Comparison of blood pressure measurements between the Huawei Watch D smartwatch application and the validated Omron M3 Intellisense device: Observational study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Popular wearable devices that record a variety of health metrics, such as real‐time blood pressure (BP), could play a role in detecting hypertension in the population. The objective of this study was to compare the validity of the Huawei D device with that of the Omron M3 Intellisense device used by health workers.

Oscillometry in the diagnosis, assessment, and monitoring of asthma in children and adults: review article.

Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology
Diagnosing asthma typically relies on clinical history, physical examination, and objective lung function tests. Spirometry, the gold standard for assessing lung function, is universally recommended for the diagnostic, assessment and monitoring of asthma.

Real-life effects of benralizumab on airway oscillometry in severe eosinophilic asthma

BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2023
Introduction Eosinophil depletion with benralizumab reduces exacerbations and improves disease control and FEV1 in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. However, few studies have investigated the effect of biologics on small airways dysfunction (SAD)

Breathtaking heights: Lung mechanics and pulmonary extravascular fluid accumulation in female climbers during the K2 expedition

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Female physiological responses to hypoxia remain underexplored, despite growing participation in mountaineering expeditions. Pulmonary interstitial oedema described during acute hypobaric hypoxia can be exacerbated by prolonged physical exercise. It is unclear whether these factors alter the mechanical properties of the respiratory system.

Diagnosis and evaluation of small airway disease and COPD using impulse oscillometry

Scientific Reports
Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a sensitive tool for assessing small airway function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to differentiate between COPD, small airway disease (SAD), and normal groups using IOS, and

Interpreting lung oscillometry results: Z-scores or fixed cut-off values?

ERJ Open Research, 2023
Instead of using % predicted values or Z-scores to define and quantify respiratory abnormality in oscillometry, fixed cut-off values will likely give more accurate discrimination https://bit.ly/3vVmIyE We read with great interest the article by Liang et ...

On‐feet isometric bracing maintains cerebral arterial blood velocity during lower body negative pressure via preload augmentation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Orthostatic stress reduces venous return and stroke volume (SV), risking cerebral hypoperfusion despite autonomic compensation. Although lower‐limb counterpressure manoeuvres improve cerebral perfusion in upright posture, their effects on cerebral blood velocity (CBV) during lower‐body negative pressure (LBNP) and the associated mechanisms are

Oscillometry reference values for children and adolescents

ERJ Open Research
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 ...

Pulse-wave velocity assessments derived from a simple photoplethysmography device: Agreement with a referent device

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
ObjectivePulse-wave velocity (PWV), a common measure of arterial stiffness, can be measured continuously and across multiple body sites using photoplethysmography (PPG).

The impact of respiratory reactance in oscillometry on survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease with a poor prognosis. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) aid in evaluating the disease status of IPF.
