An isovolume method for analysis of density dependence of maximal expiratory flows

open access: yes, 1987
The usual method of measuring density dependence of maximum expiratory flows is superimposition at total lung capacity or residual volume of maximum expiratory flow volume (MEFV) curves obtained breathing air and a mixture of 80% He plus 20% O2 (HeO2 ...

Respiratory muscle performance with stretch-shortening cycle manoeuvres: maximal inspiratory pressure-flow curves

open access: yes, 2005
Aim: To test the hypothesis that the maximal inspiratory muscle (IM) performance, as assessed by the maximal IM pressure-flow relationship, is enhanced with the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC).

Estimation of ventilatory capacity during submaximal exercise

open access: yes, 1993
There is presently no precise way to determine ventilatory capacity for a given individual during exercise; however, this information would be helpful in evaluating ventilatory reserve during exercise.

Determinants of forced expiratory flows in newborn infants

open access: yes, 1982
Maximal flows at functional residual capacity (VmaxFRC) from partial expiratory flow-volume (PEFV) curves (achieved with rapid compression of the chest) were obtained on 11 healthy newborn babies. Mean VmaxFRC, size corrected by dividing absolute values

Airway compliance and flow limitation during forced expiration in dogs

open access: yes, 1982
Bronchial pressure measured by means of a Pitot static probe, esophageal pressure, and airflow were monitored during forced lung deflations in six anesthetized dogs.

Pattern and mechanism of airway response to hypocapnia in normal subjects

open access: yes, 1979
We examined the bronchoconstriction produced by airway hypocapnia in normal subjects. Maximal expiratory flow at 25% vital capacity on partial expiratory flow-volume (PEFV) curves fell during hypocapnia both on air and on an 80% helium- 20% oxygen ...

Seasonal change in maximal expiratory flow-volume pattern in patients with Japanese cedar pollenosis.

open access: yes
Fifteen patients with Japanese cedar pollenosis were examined for lower airway function. Flow-volume patterns obtained from flow-volume and volume-time curves during the pollen season (March) and outside of the pollen season (June) were evaluated.

Maximal expiratory flow-volume types in young subjects with past history of nasal allergy and bronchial asthma.

open access: yes, 1991
Pulmonary function tests were performed on 252 healthy young subjects free from respiratory and allergic symptoms, and 80 young subjects with past history of nasal allergy (PNA) and 10 subjects with past history of bronchial asthma (PBA).

Changes in flow-volume curve configuration with bronchoconstriction and bronchodilation

open access: yes, 1986
Changes in the configuration of maximum expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curves following mild degrees of bronchodilation or bronchoconstriction were studied in five normal and five asthmatic subjects.
