Abstract:
The article devoted to respiratory pathology (RP) in patients with UC and CD with clinical-radiological and functional (a function of external respiration--ERF) methods. The study included 220 patients with IBD (164--with UC and 56--with CD), aged 18-76 years (average age 40.6 years). ERF was studied by spirograph and recording flow-volume curve of forced expiration using pnevmotaograph "Eton-1" (Russia), 11 patients underwent HDCT at on multislice computer tomograph Toshiba Aquilion-16 (Japan). The study found that RP was most often detected by pulmonary function tests (44.1%), with a targeted detection of respiratory symptoms (32.9%), especially during HDCT. Much less marked physical (8.6%) and radiological (12.3%), signs of pulmonary disease, which indicates the low sensitivity of standard X-ray study of the CO. Airflow obstruction in the majority (78.3%) patients were represented mainly by obstruction of small bronchus, while in 51.6% of patients with impaired respiratory functions had no respiratory complaints, and 79.4% of patients had no radiographic signs of RP.

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
