Venous occlusion plethysmography vs. Doppler ultrasound in the assessment of leg blood flow kinetics during different intensities of calf exercise [PDF]
PurposeIt has recently been shown that venous occlusion plethysmography (VOP) can successfully assess the rate of increase in leg blood flow (LBF) (LBF kinetics) responses during calf exercise, but there is lack of data supporting its validity ...

Real-time Webcam Heart-Rate and Variability Estimation with Clean Ground Truth for Evaluation [PDF]
Remote photo-plethysmography (rPPG) uses a camera to estimate a person's heart rate (HR). Similar to how heart rate can provide useful information about a person's vital signs, insights about the underlying physio/psychological conditions can be obtained from heart rate variability (HRV).

The use of a mouthpiece to measure ventilatory flow with a pneumotachograph (PNT) introduces a major perturbation to breathing (“instrumental/observer effect”) and suffices to modify the respiratory behavior.

Tidal airway closure in asthma and COPD
Functional closure of small airways can occur during tidal breathing above functional residual capacity (FRC) both in asthma and COPD patients, especially during exacerbations.

The 24-h lung-function profile of once-daily tiotropium and olodaterol fixed-dose combination in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
Background: This study investigated the effects on 24-h lung function and lung volume of a once-daily fixed-dose combination (FDC) of the long-acting muscarinic antagonist tiotropium and the long-acting beta(2)-agonist olodaterol in patients with chronic

Respiration rate and volume measurements using wearable strain sensors. [PDF]
Current methods for continuous respiration monitoring such as respiratory inductive or optoelectronic plethysmography are limited to clinical or research settings; most wearable systems reported only measures respiration rate.

Respiratory Function Assessment through Kinematic Analysis of Chest Wall Movements: Effects of Position and Gender [PDF]
Background: The effect of position and gender on chest movements and respiratory volumes is controversial and investigated in only a few studies.Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of position and gender on the breathing pattern during
