Serum methylarginines and spirometry-measured lung function in older adults. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
RationaleMethylarginines are endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitors that have been implicated in animal models of lung disease but have not previously been examined for their association with spirometric measures of lung function in humans ...

Diurnal Variation in Peak Expiratory Flow and Forced Expiratory Volume [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2015
Introduction: Diurnal variability in airways has most commonly been reported using peak expiratory flow (PEF) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). Characteristics of variability in small, mid and large airways caliber are expected to be

Air pollution and airway resistance at age 8 years - the PIAMA birth cohort study. [PDF]

, 2018
Air pollution has been found to adversely affect children's lung function. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s and forced vital capacity from spirometry have been studied most frequently, but measurements of airway resistance may provide additional ...
