We conducted a prospective birth cohort study of healthy infants in which we measured lung function shortly after birth with the use of tidal breathing flow-volume loops (the fraction of ...

A new study utilizing PREFUL MRI has identified significant lung abnormalities in children suffering from long Covid without ...

Inspiratory capacity was measured at rest and approximately 5 min into each target (V̇ E) to determine placement of tidal flow–volume loops within the maximal flow–volume loop corrected for ...

The MEF 50:MIF 50 ratio, normally between 0.9 and 1.0, will decrease to less than 0.2 in patients with an intrathoracic obstruction or increase to more than 1.0 in those with an extrathoracic ...

Exercise tidal flow met or exceeded the expiratory boundary of the maximal flow volume loop over 72% of the ... (CPET) offers a functional assessment of lung performance and efficiency in a ...

Expiratory flow limitation is a hallmark finding in patients with severe airflow obstruction, as in COPD. It is extremely difficult for these patients to increase their expiratory flow above its ...

Journal of the American Medical Association put a dent in the arguments against Marijuana smoking today, with release of a new report showing casual pot smokers might even have stronger lungs ...

A new study utilizing PREFUL MRI has identified significant lung abnormalities in children suffering from long Covid without ... (oxygen flow), flow-volume loop correlation metric (FVL-CM ...
