Archivos de Bronconeumología

ISSN: 0300-2896

Archivos de Bronconeumologia is a scientific journal that preferentially publishes prospective original research articles whose content is based upon results dealing with several aspects of respiratory diseases such as epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinics, surgery, and basic investigation. Other types of articles such as reviews, editorials, a few special articles of interest to the society and the editorial board, scientific letters, letters to the Editor, and clinical images are also published in the Journal. It is a monthly Journal that publishes a total of 12 issues and a few supplements, which contain articles belonging to the different sections.

All the manuscripts received in the Journal are evaluated by the Editors and sent to expert peer-review while handled by the Editor and/or an Associate Editor from the team. The Journal is published monthly in English.

Manuscripts will be submitted electronically using the following web site: https://www.editorialmanager.com/ARBR/, link which is also accessible through the main web page of Archivos de Bronconeumologia.

Access to any published article, is possible through the Journal's web page as well as from PubMed, Science Direct, and other international databases. Furthermore, the Journal is also present in Twitter and Facebook. The Journal expresses the voice of the Spanish Respiratory Society of Pulmonology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR) as well as that of other scientific societies such as the Latin American Thoracic Society (ALAT) and the Iberian American Association of Thoracic Surgery (AICT).

Authors are also welcome to submit their articles to the Journal's open access companion title, Open Respiratory Archives.

Archivos de Bronconeumologia has received the new Impact Factor (JCR). The impact factor has risen from 6.333 in 2021 to 8 in the last evaluated year, 2022.
It is needed to be a member of SEPAR or have a subscription to access full texts of articles published last year. Abstracts are available for all visitors.

Statistics

Los valores de presión esofágica (Pes), gástrica (Pga) y transdiafragmática (Pdi) se pueden obtener por varios métodos. El de referencia es calcular su valor medio por planimetría de la curva. Como alternativas se han propuesto el valor medio obtenido por cuadratura y el valor máximo (“pico”). Las tres técnicas se comparan en 12 pacientes con EPOC. La cuadratura mostró Pes similares a la planimetría (-11,2 ± 1,0 vs -11,6 ± 1,1 cmH2O, NS), aunque las Pga fueron algo inferiores (3,8 ± 0,5 frente a 4,2 ± 0,5 cmH2O, p < 0,05). Sólo en 3 curvas de Pga pudo efectuarse la cuadratura; en el resto se calculó el área geométricamente. La diferencia en las Pga se expresó en las Pdi (15,0 ± 1,2 cmH2O frente a 15,8 ± 1,2; p < 0,05), pero desapareció para Pdi/Pdimax y TTdi. Las P pico (Pes -15,2 ± 1,1, Pga 8,2 ± 1,0 y Pdi 23,4 ± 1,7 cmH2O) fueron muy superiores a las P medias. La transformación cuadrática constituye una buena alternativa para la determinación de la Pes en pacientes con EPOC, aunque es menos útil para la Pga. Las P pico no debieran utilizarse.

The values of esophageal (Pes), gastric (Pga) and transdiaphragmatic (Pdi) pressure may be obtained by several methods. That of reference is to calculate their mean values by curve planimetry. The mean value obtained by squaring and the maximum value (peak) have been proposed as alternatives. The three techniques were compared in 12 patients with COPD. Squaring demostrated similar Pes to that of planimetry (-11.2 ± 1.0 vs -11.6 ± 1.1 cmH2O, NS) although the Pga were somewhat lower (3.8 ± 0.5 vs 4.2 ± 0.5 cmH2O, p < 0.05). Squaring could only be performed in 3 Pga curves, in the remaining the area was calculated geometrically. The difference in the Pga was expressed in the Pdi (15.0 ± 1.2 cmH2 vs 15.8 ± 1,2; p < 0.05) but disappeared for Pdi/Pdimax and TTdi. The P peak (Pes -15.2 ± 1.1, Pga 8.2 ± 1.0 and Pdi 23.4 ±1.7 cmH2O) were much higher than the mean pressures. Square transformation constitutes a good alternative for the determination of Pes in patients with COPD although it is less useful for the Pga. The P peak should not be used.
