An Age‐Friendly Approach to Caring for Chronic Lung Disease in the Ambulatory Setting

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many common chronic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung disease (ILD), have much greater prevalence among older adults and as a result, pose a substantial burden of morbidity, disability, and mortality. The care of older adults with chronic lung disease necessitates an age‐friendly approach

The predictive value of handheld peak expiratory flow metre and IPAG questionnaire as a screening tool for COPD among high-risk patients

Nigerian Frontline Medicine Journal
Introduction: Chronic Obstructive pulmonary Disease (COPD) is increasing in Africa due to multiple risk factors like smoking and use of biomass fuels'. There are challenges in the diagnosis of COPD at primary care due to scarcity of spirometers.  Aim:

Active Cycle of Breathing Technique Versus Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure Therapy Versus Exercise With Huffing During an Exacerbation of Bronchiectasis: A Randomised, Controlled Trial

Respirology, EarlyView.
Walking with huffing and the active cycle of breathing technique produced similar improvements in sputum expectoration and quality‐of‐life during hospitalisation for individuals experiencing a bronchiectasis exacerbation, while oscillating positive‐expiratory‐pressure therapy produced minimal changes.

Local Eviction Moratoria and the Spread of COVID‐19

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT At different stages during the initial onset of the COVID‐19 pandemic, various US states and local municipalities enacted eviction moratoria. One of the main aims of these moratoria was to slow the spread of COVID‐19 infections. We deploy a semiparametric difference‐in‐differences approach with an event study specification to examine whether ...

A Test of the Coase Conjecture Using Prices of Electronic Books

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Coase Conjecture predicts that a durable‐goods monopolist without commitment will rapidly cut price toward marginal cost. We test this prediction in the electronic‐book market using release‐day prices. To proxy for marginal cost, we use competitive prices of public‐domain electronic books on the same platforms.

A self-regulated expiratory flow device for mechanical ventilation: a bench study

Intensive Care Medicine Experimental
Introduction Unregulated expiratory flow may contribute to ventilator-induced lung injury. The amount of energy dissipated into the lungs with tidal mechanical ventilation may be used to quantify potentially injurious ventilation.
