Optimal efficiency of high frequency chest wall oscillations and links with resistance and compliance in a model of the lung [PDF]
, 2021 Chest physiotherapy is a set of techniques used to help the draining of the mucus from the lung in pathological situations. The choice of the techniques, and their adjustment to the patients or to the pathologies, remains as of today largely empirical.

Effects of Inhaled Brevetoxins in Allergic Airways: Toxin–Allergen Interactions and Pharmacologic Intervention [PDF]
, 2005 During a Florida red tide, brevetoxins produced by the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis become aerosolized and cause airway symptoms in humans, especially in those with pre-existing airway disease (e.g., asthma).

Impulse oscillometry may be of value in detecting early effects of obesity on airway resistance
Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2019 Background and objective Obesity as a major nutritional problem is badly associated with respiratory compliance. The effortless technique such as impulse oscillometry system (IOS) could have a supremacy value over the commonly used pulmonary function ...

Plethysmographic Loops: A Window on the Lung Pathophysiology of COPD Patients
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Plethysmographic alveolar pressure-flow (Palv–F) loops contain potentially relevant information about the pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but no quantitative analysis of these loops during spontaneous breathing has ever ...

Modelling nasal high flow therapy effects on upper airway resistance and resistive work of breathing [PDF]
, 2018 Aim The goal of this paper is to quantify upper airway resistance with and without nasal high flow (NHF) therapy. For adults, NHF therapy feeds 30–60 L/min of warm humidified air into the nose through short cannulas which do not seal the nostril.

Generative-based Airway and Vessel Morphology Quantification on Chest CT Images [PDF]
, 2020 Accurately and precisely characterizing the morphology of small pulmonary structures from Computed Tomography (CT) images, such as airways and vessels, is becoming of great importance for diagnosis of pulmonary diseases. The smaller conducting airways are the major site of increased airflow resistance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD ...
