measures using a traditional Wright's scale PEF metre have been compared with those measured by FVC using a pneumotachograph in adults. The traditional Wright's scale may give rise to misleading results in children, and as such universal adoption of the EU scale has been advocated in the UK....
Patients' peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR) may help clinicians select an inhaler device. Objective To determine the proportion of patients with asthma who could generate correct PIFRs at different inhaler resistance settings. Methods During a UK asthma review service, patients' PIFR was checked at...
Meg Wheatley and Deborah Frieze are documenting how communities are leading this ‘Walk Out, Walk On’ shift – from tier-upon-tier ‘parent-child’ globalising dynamics, to peer-to-peer ‘agentic adults’ trans-localisation collaborations.” ~ David Holmgren “Resistance, Wolin and Saul agreed,...
Any body who doubts this should stop a minute and contemplate just how quietly ten million or more young adults have moved back in with their parents and how many more have continued to double up roommate style rather than getting places of their own after finishing school. Railroads will be ...
But as you zoom in you can see the variances. The Fitbit Sense 2 is all over creation, whereas the Garmin Epix is the straightest. I never left the middle of the rail tracks, so this should be precisely straight, within 1 meter. The Suunto 9 Peak Pro was sorta in the middle of ...
One of the questions that comes up in the face of Mr. Money Mustache’s unrelenting optimism about the state of the world is, “Will human prosperity continue even as we run out of the cheap fossil fuel energy that has powered us for the last 200 years o

Previous studies have found that as many as a third of Americans are lonely, and that 18% of UK adults felt lonely “always” or “often” (pdf). The latest research, which collated studies in two meta-analyses, connected the issue of isolation to health and specifically to premature death...
A simple explanation for this is that we are consuming more service goods because most families have two adults working. This leads to more business for house cleaners, landscapers, more dinners at restaurants and more money to go on vacations to hotels or bed and breakfasts. So more of the...
Table 3. Correlation between handgrip strength with peak inspiratory flow rate for Accuhaler and Turbuhaler. The equation for predicting Accuhaler PIFR, derived from the linear regression model, predicted Accuhaler PIFR (L/min) = −30.340 + (0.274 × hand grip strength) − (0.206 × age)...
