Effect of obesity on airway mechanics
Background: Obesity is known to induce lung function impairment. Previous studies of decline in lung function associated with obesity are well established. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, to evaluate the effects of different obesity

What can we learn about COPD from impulse oscillometry? [PDF]
Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is the most commonly used type of forced oscillation technique in clinical practice, although relatively little is known about its application in COPD.

Exploratory study into the effect of abdominal mass loading on airways resistance and ventilatory failure [PDF]
Objective We hypothesised that the airway resistance during tidal breathing would correlate with a particular pattern of increasing obesity, particularly when supine, and would differ between participants with and without ventilatory failure.

A New View of the Size-Mass Distribution of Galaxies: Using $r_{20}$ and $r_{80}$ instead of $r_{50}$ [PDF]
When investigating the sizes of galaxies it is standard practice to use the half-light radius, $r_{50}$. Here we explore the effects of the size definition on the distribution of galaxies in the size -- stellar mass plane.
