children aged 2-6 years represent a real challenge in pulmonary function assessment as they cannot be sedated and find it difficult to cooperate with all respiratory manoeuvres. In 2007, an ATS and ERS statement on PFT in preschool children summarized the current knowledge on the PFT...

including imaging, pulmonary function test, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing results. We assessed changes in patients’ results for the 6MWT, TUG, CR reps, balance test, and gait speed (Rehab
Pulmonary lung function tests most frequently show reduced diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO), 70–90% of the patients. Lung volumes are impaired in a majority of patients with decreased vital capacity and air trapping (elevated residual volume). Total lung capacity is with...

Between January 2002 and July 2004, 28 consecutive patients with SSc-ILD, identified on HRCT as having associated respiratory symptoms and/or reduced performance on a pulmonary function test (PFT) underwent an open lung biopsy and were followed for at least 3 years. Twelve subjects involved in ...

Our study aimed to characterize the morphological alterations of the small airways in patients with LAM with different severities compared to controls, and their association with variables at the pulmonary function test and with LAM Histological Score (LHS). Methods Thirty-nine women with LAM who ...
Lung function test was consistent with a restrictive lung disease (FVC 3.33 L (73%), FEV1 2.49 L (72%), FEV1/FVC 75% and decreased in diffusion capacity (DLCO 17.81 ml/min/mmHg). Ultrasound of the abdomen confirmed a 19 cm hepatomegaly, with normal liver texture and no evidence of ...
Pulmonary function tests Reduced baseline mechanical function measured by spirometry, plethysmography, and gas exchange abnormalities on the diffusion lung capacity of carbon monoxide test (DLCO) has elucidated as predictive factors for RP [16, 54]. The lung is not a uniform organ, and patients wit...
