Assessing small airway disease in GLI versus NHANES III based spirometry using area under the expiratory flow-volume curve [PDF]
BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2019 Background Spirometry interpretation is influenced by the predictive equations defining lower limit of normal (LLN), while ‘distal’ expiratory flows such as forced expiratory flow at 50% FVC (FEF50) are important functional parameters for diagnosing ...

Effect of lung volume on forced expiratory flows during rapid thoracoabdominal compression in infants [PDF]
, 1995 The rapid thoracoabdominal compression (RTC) technique is commonly used in pulmonary function laboratories to assess flow-volume relationships in infants unable to produce a voluntary forced expiration maneuver. This technique produces forced expiratory

Association of Body Mass Index (BMI) with Lung Function Parameters in Non-asthmatics Identified by Spirometric Protocols [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014 Introduction: Many studies have been published about the correlation between asthma and obesity in males and females. Various epidemiological data showed that obesity precedes development of asthma and increases the prevalence and incidence of asthma,
