Indacaterol and glycopyrronium versus indacaterol on body plethysmography measurements in COPD\u2014a randomised controlled study [PDF]
Background Dual bronchodilator therapy is recommended for symptomatic patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). There are limited data on effects of a combination of two long-acting bronchodilators on lung function ...

Knockdown of PHOX2B in the retrotrapezoid nucleus reduces the central CO2 chemoreflex in rats
PHOX2B is a transcription factor essential for the development of different classes of neurons in the central and peripheral nervous system. Heterozygous mutations in the PHOX2B coding region are responsible for the occurrence of Congenital Central ...

Opto-electronic Plethysmography
Recent developments of Opto-Electronic plethysmography allow a noninvasive and accurate measurement of the volume of the chest wall and its different thoraco-abdominal compartments, without any calibration specific on the subject under analysis. OEP provides the complete ventilatory pattern without using any device attached to the subject in any ...

A Calibration Device to Compare Body Plethysmographs Among Pediatric Lung Function Laboratories
Multi-center studies in specific airway resistance have shown significant inter laboratory variability. Comparison of plethysmographic equipment using a lung model easily transportable from one site to another should be of help to international normative

Tidal breathing parameters measured using structured light plethysmography in healthy children and those with asthma before and after bronchodilator [PDF]
Structured light plethysmography (SLP) is a light-based, noncontact technique that measures tidal breathing by monitoring displacements of the thoracoabdominal (TA) wall.

The Impact of Stretching Intensities on Neural and Autonomic Responses: Implications for Relaxation
Stretching is an effective exercise for increasing body flexibility and pain relief. This study investigates the relationship between stretching intensity and relaxation effects, focusing on brainwaves and autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. We used

A nebulized nanoassembly alleviates radiation‐induced lung injury by reprogramming macrophages through coordinated ROS scavenging, NAD+ replenishment, and PPAR‐γ activation. Redox balance, mitochondrial homeostasis, and immune regulation are restored, revealing a microenvironment‐centered strategy for localized radioprotection.

Evaluation of air-displacement plethysmography in children aged 5-7 years using a three-component model of body composition [PDF]
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

Development of a plethysmography system for use under microgravity conditions [PDF]
We present a novel application of strain-gauge plethysmography that is suitable to detect blood volume variations in the human venous system. The plethysmography system uses capacitive sensors that are electrically connected to a portable electronic unit
