Flow-volume curve analysis for predicting recurrence after endoscopic dilation of airway stenosis [PDF]

, 2019
The flow-volume curve is a simple test for diagnosing upper airway obstruction. We evaluated its use to predict recurrence in patients undergoing endoscopic dilation for treatment of benign upper airway ...

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 ...

New Spirometry Indices for Detecting Mild Airflow Obstruction. [PDF]

, 2018
The diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) relies on demonstration of airflow obstruction. Traditional spirometric indices miss a number of subjects with respiratory symptoms or structural lung disease on imaging.

Efficacy and Safety of Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty for Patients With Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension and Comorbid Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is a promising treatment modality for nonoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). However, BPA for atypical CTEPH with concurrent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains ...

Abdominal functional electrical stimulation to improve respiratory function after spinal cord injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2016
Objectives: Abdominal functional electrical stimulation (abdominal FES) is the application of a train of electrical pulses to the abdominal muscles, causing them to contract. Abdominal FES has been used as a neuroprosthesis to acutely augment respiratory
