Daily Home Spirometry: An Effective Tool for Detecting Progression in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. [PDF]

Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 2016
Rationale: Recent clinical trial successes have created an urgent need for earlier and more sensitive endpoints of disease progression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

An Age‐Friendly Approach to Caring for Chronic Lung Disease in the Ambulatory Setting

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many common chronic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung disease (ILD), have much greater prevalence among older adults and as a result, pose a substantial burden of morbidity, disability, and mortality. The care of older adults with chronic lung disease necessitates an age‐friendly approach

Improving survival outcomes in lung transplant recipients through early detection of bronchiolitis obliterans: Daily home spirometry versus standard pulmonary function testing [PDF]

, 2014
Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is a fibrotic inflammatory process that manifests in a significant number of lung transplant recipients within five years of transplant.

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...

Intravenous paracetamol does not have significant opioid‐sparing effects when used as part of a multimodal analgesic protocol in dogs undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Data evaluating paracetamol combined with NSAIDs in dogs are scarce. Results of clinical studies in dogs investigating intravenous paracetamol vary. Methods Dogs were randomised to either receive 10 mg/kg paracetamol intravenously after induction of anaesthesia and every 8 hours during hospitalisation (test) or not (control).

Decreased handgrip strength can predict lung function impairment in male workers: a cross sectional study

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2020
Background Spirometry is useful for evaluating respiratory health status and predicting health-related outcomes. As spirometry requires skilled technician and takes time, it is useful to find simple way for predicting lung function impairment. The aim of

A multi-centre, randomized, controlled trial on coaching and telemonitoring in patients with cystic fibrosis: conneCT CF

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021
Background The extend of lung disease remains the most important prognostic factor for survival in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), and lack of adherence is the main reason for treatment failure.

Predicting total lung capacity from spirometry: a machine learning approach

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
Background and objectiveSpirometry patterns can suggest that a patient has a restrictive ventilatory impairment; however, lung volume measurements such as total lung capacity (TLC) are required to confirm the diagnosis.

Respiratory safety of lemborexant in adult and elderly subjects with moderate‐to‐severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Lemborexant 10 mg, a dual orexin‐receptor antagonist (DORA), did not elicit respiratory depressant effects, as measured by peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) or apnea–hypopnea index (AHI), in subjects with moderate‐to‐severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Usefulness of home spirometry in childhood asthma [PDF]

, 2009
Although the global initiative on Asthma (GINA) guidelines advocate home monitoring of peak flow in the follow-up of asthma to assess disease severity and to help in making in making the diagnosis of asthma in children, this recommendation is not based ...
