air dispersion during high-flow nasal cannula therapy versus CPAP via different masks.
David S.C. Hui,Benny K. Chow,Thomas Lo,Owen Tak-Yin Tsang,Fanny W.S. Ko,Susanna S.S. Ng,Tony Gin,Matthew T. V. Chan +7 more
TL;DR: Exhaled air dispersion from high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and CPAP is limited provided there is good mask interface fitting, however, exhaled air leakage to 620 mm laterally occurs when the connection between HFNC and the interface tube becomes loose.
