Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most severe respiratory diseases and can be diagnosed by several clinical modalities such as spirometric measures, lung function ...

- Adding the lateral flow urine lipoarabinomannan test (LF-LAM) identified additional pulmonary tuberculosis cases in children with HIV. - Parallel testing may lead to more misdiagnoses of children ...

The pulmonary function tests were performed using a computerized spirometer (“Medicaid Spirometer”). This automatically corrected all gas volumes to body temperature and pressure, saturated (BTPS), ...

What Are Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs)? Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are lung tests. They show how well your lungs work. They’re noninvasive, which means that the doctor doesn’t cut you ...

Plethysmography is a pulmonary function test that measures the health and function of the lungs by determining how much air the lungs can hold. It may be used along with other lung tests to help in ...

Methods Cohorts of CHIV (ART initiated at median 4.0 months), CHEU and HIV-unexposed children (CHU) prospectively performed pulmonary function testing (PFT) consisting of spirometry, plethysmography ...

Spirometry, a type of pulmonary function test (PFT), is a non-invasive procedure that can provide information about how well your lungs are working. It measures how much and how quickly the air you ...

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an insidiously starting disease. Early detection has high priority because of the possibility of early implementation of smoking cessation ...

There are tradeoffs with changing such an important algorithm, but overall the new study “provides good support for the change from race-adjusted to global standards for pulmonary function test ...

Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly, paid a visit to a new Respiratory Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) Lab in the Integrated Care Hub, Bray on Friday.
