Maximal Forced Inspiratory Flow Dynamics and Acute Exacerbation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients with Exacerbation History [PDF]

open access: yesTuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), characterized by progressive airflow obstruction and frequent exacerbations, is a significant global health burden. COPD severity has traditionally been assessed using expiratory flow measurements,

Large lungs may predict increased air trapping in navy divers

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2022
Navy divers tend to have large lungs and low expiratory flow rates in the terminal portion of a spirogram. We examined Finnish Navy divers for the presence of air trapping, airway obstruction, and functional airway compression, and their association with

The impact of gingivitis reduction on lung function: a randomized trial under intensified oral hygiene

open access: yesTrials, 2023
Background Periodontal disease and lung function impairment were found to be associated with low-grade systemic or local inflammation, and it might be that gingival/periodontal inflammation triggers lung function due to systemic inflammation or the ...

A COMPARISON OF EXPIRATORY AND INSPIRATORY FLOW RATES IN HEALTH AND IN CHRONIC PULMONARY DISEASE BY [PDF]

open access: yes, 1959
More attention has been paid to the analysis of forced expiratory spirograms than to the inspiratory counterpart, probably because expiration is the more obvious difficulty in chronic obstructive respiratory disease.

Spirographic study of functional reserves of masters’ athletes in track-and field

open access: yesPedagogy of Physical Culture and Sports
Background and Study Aim. The progressive aging of the global population presents significant challenges, particularly in maintaining the functional reserves of vital systems. The respiratory system is crucial for sustaining physical performance. However,

PECULIARITIES OF EXTERNAL RESPIRATION FUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE WITH DEFICIT OF ALPHA-1-ANTITRYPSIN

open access: yesМедицинский совет, 2016
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading reasons of mortality in the whole world. The insufficiency of alpha-1-antitrypsin (А1АТ) protein is an important factor of genetic predisposition to COPD development.

Maximal respiratory flow rates in tropical eosinophilia [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Maximal expiratory flow rates such as Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR), rates at 25%, 50% and 75% of forced vital capacity (VE 25%, VE 50% and VE 75%) were studied in twenty untreated tropical eosinophilia (TE) patients.
