The lower respiratory airway wall in children in health and disease
Understanding childhood diseases affecting the airway wall, interactions between airway (AW) structure and function, and the interrelationship between different AW diseases is of utmost importance to prevent irreversible COPD and bronchiectasis in adultho
An adjusted and time-saving method to measure collateral ventilation with Chartis
The volume trend for the previous 20 s (VT20) is an adjusted method of the Chartis measurement. This feature helps to interpret the Chartis measurement more easily and it effectively shortens the Chartis assessment time, especially in cases with low flow.
Efficacy and safety of single-inhaler triple therapy of glycopyrronium, formoterol and fluticasone in patients with COPD: a double-blind, randomised controlled trial
Airz-FF (GB/FF/FP) is the first SITT combination launched in India for COPD. Its efficacy is comparable to open-triple therapy (GB+FF/FP); and it is safe and well tolerated in symptomatic COPD patients with history of exacerbations.
Comparing individual and population differences in minute ventilation/carbon dioxide production slopes using centile growth curves and log-linear allometry
This article provides centile curves of VʹE/VʹCO2 slopes and demonstrates that by adopting log-linear models, more trustworthy inferences with group differences will also be found
