Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Pediatric Pulmonology"
DOI: 10.1002/ppul.24625
Abstract: Asthma is a disease with reversible bronchoconstriction; however, some patients develop fixed airflow obstruction (FAO). Previous studies have reported the incidence and risk factors of FAO in adults; however, the corresponding factors in children remain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00408-018-0132-8
Abstract: ObjectiveFraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) has been proposed as a non-invasive biomarker for allergic inflammation seen in asthma. Many asthmatics in clinical practice have never had spirometry and recent data report misdiagnoses in patients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11695-019-03941-1
Abstract: Morbidly obese subjects with airflow obstruction who underwent laparoscopic bariatric surgery appear to have the greatest risk to develop complications. In a retrospective cohort study, we identified a waist circumference ≥ 120 cm, smoking history ≥5PY and… read more here.
