Can informing a patient of the results of spirometry testing increase awareness of the harmful effects of smoking?

Effectiveness of Spirometry as a Motivational Tool for Smoking Cessation A Clinical Trial, the ESPIMOAT Study ...

Recommended management of asthma, including appropriate diagnostic steps and use of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in ...

Conclusion This review consistently found elevated R5-R20 levels in small airway disease across all obstructive lung diseases, even with normal spirometry. A mean X5 value of ≤ -0.1kPa/L/s could ...

Spirometry results were within normal limits with forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) of 82%, forced vital capacity (FVC) of 84%, total lung capacity (TLC) of 80% and diffusion capacity of ...

Objective To conduct a systematic review investigating the normal age-related changes in lung function in adults without known lung disease. Design Systematic review. Data sources MEDLINE, Embase and ...

Pulmonary function tests showed normal spirometry with normal oxygen saturation and a mildly reduced diffusion capacity adjusted for haemoglobin (76% of predicted).

However, considering the comparable spirometry values and self-reported measures of disease burden in both groups (online supplemental table a), we do not believe this had a substantial impact on ...

This value is in keeping with normal values commonly cited in the literature, 3,4 which approximate 15 to 45 per cent. The frequency distribution of the uptakes determined in 1959 is shown in ...

Visit-to-visit FEV1 variation was found to be a mortality risk factor among 9/11 FDNY rescue and recovery workers.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and outcomes of antireflux surgery in lung transplant recipients (LTRs) with BOS and associated gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Materials ...

Nothing was found in her bags or outer clothing. Child Q, now a woman, said she does not know if she is going to “feel normal again”.
