Validity of non-invasive methods for body composition measurements in older adults [PDF]
, 2012 Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the validity of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) in relation to dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (i.e. the reference standard).

Rodent Breathing Waveforms in ApoE Rats: Statistical and Entropic Differentiation [PDF]
arXivApolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene variations are involved in lipid metabolism and cholesterol transport, with the ApoE4 allele being a known risk factor associated with neurodegenerative conditions later in life. Emerging evidence suggests these genetic variations may also influence respiratory function and vitality.

Pulmonary artery stiffness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) and emphysema: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) COPD Study [PDF]
, 2018 Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and particularly emphysema are characterized by stiffness of the aorta, due in part to accelerated elastin degradation in the lungs and aorta. Stiffness of the pulmonary arteries (PAs) may also be

Stable determination of the surface impedance of an obstacle by far field measurements [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 We deal with the inverse scattering problem of determining the surface impedance of a partially coated obstacle. We prove a stability estimate of logarithmic type for the impedance term by the far field measurements.

Physiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 9, May 2025.Abstract Nearly 40% of US adults over the age of 50 use aspirin (ASA) therapy for the primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Systemic platelet cyclooxygenase inhibition with low‐dose ASA attenuates reflex cutaneous vasodilation and accelerates the rate of rise of core temperature during passive heating in middle‐aged adults.

Oscillometry with or without spirometry for methacholine testing
Physiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, May 2025.Abstract Oscillometry is proposed as a complementary technique to spirometry for methacholine testing. Yet, before being prescribed in conjunction with spirometry, the extent by which the oscillometric readouts are influenced by spirometric maneuvers, especially the deep inspirations, will need to be determined.
