Measurement of Airway Responsiveness on Vigil and Unrestrained Mouse
Bio-Protocol, 2013 Airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine is an important characteristic of asthma. This protocol describes how to measure airway response to methacholine in vigil and unrestraint mouse.

Evaluation of air-displacement plethysmography in children aged 5-7 years using a three-component model of body composition [PDF]
, 2003 The aim of the present study was to evaluate air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) in children aged 5-7 years. Body-composition measurements were obtained by ADP, H-2 dilution and anthropometry in twenty-eight children. Calculation of body volume by ADP

Whole body air displacement plethysmography compared with hydrodensitometry for body composition analysis [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2000 To assess the acceptability and feasibility of whole body air displacement plethysmography in children and to determine its precision and agreement with hydrodensitometry, an appropriate reference method.Age specific two component model equations were used to predict fat mass from body density in 22 children aged 8-12 years and in 10 adults for ...
