Dextromethorphan versus Dextrorphan: A Quantitative Comparison of Antitussive Potency following Separate Administration of Metabolite

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract To assess the antitussive effects of dextrorphan (DOR) relative to its parent compound, dextromethorphan (DEX) a double‐blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled crossover study was conducted in 23 healthy volunteers using citric acid cough challenge test after administering placebo, DEX, or DOR.

O volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo não é suficiente para avaliar resposta broncodilatadora em doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica Measuring forced expiratory volume in one second alone is not an accurate method of assessing response to bronchodilators in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2005
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a freqüência de variação no volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo após o uso de broncodilatador, em uma amostra de pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica.

Help smokers quit: Tell them their "lung age" [PDF]

, 2008
Perform spirometry on patients who smoke -- even if they're asymptomatic -- and show them their lung age that is, the average age of a nonsmoker with a forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1) equal to theirs. Doing so can help patients kick the habit.

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
