“…The dynamic factors of pulmonary function depend on different variables such as age, physical activity level, environments pollutants, body composition and prolong disease of the lunges (Prajapati 2008, Game 2006, Wetter 2001, Faintuch 2004, Gökoğlu 2007).…”

Relationship Between Airway Resistance indices and Maximal Oxygen Uptake in Young Adults The present study aims at assessing the relationship between airway resistance indexes (FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC) and maximal oxygen uptake (Vo2max) in young adults. Subjects of the study included 50 healthy males (age, 22.1 ± 2.47 years; FEV1, 3.41 ± .66 liter; FVC, 3.96 ± .56 liter; VO2max, 38.83 ± 9.83 ml.kg-1.min-1) studying at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. After determining subjects' volumes of FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC by digital spirometer, maximal oxygen uptake was measured. The study protocol measured VO2max levels using the sub-maximal Astrand-Ryming test on the ergometer cycle. The data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed a significant correlation among the three independent variables of FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC and projected VO2max values. Based on the results, it can be concluded that these parameters have a close interaction with higher VO2max levels, and therefore, having a lower airway resistance seems beneficial.

“…It is contended that, like metabolic requirements, mechanical limitations of ventilatory muscles are reached only in highly fit athletes [9], and during intensive training, athletes encounter a decline in PaO2 due to decreased transit time of red blood cells through the pulmonary arterials (Gökoğlu 2007, Martin et al 1979).…”

“…Inflammation occurs in vascular structures, especially affecting the vascular wall, and related thrombophlebitis and arterial occlusions can be seen 16,17 . In addition, small airway inflammation, fibrosis, and obstructions are the changes seen in the pathophysiological process of Behçet's disease 18,19 . These changes are pathophysiological processes that can cause parenchymal volume loss.…”

“…16,17 In addition, small airway inflammation, fibrosis, and obstructions are the changes seen in the pathophysiological process of Behçet's disease. 18,19 These changes are pathophysiological processes that can cause parenchymal volume loss. These data prove to us that changes related to vascular involvement in the lung and interstitial involvement that may develop secondary to this process begin at an early stage.…”

Objectives We aimed to quantitatively analyze lung parenchymal changes in Behçet's patients and to detect early parenchymal quantitative changes that occur in the absence of positive visual radiological findings. Methods In our study, a total of 31 patients with Behçet's disease, 17 with positive radiological findings and 14 patients without positive radiological findings, and a control group of 33 individuals were evaluated. The automatic program determined lung volumes, lung densities, and opacity volume percentages by evaluating the contrast‐enhanced lung computed tomography scans. Results The total lung volume was 3632.98 ± 1100.53 mL in the Behçet's disease patient group and 4925.70 ± 1098.88 mL in the control group, and there was a significant decrease in the total lung volume in Behçet's disease patients (P < 0.0001). The mean lung density was −723.73 ± 65.16 in the Behçet's disease patient group and −767.35 ± 41.17 in the control group, and there was a significant increase in the mean density in the Behçet's patients (P = 0.0023). A significantly higher correlation was observed between lung density and lung volume in Behçet's patients (P < 0.0001, r = −0.795). The lung volume of Behçet's disease patients with negative radiological findings was significantly lower than that of the control group (P = 0.0342). Conclusions Lung volumetric changes in Behçet's disease patients are the quantitative data most affected by the disease. In addition, lung volume decreases in Behçet's patients who do not have visual parenchymal involvement.

“…35 Gökoglu et al showed that aerobic and respiratory exercises increased the respiratory muscle strength and endurance, aerobic capacity and maximal ventilator capacity in Behçet's patients. 36 In patients with Behçet's disease, CVS involvement is rare, but may occur in different characteristics and may be mortal. Silent myocardial ischemia is also common in these patients and patients who have been diagnosed for more than 10 years are recommended myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.…”

ABS TRACT Objective: Sedentary lifestyle is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVS) and thrombotic complications. The effect of different types of exercise on platelet function has been the subject of a limited number of studies. Behçet's disease is a multisystemic disease characterized by recurrent oral and genital aphthous lesions and uveitis with unknown etiology. There is an unknown cause of the disease and hyperactivation of the procoagulant cascade and associated mortality due to arterial and venous thrombosis. Here, the effect of aerobic exercise on the bleeding profile and acute phase reactants in Behçet's patients was analyzed experimentally. Material and Methods: Twenty-four (n=24) patients with Behcet's disease were included in the study. Age, height, weight, sex, smoking, known systemic disease (such as diabetes, hypertension, thyroid) and vascular claudication were investigated. Those who didn't complete the protocole (n=5) were excluded from the study. Before and after moderate intensity aerobic exercise program (4 weeks, 3 times a week, 45 minutes per day) sedimentation (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), bleeding profile including prothrombin time (PT), prothrombin time percentage (PT%), activated prothrombin time (aPTT), platelet, collagen epinephrine, collagen adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and international normalized ratio (INR) were recorded. Results: Nineteen patients with Behçet's disease were enrolled. The mean age was 37.8±9.8 years. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 28.6±5.5 kg/m 2. Vascular claudication was present in 9 patients (47.4%), smoking in 1 patient (5.3%), and hypertension (10.5%) in 2 patients. While ESR (p=0.028) and collagen ADP (p=0.02) decreased after exercise; platelet count (p=0.005), aPTT (p=0.08), PT (p=0.022) and PT% (p=0.014) were increased. Conclusion: Increase in the duration of aggregation and decrease in inflammation after the exercise program supports that thrombosis can be prevented by exercise. We conclude that short term home-based aerobic exercise program has positive effect on homeostasis in patients with Behçet's disease.
