LUNG FUNCTION TESTS Andrew Davies MA PhD DSc, Carl Moores BA BSc MB ChB FRCA, in The Respiratory System (Second Edition), 2010 Chapter objectives After studying this chapter you should be able to: 1. Appreciate that lung function tests quantify disability of function; diagnosis is usually on ...
ECM proteins, growth factors, cytokines, and other factors that can act in an autocrine or paracrine manner to induce cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, or other alterations in cell function (Figure 63-6) that lead to marked changes in the size, structure, and function of the lung...
The prevalence of lung function impairment ranged from 6.8% for peak expiratory flow to 11.3% for FVC. When stratified by breastfed status, we observed associations of PM1 and PM2.5 exposure with the prevalence of impaired percent of FVC and percent of FEV1 in children. These linear trend ...
of variable (percent. mito) were estimated and regressed out using a GLM (ScaleData function, model.use = ” linear”), and the scaled and centered residuals were used for dimensionality reduction and clustering. Before the clustering, we first applied Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) im...
In this study, we used a correlative set-up that combines X-ray based lung function (XLF) with microCT and whole body plethysmography (WBP) for a comprehensive functional and structural evaluation of lung fibrosis (LF) as well as for monitoring response to orally administered Nintedanib in the...
Body weight as a function of gestation was more variable than anticipated. Newborn weights were comparable to the data of Sirianni et al. (10). Male-female variations may have accounted for weight variance (5). Although the plots of crown-rump lengths and body weights against gestational age...

LU 4.3. Recipients alive with a functioning lung graft on June 30 of the year, by age at transplant Recipients are assumed to be alive with function unless a death or graft failure is recorded. A recipient may experience a graft failure and be removed from the cohort, undergo retransplant,...
