Forced vital capacity (FVC), peaked expiratory flow rate (PEFR), are additional parameters in the assessment of the reversibility test.

Journal of the Faculty of Medicine Baghdad, 2018
Background: Spirometry is an important test performed in patients expect to have airway obstruction, assessment of intense reaction to inhalers (the trial of reversibility of airway blockade) is a normally utilized technique in clinical and academic studies.

Visual Patterns of Diaphragmatic Motion in Acute Respiratory Failure: A Prospective Pilot Study

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 421-428, March/April 2025.
In this prospective bicentric study, we studied the relationship between the appearance of diaphragmatic motion and the etiological diagnosis of patients admitted to the emergency department with ARF. We observed a different visual pattern in patients with pneumonia. This is an interesting result as it allows the diagnosis of pneumonia without the need

Impact of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapies on liver stiffness and liver enzymes: An observational perspective single‐center cohort study

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The efficacy of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)‐modulator therapies in preventing or ameliorating cystic fibrosis liver disease (CFLD) by correcting CFTR in cholangiocytes is not well‐documented. This study aimed to assess liver function during CFTR‐modulators.

Management of Absent Upper Esophageal Sphincter Opening After Neurological Injury

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the effects of swallowing therapy and cricopharyngeus (CP) muscle surgery on upper esophageal sphincter (UES) opening, oral intake, and airway protection in patients with absent UES opening following neurological injury. CP‐targeted surgeries were associated with improved bolus passage and oral intake, but persistent aspiration ...

Forced expiratory volume and expiratory flow rate in Black miners and in a control group.

South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde, 1976
The peak expiratory flow rate and the forced expiratory volume and 1 second were measured in 772 Black miners who did not have pneumoconiosis, tuberculosis or chronic bronchitis. The same tests were done in 164 non-mining workers. It was found that exposure to dust associated with the miners' work had no effect on the results of these tests.

Feasibility and SNR Performance of Hyperpolarized 129Xe Gas Exchange Imaging Using a Balanced SSFP Sequence

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a balanced SSFP (bSSFP) sequence for pulmonary 129Xe dissolved‐phase imaging based on a previously described double‐echo sequence facilitating separation into red blood cell and membrane signals, to test its feasibility and compare its SNR performance and imaging results to an analogous FLASH sequence.

Image‐Derived Volumetry During Forced Expiration Using a 3D Fermat Looped, Orthogonally Encoded Trajectory

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To enable MRI‐based nongated 3D depiction of forced expiration with both high spatio‐temporal resolution and fidelity of lung dynamics. Methods An undersampled 3D Fermat looped, orthogonally encoded trajectory (FLORET) was optimized for nonsegmented dynamic acquisitions during forced expiration and a corresponding model‐based ...
