Lung-function analysis in the age group below 5 years has not yet found its way into clinical routine. One possible candidate for routine lung testing in this age group is the analysis of tidal ...

Results 59% of patients with Ilo (with or without asthma) had an abnormal inspiratory FVL, compared to 42% of patients without Ilo. For patients with Ilo as their sole diagnosis, 62% had an abnormal ...

Laryngoscopic images were compared with the corresponding pre- and post-exercise flow-volume loops assessed by four separate physicians and with data from the loops (forced inspiratory flow (FIF ...

Asthma assessment by spirometry is challenging in children as forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) is frequently normal at baseline. Bronchodilator (BD) reversibility testing may reinforce ...

In this work, we perform a flow loop study of the proposed ECT-based method for volume fraction estimation in oil–water two-phase flows. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method in both ...
