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 ...

Effect of novel metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonist on gastroesophageal reflux in dogs during anaesthesia

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives Gastroesophageal reflux during anaesthesia is a common event occurring in dogs with the potential to cause oesophageal injury and aspiration pneumonia. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effect of the novel metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonist TT001 on gastroesophageal reflux during anaesthesia in dogs using two ...

Does size really matter:relationship of particle size to lung deposition and exhaled fraction [PDF]

, 2017
We demonstrate that extra-fine particles are not associated with an appreciably higher exhaled fraction, hence explaining their efficacy profile in asthma.

Influence of clinical setting and cat characteristics on indirectly measured blood pressure and pulse rate in healthy Birman, Norwegian Forest, and Domestic Shorthair cats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2021
Background Measured indirect blood pressure (BP) results in cats in a clinical environment might be affected by stress and characteristics of the cats. Hypothesis To investigate the influence of clinical setting, cat characteristics, and life situation ...

Effect of foot immersion and neck cooling on renal, intestinal, immune and inflammatory markers in older adults exposed to extreme heat

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
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 ...

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

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.

Un-diagnosing persistent adult asthma [PDF]

, 2017
The diagnosis of asthma is usually based on typical symptoms, family history, audible wheeze, peak flow, spirometry, possibly in conjunction with atopy and blood eosinophilia, as well as response to treatment.

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.

Reproducibility and agreement of pulse wave velocity and augmentation index over repeated assessments using two different devices in adolescents

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, Volume 46, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Objectives We investigated the agreement between pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx%) obtained in a controlled fasted condition versus a non‐fasted, uncontrolled, “real‐world” condition. Thereafter, we assessed the reproducibility of PWV and AIx% over three repeated visits under controlled fasted conditions.
