DOI: 10.4103/atm.atm_165_22
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Waterpipe smoking is increasing in popularity, yet the evidence implicating waterpipe smoking in lung disease is limited. We hypothesized that impulse oscillometry (IOS) would detect airway abnormalities in waterpipe smokers (WPS). METHODS: We studied… read more here.
