The study of respiratory mechanics and control of breathing ideally requires an accurate and noninvasive measurement of lung volume changes (ΔV L) not interfering with patients' spontaneous activity.

Mold is a silent threat, often going unnoticed as it quietly harms health. What's concerning is that exposure to mold during early childhood leaves its mark way into adolescence. In a study published ...

What are pulmonary function tests? Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are tests of lung function. They are intended to evaluate and monitor chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is ...

Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is a treatment for end-stage lung disease caused by emphysema. Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that causes shortness of breath ...

Diaphragm position on neonatal bedside chest radiograph appeared to be a poor surrogate for aerated lung volume and expansion, with a weak correlation to CT scan calculations. Bedside chest radiograph ...

The major sites of obstruction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are small airways (<2 mm in diameter). We wanted to determine whether there was a relationship between small-airway ...
