Serial parametric response mapping (PRM)‐computed tomography revealed dynamic changes in PRM‐functional small airway disease with occupational exposure, highlighting PRM's utility for detecting and monitoring small airway disease. ABSTRACT We report a case illustrating the role of parametric response mapping (PRM) in detecting and monitoring small ...

Feasibility of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation as an adjunct therapy for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
There is evidence to support the use of supplementation with long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCn-3PUFA) from oily fish or fish oil for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Cluster Analysis to Identify Distinct Asthma Phenotypes in the ATLANTIS Cohort
This study identified four clinically distinct asthma clusters. The most severe cluster was characterized by type 2 inflammation and exhibited both large and small airways obstruction, as well as air trapping on CT. Patients in the earlier‐onset cluster exhibited more severe bronchial hyperresponsiveness despite a relatively preserved lung function ...

ABSTRACT Background Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors face an increased risk of pulmonary function deficit (PFD), which may affect physical functioning. We aimed to evaluate parent proxy‐ and self‐reported physical functioning and the association with PFD and abnormal bronchodilator response ( + BDR) among survivors versus controls.

A medical information system for monitoring respiratory function and related nonlinear dynamics [PDF]
In this paper the nonlinear effects in the respiratory systems at low frequencies are measured and evaluated in healthy children and healthy adults. To this aim forced oscillations technique (FOT) has been used to non-invasively measure the lung tissue ...

ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric and young adult hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. The impact of preexisting lung dysfunction on posttransplant outcomes remains understudied. Methods In a multi‐institutional prospective cohort of 444 patients (≤24 years) undergoing

Peripheral airway function and disease burden in COPD
Background While oscillometry appears advantageous over spirometry in detecting peripheral airway dysfunction, a feature of COPD, further research on its role in disease monitoring is needed.

Bronchoprotective tolerance with indacaterol is not modified by concomitant tiotropium in persistent asthma [PDF]
Background: Tiotropium is a long acting antimuscarinic (LAMA), licenced as triple therapy with inhaled corticosteroid and long acting beta-agonist (ICS/LABA).

Pediatric Pulmonology Year in Review 2024: Physiology
ABSTRACT Pulmonary physiology is central to pediatric pulmonology and pulmonary function testing, and in 2024 there were numerous studies published in Pediatric Pulmonology and other journals focused on this topic. This article will review some of the highlights over the past year.

Lung Oscillometry: A Practical Solution for Overcoming Spirometry Challenges
Background: Lung oscillometry is an alternative pulmonary function test in patients unable to perform spirometry due to cough or dyspnea. Objective: The objective of the study was to study the characteristics of lung oscillometry parameters in patients ...
