Effect of Dupilumab on Sleep Apnea Severity in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis [PDF]
Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) report improved sleep quality after dupilumab, an anti IL4/13 therapy. Concurrent CRS and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) cases are not rare, and CRS seemingly raises nasal resistance.

Airway Resistance, Airway Conductance, Specific Airway Resistance, and Specific Airway Conductance in Children [PDF]
In 82 healthy children and in asthmatic children before and during positive allergen provocation test, airway resistance (Raw), airway conductance (Gaw), specific airway resistance (SRaw), and specific airway conductance (SGaw) were measured by body plethysmography during quiet breathing.

THE AIRWAY RESISTANCE IN NEWBORNS [PDF]
The airway resistance was measured in normal newborns and in low birth-weight newborns without or with a difficulty with respiration. Measurements were performed with aid of the additive method, separately during inspiration and expiration. In newborns without a difficulty with respiration relations of the airway resistance or the airway conductance to
