This can impair respiratory function as measured by spirometry, i.e. less reversibility after inhalation of a beta2-agonist (7 9).
The short-term effects of ash exposure were associated with irritation in eyes and upper airway and exacerbation of pre-existing asthma but did not contribute to serious health problems or impair respiratory function as compared to controls.
The exposure did not impair respiratory function compared to controls.
Carbon monoxide, a toxic product of incomplete combustion, can also impair respiratory function.
Thus, despite its methodological limitations TB measurements can give valuable information about impaired respiratory function which should be investigated more in detail by further methods.
Among IAH/ACS patients, impaired respiratory function and the need for mechanical ventilation are well-known complications [3, 4, 17].
In many cases in yeast, small colonies reflect impaired respiratory function, so we examined the respiratory competency of the cells under starvation conditions using 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC), which stains respiratory competent colonies red [14].
These results suggest that autophagy is required to prevent excessive ROS accumulation during starvation, and ROS accumulation impairs respiratory function in autophagy-defective mutants.
Statistical analysis of breathing function measurements shows that DMSXL mice have impaired respiratory function.
The latter patients on re-examination at 43 y retained their asthma and impaired respiratory function.
Malnutrition, dysphagia, gastro-oesophageal reflux, impaired respiratory function and constipation are hypothesized risk factors.
