The peak expiratory flow rate was determined using the Wright peak flow meter in normal Ethiopian children and adults residing in Addis Ababa (altitude 2500 m). The sample studied was of 84 boys, 69 girls (4–17 years) and 177 men, 148 women (18–70 years). Normality was determined by...
Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and standing height (Ht) were measured in 522 healthy Greek children aged 7–16 years. The regression equation of PEFR on height in centimetres was PEFR=5.34 Ht-380.8. This demonstrated markedly higher values for PEFR in Greek children compared to previously ...
7). Currently, China’s economic development has entered a new normal, and the energy demand has entered a period of medium and low-speed growth, the rigid energy demand will exist for a long time even and the level of per capita energy consumption will continue to increase and move closer...
ventricular wall (green arrows in Fig.3b1) and a normal pressure to the gray matter-CSF interface (blue arrows in Fig.3b2). These loading conditions represent the cyclic brain deformations caused by a combination of hemodynamic forces and CSF flow59. The lateral ventricles, in particular, unde...
Patients were stratified by atrial fibrillation status (yes or no) and by baseline peak V̇o2 (<60% or ≥60% of age- and sex-adjusted normal values) and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive 40 mg of praliciguat or placebo through a centralized interactive web response system. An upp...
To account for missing values in the primary end point variable (peak V̇o2 at 3 months), a prespecified multiple imputation approach was performed (for details, see eMethods in Supplement 2). In a sensitivity analysis, only patients with complete paired baseline and 3-month follow-up peak...
BMI showed no significant association with severity of infection, ICU admission, or mortality; mortality was recorded to be higher in patients with BMI ≥ 30 as compared to overweight, normal weight, and under-weight patients but did not show statistical significance. Non-health care workers (nHC...
The intra-class correlation (r = 0.65) indicated the significant relation ship between the LT and the FT, as well as between individual V02 peak values in the two test trials. Moreover, the Bland and Altman method showed the agreement between the individual V02 peak values assessed ...
Participants The study included men and women aged ≥40 years, di- agnosed with moderate, severe, or very severe COPD, i.e. airflow limitation with post-bronchodilator forced ex- piratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) < 80% of predicted normal and FEV1/forced vital capacity < 0.70 at time of...
