The bronchodilator response in preschool children: A systematic review [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The bronchodilator response (BDR) is frequently used to support diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making for children who wheeze. However, there is little evidence-based guidance describing the role of BDR testing in preschool children and ...

I say IOS you say AOS:comparative bias in respiratory impedance measurements [PDF]
Background: The forced oscillation technique (FOT) measures respiratory impedance during normal tidal breathing and requires minimal patient cooperation.Objective: To compare IOS and AOS devices in patients with asthma and COPD.Methods: We compared two ...

Novel Device for Measuring Lung Function using Oscillometry [PDF]
The forced oscillation technique (FOT) is a non-invasive means of measuring lung mechanics. Broad-band oscillations in flow are delivered to the lungs while the resultant pressure oscillations are recorded.

Is Gly16Arg β2 Receptor Polymorphism Related to Impulse Oscillometry in a Real-Life Asthma Clinic Setting? [PDF]
PURPOSE: We evaluated whether Gly16Arg beta2-receptor genotype relates to impulse oscillometry (IOS) in a real-life clinic setting. METHODS: Patients with persistent asthma taking inhaled corticosteroid ± long-acting beta-agonist (ICS ± LABA) were ...

Randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial of a new chewable formulation of amlodipine for the treatment of hypertension in client-owned cats [PDF]
BACKGROUND: There is an unmet clinical need for a cat‐specific formulation of amlodipine to treat hypertensive cats. OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy of chewable amlodipine tablets in reducing systolic blood pressure (SBP) in cats diagnosed with ...

Techniques for Non-Invasive Monitoring of Arterial Blood Pressure
Since both, hypotension and hypertension, can potentially impair the function of vital organs such as heart, brain, or kidneys, monitoring of arterial blood pressure (BP) is a mainstay of hemodynamic monitoring in acutely or critically ill patients ...

Background: Menopause, a cardiovascular risk in mid-life women, is studied in terms of blood pressure mostly. Arterial stiffness (AS) and central hemodynamics (CH) are direct surrogates measured by pulse wave analysis (PWA) with no study from our region.

Minimal clinically important difference for impulse oscillometry in adults with asthma
Background Impulse oscillometry (IOS) allows an effort-independent evaluation of small airway function in asthma. Unfortunately, well-determined minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) for IOS measures are lacking.
