Background Intra-breath oscillometry has been proposed as a sensitive means of detecting airway obstruction in young children. We aimed to assess the impact of early life wheezing and lower respiratory tract illness on lung function, using both standard ...

Chronic Sleep Irregularity Is Common, Persistent, and Associated With Poorer Sleep Health
ABSTRACT Sleep irregularity, characterised by inconsistent sleep duration and timing, is increasingly linked to adverse health outcomes including hypertension. However, the persistence and long‐term effects of irregular sleep remain unclear, largely due to short sleep monitoring periods in past studies.

Abstract Older adults with reduced thermoregulatory capabilities are increasingly at risk of heat‐related pathophysiological outcomes (e.g., acute kidney injury, heatstroke) due to increasingly frequent, prolonged and intense heatwaves. Foot immersion and neck cooling have been proposed as practical, non‐electrical cooling strategies for protecting ...

Impact of obesity on pulmonary function of preschool children: an impulse oscillometry study [PDF]
Background The increasing global prevalence of obesity poses significant public health problems, as obesity exerts adverse effects on many systems and lung function. However, research on the lung function of preschool children with obesity is limited and

Improvement of Severe Volume Dependent Airway Closure With Tezepelumab: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Severe asthma may be complicated by airway remodeling, manifesting as higher symptom burden, airflow limitation and reduced treatment response. The effect of biologics on lung function changes remains uncertain. We report a 31‐year‐old man with severe uncontrolled asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis, characterized by ...

Respiratory oscillometry in individuals with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva
Background Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare genetic bone disease that is characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification of the thoracic cavity.

Oscillometry reference values for children and adolescents
Background Oscillometry devices allow quantification of respiratory function at tidal breathing but device-specific reference equations are scarce: the present study aims to create sex-specific oscillometric reference values for children and adolescents ...
