Reference equations for pulmonary diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide and nitric oxide in adult Caucasians

European Respiratory Journal, 2018
The aim of this study was to determine reference equations for the combined measurement of diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO) (DLCONO). In addition, we wanted to appeal for consensus regarding methodology of the

Heritability and genome-wide association study of diffusing capacity of the lung

European Respiratory Journal, 2018
Although several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have investigated the genetics of pulmonary ventilatory function, little is known about the genetic factors that influence gas exchange.

Carrying Capacity of a Population Diffusing in a Heterogeneous Environment

Mathematics, 2020
The carrying capacity of the environment for a population is one of the key concepts in ecology and it is incorporated in the growth term of reaction-diffusion equations describing populations in space.

Are there sex differences in the capillary blood volume and diffusing capacity response to exercise?

Journal of applied physiology, 2017
Previous work suggests that women may exhibit a greater respiratory limitation in exercise compared with height-matched men. Diffusion capacity (DlCO) increases with incremental exercise, and the smaller lungs of women may limit membrane diffusing ...

Convergence of diffusion with concentrating capacity

Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1989
AbstractThe diffusion of electric charge on a thin-film dielectric is described by an initial-boundary-value problem for a parabolic partial differential equation on a planar region. Consider the situation where conductivity on a given subregion increases to large values and the corresponding limiting problem has the total capacitance of that subregion

The effect of aging and cardiorespiratory fitness on the lung diffusing capacity response to exercise in healthy humans.

Journal of applied physiology, 2017
Aging is associated with deterioration in the structure and function of the pulmonary circulation. We characterized the lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), alveolar-capillary membrane conductance (DmCO), and pulmonary-capillary blood ...

Two-Dimensional GaN: An Excellent Electrode Material Providing Fast Ion Diffusion and High Storage Capacity for Li-Ion and Na-Ion Batteries [PDF]

ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces, 2018,10 (45),38978, 2018
Identifying applicable anode materials is a significant task for Li- and Na-ion battery (LIB and NIB) technologies. We propose the GaN monolayer (2D GaN) can be a good anode candidate. The GaN monolayer manifests stable Li/Na adsorption and inherently low theoretical voltages.

Spirometry, Static Lung Volumes, and Diffusing Capacity

Respiratory care, 2017
BACKGROUND: Spirometric Z-scores from the Global Lung Initiative (GLI) rigorously account for age-related changes in lung function and are thus age-appropriate when establishing spirometric impairments, including a restrictive pattern and air-flow ...

Type 1 Diabetes Duration Decreases Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity during Exercise

Respiration, 2016
Background: Diabetes damages peripheral tissues; however, its effects on the lung are less known. Lung diffusing capacity (DLCO) is influenced by alveolar-capillary membrane conductance (DM) and pulmonary capillary blood volume (VC), both of which are ...

Clinical and radiographic features of sarcoidosis in menopausal women: The impact on therapeutic approach and prognosis [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2010
Background/Aim. Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. The aim of the study was to determine are there significant differences in clinical manifestations, radiographic and lung function findings and therapeutic approach
