Comparison of Predicted Total Lung Capacity and Total Lung Capacity by Computed Tomography in Lung Transplantation Candidates. [PDF]
Yonsei Med J, 2016 Lung size mismatch is a major cause of poor lung function and worse survival after lung transplantation (LTx). We compared predicted total lung capacity (pTLC) and TLC measured by chest computed tomography (TLC(CT)) in LTx candidates.We reviewed the medical records of patients on waiting lists for LTx.

Assessment of Diaphragmatic Mobility by Transthoracic Ultrasound in Patients with Interstitial Lung Diseases [PDF]
Al-Azhar International Medical Journal, 2023 Background: Interstitial lung diseases may promote respiratory muscles dysfunction due to increased lung elastic recoil, chronic hypoxemia, systemic inflammation, physical inactivity, malnutrition and corticosteroids therapy.

Differences in total lung capacity among Indians and Europeans
Medical Journal of Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, 2023 Background: Total lung capacity (TLC) is the volume of air in the lungs at the end of a maximal inhalation. TLC mainly depends on various factors/predictors such as height, age, gender, and ethnicity, and therefore, population-specific reference ...

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 ...

Should the Functional Residual Capacity be Ignored? [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2013 Aim and Objectives: The functional residual capacity was given the least importance than the other lung volume parameters. Studies have revealed the restrictive pattern of lung disease in patients with liver cirrhosis.

On defining total lung capacity in the mouse [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2004 Maximal lung volume or total lung capacity in experimental animals is dependent on the pressure to which the lungs are inflated. Although 25-30 cmH2O are nominally used for such inflations, mouse pressure-volume (P-V) curves show little flattening on inflation to those pressures.

Air Trapping and the Risk of COPD Exacerbation: Analysis From Prospective KOCOSS Cohort
Frontiers in Medicine, 2022 Background and AimsAir trapping is a predictive index for a decline in lung function and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the role of air trapping in COPD exacerbation has rarely been studied.
