Introduction: - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common, preventable and treatable disease which is a leading cause of
mortality and morbidity worldwide. Smoking and biomass fuel exposure plays a major role in copd by oxidative stress which leads to decrease in
predicted FEV1% and FEV1/FVC ratio. Comparison in decline in lung function between smokers, ex-smokers and non-smokers.Objective:-
Material And Methods: - This was a hospital-based case control study conducted at Institute of Respiratory Diseases SMS Medical College
Jaipur, Rajasthan India. Total 50 healthy controls and 50 Smokers and Ex-Smokers Diagnosed cases of COPD enrolled in study during2020-2021.
Results: - FEV1% in cases was 55.86 ± 15.9 and in controls was 89.2 ± 6.65. FEV1/FVC in cases was 56.62 ± 10.15 and in controls was 76.98 ±
3.61. Predicted FEV 1% and FEV1/FVC ratio was low in cases as compare to controls and the levels were also low in Smokers asConclusion: -
compare to Ex-Smokers.
Malignancies of the Lung are a major source of morbidity and mortality in person with HIV infection. In the
Pre ART ERA, AIDS-Dening-Cancers (ADC) were prominent. NADCs are mostly comprised of NON-
SMALL-Cell Lung Cancer followed by Small-Cell-Carcinoma. Within HIV population incidence of lung-cancer estimated
approximately 2-4 times that of general population. Multiple pulmonary nodules or Cannon Ball opacities in LUNG particularly
originates from malignant, non-malignant, infective etiology and connective tissue disorders also may cause it.
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.
