Feasibility of online home spirometry in systemic sclerosis–associated interstitial lung disease: a pilot study

open access: yesRheumatology, 2020
Objectives Frequent monitoring of forced vital capacity at home may be of added value in patients with SSc-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) to monitor disease progression and guide treatment decisions.

SmoothHess: ReLU Network Feature Interactions via Stein's Lemma [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Several recent methods for interpretability model feature interactions by looking at the Hessian of a neural network. This poses a challenge for ReLU networks, which are piecewise-linear and thus have a zero Hessian almost everywhere. We propose SmoothHess, a method of estimating second-order interactions through Stein's Lemma.

The relationship between the COPD Assessment Test score and airflow limitation in Japan in patients aged over 40 years with a smoking history. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: A large number of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in Japan remain undiagnosed, primarily due to the underuse of spirometry. Two studies were conducted to see whether the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) in primary care has the

Spirometry and FeNO testing for asthma in children in UK primary care: a prospective observational cohort study of feasibility and acceptability.

open access: yesThe British journal of general practice : the journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners, 2020
BACKGROUND The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommends the use of spirometry and measuring the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) as part of the diagnostic work-up for children with suspected asthma, and spirometry for asthma ...

Prevalence of airflow limitation in outpatients with cardiovascular diseases in Japan. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background and objectives: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) commonly coexist and share common risk factors. The prevalence of COPD in outpatients with a smoking history and CVD in Japan is unknown.

Clinical Trial Readiness in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy R1 (LGMDR1): A GRASP Consortium Study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Identifying functional measures that are both valid and reliable in the limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) population is critical for quantifying the level of functional impairment related to disease progression in order to establish clinical trial readiness in the context of anticipated therapeutic trials.

Prognostic significance of chronic respiratory symptoms in individuals with normal spirometry

open access: yesEuropean 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 ...

Fully Printed Variable Orifice Flowmeter with Built‐In Temperature Compensation for Application in Mechanical Ventilation

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing, specifically fused deposition modeling, offers an innovative approach to creating 3D‐printed variable orifice flowmeters with integrated temperature compensation. Using carbon‐black TPU, the primary component (a variable orifice) and the secondary element (a diaphragm pressure sensor) are fabricated.
