Abstract: Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) is a major marker of exertional dyspnoea in severe emphysema. We hypothesized that bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) using endobronchial valves (EBVs) decreases DH. read more here.

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation, which is caused by small airway disease (bronchiolitis) and alveolar destruction (emphysema) [1]. Patients primarily suffering from severe emphysema are often… read more here.
