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 ...

Physical Properties of Helium and Application in Respiratory Care
Encyclopedia, 2023 Helium is a low-density, inert, monoatomic gas that is widely used in medical applications. In respiratory care, Helium is mainly used as an adjunct therapy for patients with severe upper airway obstruction and asthma.

Dynamics of airflow in a short inhalation [PDF]
, 2015 During a rapid inhalation, such as a sniff, the flow in the airways accelerates and decays quickly. The consequences for flow development and convective trans- port of an inhaled gas were investigated in a subject geometry extending from the nose to the ...

Cholesterol-sensing liver X receptors stimulate Th2-driven allergic eosinophilic asthma in mice [PDF]
, 2016 Introduction: Liver X receptors (LXRs) are nuclear receptors that function as cholesterol sensors and regulate cholesterol homeostasis. High cholesterol has been recognized as a risk factor in asthma; however, the mechanism of this linkage is not known.

Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction Identified Using the Forced Oscillation Technique
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Objective: Lung mechanics using the forced oscillation technique (FOT) is suggested to be equivalent and more sensitive in determining exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) than spirometry.

On the Advantages of Specific Airway Resistance [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1978 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).

Estimating Airway Resistance from Forced Expiration in Spirometry
Applied Sciences, 2019 Spirometry is the gold standard to detect airflow limitation, but it does not measure airway resistance, which is one of the physiological factors behind airflow limitation. In this study, we describe the dynamics of forced expiration in spirometry using
