The need for race-specific reference equations for pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide [PDF]

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021
Background Few reference equations exist for healthy adults of various races for pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO). The purpose of this study was to collect pilot data to demonstrate that race-specific reference equations are needed ...

Interpretable machine-learning model for Predicting the Convalescent COVID-19 patients with pulmonary diffusing capacity impairment [PDF]

BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2023
Introduction The COVID-19 patients in the convalescent stage noticeably have pulmonary diffusing capacity impairment (PDCI). The pulmonary diffusing capacity is a frequently-used indicator of the COVID-19 survivors’ prognosis of pulmonary function, but ...

A comparison of pulmonary capillary blood volume and membrane diffusing capacity assessed via two pulmonary diffusing capacity approaches [PDF]

ERJ Open Research
Background The combined measurement of pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and nitric oxide (DLNO) permits the interrogation of pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc) and membrane diffusing capacity (Dm) from a single-breath hold ...

Dual test gas pulmonary diffusing capacity in patients with idiopathic scoliosis 40 years after diagnosis [PDF]

Experimental Physiology
There is limited knowledge on diffusing capacity in scoliosis patients. It remains to be determined if impaired pulmonary diffusing capacity is mostly influenced by reduced alveolar–capillary membrane diffusing capacity (DM, CO), reduced pulmonary ...

Alveolar–capillary reserve in COPD assessed by the pulmonary diffusing capacity response to an upright‐to‐supine postural change [PDF]

Experimental Physiology
In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who exhibit reduced alveolar–capillary reserve, the combined assessment of pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide and nitric oxide (DL,CO,NO) during exercise may pose difficulties ...
