Dual test gas pulmonary diffusing capacity in patients with idiopathic scoliosis 40 years after diagnosis [PDF]
There is limited knowledge on diffusing capacity in scoliosis patients. It remains to be determined if impaired pulmonary diffusing capacity is mostly influenced by reduced alveolar–capillary membrane diffusing capacity (DM, CO), reduced pulmonary ...

Lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide in space: microgravity gas density interactions [PDF]
Introduction: During manned space exploration lung health is threatened by toxic planetary dust and radiation. Thus, tests such as lung diffusing capacity (DL) are likely be used in planetary habitats to monitor lung health. During a DL maneuver the rate

Pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide and nitric oxide after COVID‐19: A prospective cohort study (the SECURe study) [PDF]
Many patients exhibit persistently reduced pulmonary diffusing capacity after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). In this study, dual test gas diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide and nitric oxide (DL,CO,NO) metrics and their relationship to disease ...

Mapping EQ5D utilities from forced vital capacity and diffusing capacity in fibrotic interstitial lung disease. [PDF]
ObjectivesFibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) includes a large group of conditions that lead to scarring of the lungs. The lack of available 5-level EuroQol 5D (EQ5D) data has limited the ability to conduct economic evaluations in ILD.

Hyperinflation and reduced diffusing capacity predict prognosis in SCLC: value of extended pre-therapeutic lung function testing [PDF]
Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by aggressive growth and poor prognosis. Although SCLC affects nearly exclusively heavy smokers and leads to frequent respiratory symptoms, the impact of pre-therapeutic lung function testing in ...
