Abstract: BACKGROUND Smokers without airflow obstruction have reduced exercise capacity, but the underlying physiological mechanisms are not fully understood. AIM To compare quadriceps function assessed using non-volitional measures, and ventilatory requirements during exercise, between smokers without… read more here.

DOI: 10.1159/000529031
Abstract: Background: Physiological and prognostic associations of centrilobular emphysema (CLE) and paraseptal emphysema (PSE) in smokers with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been increasingly recognized, but the associations with extrapulmonary abnormalities, such as… read more here.
