Air pollution and health
TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline the history of air pollution in the UK, describe the types of pollutant now in the atmosphere, and discuss the relation between air pollution and health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diaphragm strength in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
TL;DR: The ability of the diaphragm to generate transdiaphragmatic, and particularly a negative intrathoracic, pressure is reduced in COPD and these changes are exaggerated with acute-on-chronic hyperinflation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of respiratory muscle strength.
TL;DR: In this editorial the current techniques to assess respiratory muscle strength are reviewed and the chest physician is advised to initiate and to be able to interpret simple tests of respiratory muscle function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fall in vital capacity with posture
S.M. Allen,B. Hunt,Malcolm Green +2 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that delta FVC greater than 25%associated with normal or restrictive lung function or greater than 35% associated with airways obstruction should be an indication for further study of diaphragm function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Diaphragm Weakness
TL;DR: Thirty patients with breathlessness and diaphragm weakness were studied by measuring transdiaphragmatic pressures during maximal inspirations to total lung capacity, maximal static inspiratory efforts from residual volume, and maximal sniffs from functional residual capacity; the diagnosis and quantification of diaphagm weakness requires the measurement of transdiAPHragmatic pressure.
