Signs of Addison’s disease included hyperpigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes of the oral cavity, as well as low cortisol levels and an increase in adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH) concentration, detected in the blood serum antibodies to thyroperoxidase — a specific marker of autoimmune thyroid gland damage. A positive result of the test for autoantibodies to steroid-producing cells indicated functional ovarian insufficiency.","PeriodicalId":505345,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Medicine (Russian Journal)","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141273991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three groups of patients were examined: 1st — 30 patients with moderately severe COPD, average age 50.6 ± 4.3 years, 2nd — 30 smokers, average age 45.6 ± 2.4 years, 3rd (control group) — 30 practically healthy non-smokers, average age 45.6 ± 2.4 years. Capnometry showed a statistically significant increase in the slope of the alveolar phase in patients with COPD compared to the control group and smokers at rest, both before and after bronchodilator use. Significant differences between smokers and control groups were detected during forced exhalation. According to spirometry data, the FEV1/FVC ratio in patients with COPD was statistically significantly lower compared to the control group and smokers, both before and after bronchodilator use. Diffusion capacity was significantly lower in patients with COPD and smokers compared to the control group. The lung clearance index was significantly higher in the COPD group compared to the other two groups.Conclusions. All the mentioned methods were informative in patients with COPD, but capnometry and lung diffusion capacity assessment were sensitive methods in smokers, revealing uneven distribution of ventilation-perfusion ratios in the lungs and impaired gas exchange function.","PeriodicalId":505345,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Medicine (Russian Journal)","volume":"16 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141272830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quality of treatment is assessed visually with rhinoscopy, taking into account subjective patient sensations. However, there are still no objective criteria for assessing nasal airflow improvement, which complicates the evaluation of patient breathing after treatment. We used a novel CFD modeling method to create a virtual airflow model and determine flow parameters in the nasal cavity in normal and pathological conditions.Objective: to compare the aerodynamic characteristics of airflow in patients with NSD and healthy nasal cavities.Material and methods: the study used electronic files of computed tomography scans of the nasal sinuses of 60 patients with NSD and 21 healthy participants. Specific software (3D slicer, Ansys Fluent) was used to obtain airflow parameters; 3D models of the nasal cavity airflow were created, and CFD flow modeling was conducted.Results: in patients with NSD, flow velocity ranged from 5.17 to 15.63 m/s, in healthy individuals from 1.1 to 2.0 m/s; pressure force on the nasal walls ranged from 2.20 to 10.20 Pa in patients with NSD, in healthy individuals from 0.60 to 1.00 Pa; flow temperature ranged from 26.45 to 36.80 °C in patients with NSD, in healthy individuals from 20.14 to 24.40 °C; flow partial pressure ranged from –120.60 to –0.01 Pa in patients with NSD, in healthy individuals from 2.00 to –4.80 Pa, p < 0.0001. Conclusion: Aerodynamic characteristics of nasal cavity airflow in patients with nasal septum deviation significantly differ from those in healthy individuals. The application of CFD modeling of nasal airflow will assist clinicians in objectively assessing nasal breathing in NSD, as well as surgical treatment outcomes and quality assessment in otorhinolaryngological practice.","PeriodicalId":505345,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Medicine (Russian Journal)","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141273796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
