Lung microbiome on admission in critically ill patients with acute bacterial and viral pneumonia

Scientific Reports, 2023
Composition of pulmonary microbiome of patients with severe pneumonia is poorly known. The aim of this work was to analyse the lung microbiome of patients admitted to the intensive care unit  (ICU) with severe community acquired pneumonia (CAP) between ...

Correlations of forced oscillometric bronchodilator response with airway inflammation and disease duration in asthma

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, 2021
Introduction Airway resistance and reactance, measured by forced oscillometry, are used to measure the airway obstruction in patients with asthma. Objectives This study aimed to investigate the oscillometric bronchodilator responses in treated and ...

Measuring Airway Obstruction in Severe Asthma in Children

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
Lung function is an important tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with asthma at all ages. Airway obstruction is a typical feature of asthma and it can be assessed with several lung function techniques. Spirometry, respiratory resistance and
