Prognostic significance of chronic respiratory symptoms in individuals with normal spirometry

European Respiratory Journal, 2019
Normal spirometry is often used to preclude airway disease in individuals with unspecific respiratory symptoms. We tested the hypothesis that chronic respiratory symptoms are associated with respiratory hospitalisations and death in individuals with ...

Exercise Capacity and Pulmonary Function in Pediatric Patients With Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection Post‐Surgical Repair: A Retrospective Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anomalous pulmonary venous connection (APVC), including total (TAPVC) and partial (PAPVC) forms, is a congenital heart defect with abnormal pulmonary vein drainage; and while surgical repair has improved survival, its long‐term impact on cardiopulmonary function remains unclear.

Impaired Respiratory Function as an Auxiliary Marker for Disease Progression in Different Motor Subtypes of Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The mechanisms underlying respiratory function impairments in different motor subtypes of Parkinson's disease (PD) remain poorly understood. Objectives This study aims to elucidate the differences in respiratory function between the two main PD motor subtypes, tremor‐dominant (TD) and postural instability gait difficulty (PIGD), and
