Test de la sacarina en el estudio del aclaramiento mucociliar. Valores de referencia en una población española

Objetivo El transporte mucociliar es un importante mecanismo de defensa de las vias respiratorias. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido obtener los valores de referencia del tiempo de transporte mucociliar nasal (TTMCN) mediante el test de la sacarina. Sujetos y metodos Se ha realizado un estudio observacional, transversal y descriptivo. Las variables estudiadas fueron el TTMCN, la edad y el sexo. Se incluyo a 249 sujetos (134 varones y 115 mujeres) mayores de 10 anos, sanos y no fumadores, que se asignaron a grupos segun su edad.

[Saccharin test for the study of mucociliary clearance: reference values for a Spanish population].

Objective Mucociliary transport is an important defense mechanism for the airways. The aim of this study was to establish reference values for nasal mucociliary clearance time (MCT) by means of the saccharin test. Subjects and Methods A cross-sectional, descriptive, observational study was performed. The variables studied were nasal MCT, age, and sex. We included 249 healthy nonsmokers (134 male and 115 female subjects) aged over 10 years and stratified the sample by age. To establish reference values, percentiles were calculated and lower and upper limits of normal were established at the 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles, respectively. The association between nasal MCT and the main study variables…

Smoking in hospitalized patients. A great opportunity

The objective of this study is to describe the characteristics of smokers admitted to different medical and surgical services in a university hospital and the perception of patients regarding the need for a specialized intervention. The sample comprises a total of 307 patients (mean age of 59.4 years), being 40% (n = 123) non-smokers, 42.7% (n = 131) ex-smokers, and 17.3% (n = 53) smokers. The average consumption of smokers was 22.2 cigarettes / day and the severity of nicotine dependence evaluated with the Fagerstrom test exceeded 5 points in more than half of the sample. On the other hand, 77.7% had made at least one previous attempt to quit tobacco use. Almost the entire sample (89.9 %) …
