Maximal Expiratory and Inspiratory Flow-Volume Curves in Parkinson's Disease

The American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1989
Abstract In order to investigate the type and degree of upper airway obstruction (UAO) in a group of patients with Parkinson's disease in different stages of the disease, we obtained maximal expiratory and inspiratory flow-volume (MEFV and MIFV) curves and maximal static mouth pressures.

Validity of simple physical models in interpreting maximal expiratory flow-volume curves

Respiration Physiology, 1972
Abstract The effort independent portion of the maximal expiratory flow-volume (MEV) curve can be described by means of simple equations representing one-compartment physical models, based on Mead's equal pressure point (EPP) concept. Three such descriptions have been tested on flow-volume curves obtained in 17 healthy individuals during forced ...

The Maximal Expiratory Flow-Volume Curve in Normal Subjects in India

Chest, 1986
Data on pulmonary function, with particular reference to flow-volumes, were obtained in 760 normal healthy Indians in Bombay, who had never smoked and who had no symptom or history of cardiorespiratory disease. Prediction equations were derived for spirometric parameters and for maximal expiratory flows. The maximal expiratory flow-volume curves showed

Variability in the Maximal Expiratory Flow Volume Curve in Asymptomatic Smokers and in Nonsmokers

The American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1974
Abstract Variability in maximal expiratory flow volume (MEFV) curves was studied in a group of non-smokers and asymptomatic smokers, using the body Plethysmograph to measure lung volume. Several factors were evaluated for their ability to predict maximal expiratory flows (MEF) at various lung volumes. Of the factors studied, age, sex,

Are There Any Impairments of Maximal Expiratory Flow-Volume Curves by Passive Smoking?

International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health Supplement, 1990
Impairments of lung function are generally found more often in active smokers than in non-smokers. Thus, the question arises whether the passive inhalation of tobacco smoke may also cause such an effect.

The Characteristics of the Concavity of Descending Limb of Maximal Expiratory Flow-Volume Curves Generated by Spirometry

Lung
This study examined the concavity (angle β, central and peripheral concavity) of the descending limb of the maximal expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curves to reflect various ventilatory defects, including obstructive, restrictive, or mixed patterns.We conducted a cross-sectional study collecting spirometry data from a healthcare center and a tertiary ...

Maximal Expiratory Flow Volume Curves in Workers Exposed to Asbestos

Respiration, 2009
We have studied 40 workers with varying industrial exposure to asbestos, using routine spirometry and maximal expiratory flow volume curves (MEFVC). Abnormalities of MEFVC were common and seen in those with normal spirometry and total lung capacity.

Variability of Maximal Expiratory Flow-Volume Curve in Young Volley Players

Respiration, 2009
In order to assess the variability of forced expiratory flows, 15 male players (age 16–19 years, height 182–201 cm) of the Italian National Junior Volley team were studied twice with the pneumotachygraph of the computerized Hewlett-Packard Pulmonary System.

Quantifying the shape of the maximal expiratory flow–volume curve in mild COPD

Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2015
Maximal expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curve evaluation using absolute and percent predicted values of flow and volume are used to diagnose respiratory disease, but the shape of the curve is rarely used. Three mathematical methods were used to quantify shape of MEFV curves in subjects with mild COPD (n=19) and matched healthy controls (n=15). Those with

Assessment of Ventilatory Performance of Athletes Using the Maximal Expiratory Flow-Volume Curve

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1986
We carried out a maximum expiratory flow-volume curve (MEFV) and a spirometric recording with 67 athletes of different ages (15-27 years) and disciplines (rowers, kayakists, cyclists, swimmers) and with 20 adult and 13 adolescent nonathletic controls of matching ages.
