Residual Volume and Total Lung Capacity at Diagnosis Predict Overall Survival in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients [PDF]
Cancer MedicineBackground Residual volume (RV) / total lung capacity (TLC) ratio has been found to better predict functional impairments than spirometry and is associated with mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; however, it is rarely studied in lung ...

Point-of-care ultrasound estimation of gastric residual volume in preterm infants: development of a calculation model [PDF]
Italian Journal of PediatricsBackground The aspiration of gastric residual volume through the gastric tube increases the risk of feed interruption episodes, prolongs the time needed to achieve full enteral feeding and regain birth weight, and may potentially damage the gastric ...

Evaluation of Gastric Contents and Volume After Ingestion of Apple Juice versus Pure Complex Carbohydrate Using Gastric Ultrasonography: A Randomised Clinical Study [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023 Introduction: Gastric ultrasound is a non-invasive tool for assessing gastric content and volume. Aspiration of gastric contents is a serious perioperative complication that contributes to mortality and morbidity following general anaesthesia.

Clinical impact of long-term change in air trapping on pulmonary function and computed tomography parameters in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine, 2021 Background/Aims Air trapping is associated with unfavorable outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present study evaluated the association between longitudinal changes in air trapping with pulmonary function, computed tomography ...

Estimating postvoid residual volume without measuring residual bladder volume during serial cystometrograms [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2016 The postvoid residual volume (PVR) is a common urodynamic parameter used to quantify the severity of lower urinary tract dysfunction. However, the serial cystometrograms that are typically used to assess bladder function in animal models make measuring PVR very difficult. Current approaches are to either remove PVR after each void to measure it, which
