Research initially consisted of three family members, two female
and one man who survived the FSP, although they had never smoked
(
). One of the patients had at least 20 episodes of FSP
on the left side and 8 on the right side. Another woman patient FSP
had four episodes of FSP on the left side. Female patients
FSP was operated by frequent relapses FSP. None
FSP patients had menstrual SP. The patient had FSP
an episode of FSP on the right side that was treated
Btsјlau drainage (ie print
, under water). Eleven family members not affected, five and six smokers who had never smoked
, also included in the study. FSP patients most
their relatives complained of cough liquid, but were free
malignant, inflammatory and cardiovascular disease. Echocardiography was performed after 10 weeks of the study in one of the
affected relatives who had never smoked. Regurgitation
valvy tricuspidalis observed in the systolic flow (measured by doppler echocardiography
) 2. 5 m / s. This implies
about 30 mm Hg systolic in the pulmonary artery. Four family members who were not affected by FSP
unable to participate in the study. One man had cerebral palsy,
, and three women lived too far away to attend the examination. The control group consisted of 10 healthy subjects who
described earlier, and four
smokers (three women and one man) who had respiratory symptoms of COPD. >> << Last four subjects was included in order to meet smokers
affected relatives. All patients, their relatives and the control group were
chest radiographs and CT of the lungs. In three patients FSP,
CT performed at least 3 years after the last episode of FSP. Radiographs were demands for further CT. CT of the lungs were carried out with a buy lasix screw device (GE high speed
spiral CT, General Electric, Paris, France) with the subject in
prone position on the back. This issue is assigned to your breathing
