Exploratory study into the effect of abdominal mass loading on airways resistance and ventilatory failure [PDF]

, 2016
Objective We hypothesised that the airway resistance during tidal breathing would correlate with a particular pattern of increasing obesity, particularly when supine, and would differ between participants with and without ventilatory failure.

Solar neutrino with Borexino: results and perspectives [PDF]

, 2014
Borexino is a unique detector able to perform measurement of solar neutrinos fluxes in the energy region around 1 MeV or below due to its low level of radioactive background. It was constructed at the LNGS underground laboratory with a goal of solar $^{7}

Cardiopulmonary interactions with beta-blockers and inhaled therapy in COPD [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Beta-blockers remain underused in patients with COPD and cardiovascular disease. Aim: We compared how different inhaled therapies affect tolerability of bisoprolol and carvedilol in moderate to severe COPD.

Effects of donor smoking history on early post-transplant lung function measured by oscillometry

Frontiers in Medicine
IntroductionPrior studies assessing outcomes of lung transplants from cigarette-smoking donors found mixed results. Oscillometry, a non-invasive test of respiratory impedance, detects changes in lung function of smokers prior to diagnosis of COPD, and ...

Reference Value of Impulse Oscillometry in Taiwanese Preschool Children

Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2015
Impulse oscillometry is a potential technique for assessing the respiratory mechanism—which includes airway resistance and reactance during tidal breathing—in minimally cooperative young children.

Peripheral airway function and disease burden in COPD

ERJ Open Research
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.

CeLAND: search for a 4th light neutrino state with a 3 PBq 144Ce-144Pr electron antineutrino generator in KamLAND

, 2013
The reactor neutrino and gallium anomalies can be tested with a 3-4 PBq (75-100 kCi scale) 144Ce-144Pr antineutrino beta-source deployed at the center or next to a large low-background liquid scintillator detector.

Techniques of assessing small airways dysfunction

, 2014
The small airways are defined as those less than 2 mm in diameter. They are a major site of pathology in many lung diseases, not least chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
