On the Advantages of Specific Airway Resistance [PDF]
The specific airway resistance (SRaw) is a relatively precise parameter of bronchial quality and in normal children its relation with body length, although very significant (P less than 0.001), is so poor that it can safely be disregarded (Fig. 4). Also the dispersion around the mean value remains stable at any body size (Fig. 4).

Nonlinearity of intratidal airway resistance [PDF]
Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a disease associated with high mortality. Understanding the interdependence of ventilator settings and respiratory mechanics is crucial for further developments of protective lung ventilation. Up to now, the nonlinearity of compliance has mainly been the focus of interest.

Airways resistance and specific conductance for the diagnosis of obstructive airways diseases [PDF]
Airway resistance (RAW) and specific airway conductance (sGAW) are measures that reflect the patency of airways. Little is known of the variability of these measures between different lung diseases. This study investigated the contribution of RAW and sGAW to a diagnosis of obstructive airways disease and their role in differentiating asthma from COPD ...

Background: Findings from previous studies on the effects of air pollution exposure on lung function during childhood have been inconsistent. A common limitation has been the quality of exposure data used, and few studies have modeled exposure ...

Airway resistance at maximum inhalation as a marker of asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness [PDF]
Abstract Background Asthmatics exhibit reduced airway dilation at maximal inspiration, likely due to structural differences in airway walls and/or functional differences in airway smooth muscle, factors that may also increase airway responsiveness to bronchoconstricting stimuli.

THE EFFECT OF PROPRANOLOL ON AIRWAY RESISTANCE
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.

BACKGROUND Menthol (l-menthol) is a naturally-occurring cold receptor agonist commonly used to provide symptomatic relief for upper airway congestion. Menthol can also reduce the sensation of dyspnea.

A cause of excessive daytime sleepiness. The upper airway resistance syndrome.
Subjects with isolated complaints of chronic daytime sleepiness are usually classified as "idiopathic hypersomniacs" and treated symptomatically. A group of these subjects was investigated during nocturnal sleep and daytime naps.
