Airway Resistance, Airway Conductance, Specific Airway Resistance, and Specific Airway Conductance in Children [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1983 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.

Blockade of thymic stromal lymphopoietin and CRTH2 attenuates airway inflammation in a murine model of allergic asthma [PDF]
The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine, 2020 Background/Aims Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial cell-derived cytokine that plays a key role in Th2-mediated inflammation, both directly by promoting the proliferation of naïve CD4 Th2 cells, and indirectly by activating dendritic ...

Comparison of Forced Oscillometric Technique and Spirometry in Stable Asthmatic Patients in Central India: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023 Introduction: Asthma is an airway disease, the diagnosis of this disease still continues to be a clinical based. Although, there are several tests that can be useful for asthma, but no one can be considered as a standard test and search for better ...

Correlation Analysis between Airway Volume and Risk of Sleep Apnea/Periodontitis
eJournal of Oral Maxillofacial Research, 2022 Objectives: Sleep apnea and periodontitis have high incidences in general population. They share common risk factors such as obesity, smoking, and aging. As cone-beam computed tomography becomes popular in dentistry, airway analysis is very accessible to

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 ...
