Automatic cough detection based on airflow signals for portable spirometry system [PDF]

Informatics in Medicine Unlocked 18 (2020) 100313, 2019
We give a short introduction to cough detection efforts that were undertaken during the last decade and we describe the solution for automatic cough detection developed for the AioCare portable spirometry system. In contrast to more popular analysis of sound and audio recordings, we fully based our approach on airflow signals only.

Spirometry in children [PDF]

Primary Care Respiratory Journal, 2013
Respiratory disorders are responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality in children. Spirometry is a useful investigation for diagnosing and monitoring a variety of paediatric respiratory diseases, but it is underused by primary care physicians and paediatricians treating children with respiratory disease.

Lung volumes identify an at-risk group in persons with prolonged secondhand tobacco smoke exposure but without overt airflow obstruction. [PDF]

, 2018
IntroductionExposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) is associated with occult obstructive lung disease as evident by abnormal airflow indices representing small airway disease despite having preserved spirometry (normal forced expiratory volume in 1 s-to ...

Clinical evaluation of nebulized verapamil in out‐patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 16, Issue 12, Page 802-811, December 2022., 2022
Single dose nebulized verapamil inhalation showed improvement in V/Q mismatch throught increase FVC. Nebulized verapamil inhalation improved gas exchanged and increased spO2. Nebulized verapamil inhalation for out‐patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease improved spirometric parameter.

‘Teach me how to look after myself’: What people with bronchiectasis want from education in a pulmonary rehabilitation setting

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 59-69, January 2023., 2023
In the education component of pulmonary rehabilitation, people with bronchiectasis seek to obtain greater clarity on the underlying cause of their condition and its prognosis. Further knowledge about self‐management strategies, treatment for extra‐pulmonary symptoms and the role of exercise outside of pulmonary rehabilitation as part of management were
