This article is focused on reviewing the current state-of-the-art of optical fibre pressure
sensors for medical applications. Optical fibres have inherent advantages due to their small …

Background: Obstructive airway disease is nonuniformly distributed throughout the bronchial
tree, although the extent to which this occurs can vary among conditions. The multiple …

Objective: To assess the effect of delivering high-flow nasal cannula flow on end-expiratory
lung volume, continuous distending pressure, and regional ventilation distribution in infants …

Objective. The purpose of this study is to evaluate pulmonary function and quality of life
(QOL) in children treated with early spinal fusion for progressive congenital scoliosis …

While the adverse effects of parental smoking on respiratory health during childhood are
well recognized, its potential impact on early lung development is less clear. This review …

Background Low lung function in early life is associated with later respiratory illness. There
is limited data on lung function in African infants despite a high prevalence of respiratory …

Background For reliable assessment of ventilation inhomogeneity, multiple-breath washout
(MBW) systems should be realistically validated. We describe a new lung model for in vitro …

Background In school-aged children with cystic fibrosis (CF) structural lung damage
assessed using chest CT is associated with abnormal ventilation distribution. The primary …
