DOI: 10.1002/ppul.26111
Abstract: In children, obesity typically reduces functional residual capacity (FRC), which reduces airway caliber and increases airway resistance. Whether these obesity‐related changes in respiratory function can alter bronchodilator responsiveness is unknown. read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/jamp.2016.1347
Abstract: BACKGROUND Placement of a heat moisture exchanger (HME) between aerosol generator and patient has been associated with greatly reduced drug delivery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of filtered and nonfiltered… read more here.

DOI: 10.1183/23120541.00581-2021
Abstract: Objective Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction is an important cause of exertional dyspnoea. The diagnosis rests on visual judgement of relative changes of the laryngeal inlet during continuous laryngoscopy exercise (CLE) tests, but we lack objective measures… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12931-020-1330-5
Abstract: Background The mechanism for symptomatic improvement after bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is unclear, since spirometry reveals little or no change. In this study, the effects of BT on airway resistance were examined using two independent techniques.… read more here.
