Investigating the relationships among lung function variables in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in men [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the independent contributions of individual lung function variables to outcomes may be lower when they are modelled together if they are collinear.

Lung volume measurements in wheezy infants: comparison of plethysmography and gas dilution.
European Respiratory Journal, 1994 The accuracy both of plethysmographic measurements of thoracic gas volume (TGV) and determinations of functional residual capacity (FRC) by gas dilution techniques in infants with obstructive lung disease is subject to continued dispute.

Determination of reliable lung function parameters in intubated mice
Respiratory Research, 2019 Background Animal models and, in particular, mice models, are important tools to investigate the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases and to test potential new therapeutic drugs. Lung function measurement is a key step in such investigation.

Lung volume indices predict morbidity in smokers with preserved spirometry
Thorax, 2018 Background Abnormal lung volumes that reflect air trapping are common in COPD. However, their significance in smokers with preserved spirometry (normal FEV1 to FVC ratio) is unclear.

Composite Deep Network with Feature Weighting for Improved Delineation of COVID Infection in Lung CT [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 An early effective screening and grading of COVID-19 has become imperative towards optimizing the limited available resources of the medical facilities. An automated segmentation of the infected volumes in lung CT is expected to significantly aid in the diagnosis and care of patients.

Knowledge-based Analysis for Mortality Prediction from CT Images [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics, 2019, 2019 Recent studies have highlighted the high correlation between cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and lung cancer, and both are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Low-Dose CT (LCDT) scans have led to significant improvements in the accuracy of lung cancer diagnosis and thus the reduction of cancer deaths.
