Manifesto on small airway involvement and management in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: an Interasma (Global Asthma Association - GAA) and World Allergy Organization (WAO) document endorsed by Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) and Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA2LEN) [PDF]
Evidence that enables us to identify, assess, and access the small airways in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has led INTERASMA (Global Asthma Association) and WAO to take a position on the role of the small airways in these ...

ABSTRACT Objective Obesity, or excessive body fat, is a significant health risk factor. Western diets (WD) contribute to metabolic dysfunction and obesity, while Mediterranean diets (MD) improve metabolic health. This study examined the contrasting effects of WD versus MD on visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues (VAT, SAT) using a randomized ...

Can Oscillometry Replace Spirometry as a Major Tool for Lung Function Testing? – An Overview
Developing countries face a huge challenge in managing obstructive lung disorders due to frequency, severity, management, and economic impact. Spirometry has been the popular choice to assess the severity and reversibility of airflow obstruction, but the

Late outcomes of a randomized trial of high-frequency oscillation in neonates [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Results from an observational study involving neonates suggested that high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), as compared with conventional ventilation, was associated with superior small-airway function at follow-up.

Antenatal Maternal Smoking and Lung Function in Very Prematurely Born Children
ABSTRACT Introduction Antenatal exposure to maternal smoking negatively impacts on fetal lung development resulting in infant lung function abnormalities. Lung clearance indices (LCI) were worse in term born infants exposed to antenatal maternal smoking compared to not. Our aim was to assess the effect of antenatal maternal smoking on lung function, in

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.

Sensitivity of lung resistance and compliance to beta-blocker induced bronchoconstriction and long acting beta-agonist withdrawal in COPD [PDF]
Little is known about impulse oscillometry (IOS) in COPD. IOS is an effort independent measure of lung resistance and reactance (compliance).

Flow-volume curve analysis for predicting recurrence after endoscopic dilation of airway stenosis [PDF]
The flow-volume curve is a simple test for diagnosing upper airway obstruction. We evaluated its use to predict recurrence in patients undergoing endoscopic dilation for treatment of benign upper airway ...
