A pulmonary function test (PFT), or lung function test, is a non-invasive test that measures how well your lungs work. Several types of PFTs measure various aspects of lung function, including how well you move
Students are then asked to use and apply real data collected from the patient in the video with normal lung function and complete discussion questions in their small groups (6/group). The reimagined PFT laboratory allows first year students the opportunity to apply basic science knowledge to real...

Full size table Fig. 1 Manhattan plots of genome-wide association results for pulmonary function in the following CHARGE meta-analyses:aFEV1European ancestry;bFVC European ancestry;cFEV1/FVC European ancestry;dFEV multiethnic;eFVC multiethnic;fFEV1/FVC multiethnic. Novel loci indicated by magenta. Si...
Replacing the race-specific 2012 GLI reference equations with the GLI Global reference equations was associated with changes in PFT interpretation—representing either a change in the classification of an individual’s pulmonary function as normal, obstructive, restrictive, or nonspecific, or a change in...
The third work for PFT estimation is for SSc patients [8]. The potential of convolution neural networks (CNN) was verified to estimate the complete set of PFTs. Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) values were achieved for DLCO, FEV1, FVC and TLC as 0.71, 0.76, 0.80 and 0.81, ...
Caring for your child’s lungs and breathing capacity starts with a thorough evaluation using the full spectrum of advanced diagnostic technology and techniques at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital’s pediatric pulmonary function testing (PFT) lab. To support an accurate diagnosis, your child may ...
Inflammation develops initially on peripheral airways, then gradually to the complete airway, leading to the accelerated loss of lung function in the lungs of almost all smokers [7]. It was reported that chronic inflammation induced by exposure to cigarette smoked is the leading cause for the ...
Pulmonary function testing (PFT) is a general term applied to a group of tests which evaluate the ability of the lungs to perform their normal functions. The most frequently used PFT is spirometry, which is the technique of measuring and recording lung volumes dynamically. Other, more complicated...
