  • Title: [Psychosomatic correlations in patients with chronic nonspecific lung diseases associated with the obstructive syndrome].
    Author: Arutiunov TG, Ovcharenko SI, Stepin IV, Kulikova EM.
    Journal: Klin Med (Mosk); 1991 Jul; 69(7):96-8. PubMed ID: 1942994.
    Abstract:
    Correlations were investigated between psychic characteristics, bronchoscopic and external respiration findings in 44 chronic sufferers with nonspecific pulmonary diseases (29 with bronchial asthma, 15 with obstructive bronchitis). Bronchial permeability was assessed by bronchial constriction at breathing out. This parameter was found to vary significantly among patient groups different by anxiety status which seemed to relate to endobronchitis activity. Development of ++broncho-obstructive syndrome is thought to be due to both somatic and psychic factors.
