THE EFFECT OF PROPRANOLOL ON AIRWAY RESISTANCE
British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1967 The effect of propranolol on the airway resistance (AWR) of eighteen normal and seven asthmatic subjects has been studied by whole body plethysmography. In normal subjects there was a significant mean rise in AWR which was never accompanied by any respiratory upset.

Defining of the Relationship Between Lung Volumes, Airway Resistance and the Apnea-Hypopnea Index
Türk Uyku Tıbbı Dergisi, 2018 Objective: Obstructive Sleep Apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by recurrent complete or partial narrowing of the upper respiratory tract during sleep and frequently a decrease in blood oxygen saturation. Upper respiratory tract gap is determined by

The effect of adenoidectomy on transnasal airflow in children with hypertrophy of adenoid tissue
African Journal of Paediatric Surgery, 2018 Background: The aim of this study was to clarify changes of transnasal airflow resulting from adenoidectomy and to assess the effect of surgery depending on adenoid hypertrophy (AH) obstruction grade.

Lung maneuvers of large amplitudes for probing physiological alterations in mouse models of asthma
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Lung maneuvers of small amplitudes, such as the ones performed in oscillometry, are the current gold standard to probe lung mechanics in animals, but they are insensitive to detect baseline physiological alterations in mouse models of asthma. Herein, lung maneuvers of different amplitudes were compared in two mouse models of asthma.

A Calibration Device to Compare Body Plethysmographs Among Pediatric Lung Function Laboratories
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Multi-center studies in specific airway resistance have shown significant inter laboratory variability. Comparison of plethysmographic equipment using a lung model easily transportable from one site to another should be of help to international normative

Equine models in translational medicine: A comparative approach to human health
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.This diagram summarizes and contrasts rodent and equine models, outlining their strengths, limitations, and applications. Horses offer naturally occurring diseases, genetic and physiological similarities to humans, and suitability for longitudinal and clinical‐scale studies.

Thermal Stimulation of the Oral Mucosa and Nasal Airway Resistance
, 1977 A procedure for measuring nasal airway resistance using posterior rhinorheotnetry is descrihed. Baseline nasal airway resistances ± 1 S.D. at an airflow of 0.5 L/sec were found to be 1.077 ± 0.683 cm H2O for inhalation and 1.359 ± 0.792 cm H 2O for ...
