The mechanics of the lung, consisting of high deformation, non-linear, rapid and cyclic
loading, remain a critical unknown, hindering advancements in the field despite the pressing …

Background Lung function testing is an essential part of diagnostic workup and monitoring of
asthma, but young children are lacking easy, routine testing methods. However, recent …

Background Infant pulmonary function testing (iPFT) in low‐and middle‐income countries is
limited. We evaluated the early feasibility of iPFT in rural Bangladesh. Methods Experts …

Inertial measurement units (IMUs)-based respiration signal detection provides a low-cost,
noninvasive approach to measure the volumetric changes of the thorax and abdomen as a …

Objectives: Explain how to evaluate patients that present with audible wheezing. Summarize
how to counsel a patient with wheezing. Outline treatment considerations for patients with …

For the first time, impedance pneumography (IP) enables a continuous analysis of the tidal
breathing flow volume (TBFV), overnight. We studied how corticosteroid inhalation …

Background Lung function testing in small children is cumbersome. However, reduced
variability of tidal breathing recorded using impedance pneumography (IP) during sleep was …

Expiratory variability index is associated with asthma risk, wheeze and lung function in infants
with recurrent respiratory symptoms | European Respiratory Society Skip to main content Main …

Standard lung function tests are not feasible in young children, but recent studies show that
the variability of expiratory tidal breathing flow-volume (TBFV) curves during sleep is a …

Wheezing is the symptomatic manifestation of any disease process that causes airway
obstruction. Rene Laennec's development of the stethoscope in 1816 has enabled a better …
