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 ...

Forced expiratory flow‐volume relationships [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1977 Forced expiratory flow-volume relationships have been used to investigate changes in lung mechanics caused by upper abdominal operations. The slope of the 'effort independent' portion of the flow-volume curve increases after operation, suggesting that restriction of respiratory movement is associated with an increase in lung recoil.

Altered Lung Function Test in Asymptomatic Women Using Biomass Fuel for Cooking [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014 Background: One third of the world’s population use biomass fuel like wood, dung or charcoal for cooking. The smoke from these organic materials increases the incidence of respiratory illness including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung ...

Prediction of disease progression, treatment response and dropout in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). [PDF]
, 2014 Drug development in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been characterised by unacceptably high failure rates. In addition to the poor sensitivity in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), numerous causes are known to contribute to ...
