TL;DR: As forced oscillation technique is automatic and can measure multiple breaths over long periods, it is suitable for monitoring expiratory flow limitation continuously and identifying patients′ breathing close to the onset of expiratories flow limitation, where intermittent sampling may be unrepresentative.

TL;DR: In older patients with COPD and comorbidities, remote monitoring of lung function by forced oscillation technique and cardiac parameters did not change TTFH and EQ‐5D and an exploratory analysis found telemedicine was associated with fewer repeat hospitalizations.

TL;DR: Bronchodilator drugs produce variable improvements in forced expiratory volume in 1 s, but larger changes in end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which were suggested to be related to the presence of expiratories flow limitation (EFL) at rest, are tested.

TL;DR: The results suggest that FOT and the measurement of CX5 could be a useful tool for the non-invasive measurement of lung volume recruitment/derecruitment.

TL;DR: This paper presents a new approach based on a custom-made low-cost self-mixing laser interferometer able to directly measure vibrations on human skin with very high accuracy and temporal resolution and develops a novel signal processing algorithm to estimate the motion of the subject's skin also in the presence of signal fading.
