Pulmonary function tests [PDF]
Comroe and his associates in their very instructive and concise book on clinical physiology, entitled The Lung, said: “Tests of pulmonary function have proved of definite value both in diagnosis and in guiding therapy of patients with cardiopulmonary disorders.” I am sure that a larger utilization of these tests before operating on cardiopulmonary ...

Loss of primary cilia in endothelial cells promotes EndMT and vascular abnormalities in the ovarian tumor microenvironment through EphA2 activation. Using human samples, in vitro models, and endothelial‐specific Kif3a‐knockout mice, we show that primary cilia loss drives the acquisition of cancer‐associated fibroblast‐like phenotypes, thereby ...

Respiratory muscle training with normocapnic hyperpnea improves ventilatory pattern and thoracoabdominal coordination, and reduces oxygen desaturation during endurance exercise testing in COPD patients [PDF]
Background: Few data are available about the effects of respiratory muscle training with normocapnic hyperpnea (NH) in COPD. The aim is to evaluate the effects of 4 weeks of NH (Spirotiger®) on ventilatory pattern, exercise capacity, and quality of life (
