In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers measured the impact of initial respiratory droplet volume and relative humidity (RH) on the environmental stability of respiratory ...

In 11 patients with severe cases of COPD and hypercapnic respiratory failure, lung volume reduction coil treatment was associated with significant decreases in carbon dioxide levels and improvement in ...

The first randomized controlled trial to compare two different lung volume reduction procedures for people with emphysema has found that both lead to similar improvements in lung function, ...

Registry analysis suggests endoscopic lung volume reduction yields similar physiologic gains across sexes, but women report ...

Diaphragm position on neonatal bedside chest radiograph appeared to be a poor surrogate for aerated lung volume and expansion, with a weak correlation to CT scan calculations. Bedside chest radiograph ...
