Evaluation of air-displacement plethysmography in children aged 5-7 years using a three-component model of body composition [PDF]
, 2003 The aim of the present study was to evaluate air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) in children aged 5-7 years. Body-composition measurements were obtained by ADP, H-2 dilution and anthropometry in twenty-eight children. Calculation of body volume by ADP

An apparatus for the measurement of lung volume and compliance in mice [PDF]
Laboratory Animals, 1990 Pressure-volume (P-V) curves and total lung capacity (TLC) were measured in excised lung of mice using a water manometer and a closed system in which the humidity and temperature were controlled. In pathogen-free mice there are no significant differences in elastic properties of these lungs in relation to their age.

Sleep‐Disordered Breathing, Hypoxia, and Pulmonary Physiologic Influences in Atrial Fibrillation
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023 Background We leverage a large clinical cohort to elucidate sleep‐disordered breathing and sleep‐related hypoxia in incident atrial fibrillation (AF) development given the yet unclear contributions of sleep‐related hypoxia and pulmonary physiology in ...
