Extending the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in premature infants by two weeks significantly increases lung volume and lung diffusion capacity, according to a new study.

Doctors sometimes recommend lung coils to help someone manage severe emphysema, especially when other treatments have been unsuccessful. Their benefits include increased lung volume, exercise capacity ...

At 12 months, the average improvement from baseline on the 10-point BODE index -- the study's primary endpoint -- was a similar -1.10 (SD 1.44) with LVRS and -0.82 (1.61) with BLVR (P=0.54), Sara ...

Extending the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in premature infants by two weeks significantly increases lung volume and lung diffusion capacity, according to a new study.

Novel CT-based tools and AI models effectively detect lung volume and fibrosis changes in IPF patients treated with ENV-101. ENV-101 treatment resulted in significant increases in lung volume and ...

A study has shown how lung capacity evolves from childhood to old age. Until now, it was thought that lung function increased until it peaked at around 20-25 years of age, after which it stabilized.

Diaphragm position on neonatal bedside chest radiograph appeared to be a poor surrogate for aerated lung volume and expansion, with a weak correlation to CT scan calculations. Bedside chest radiograph ...

Even the healthiest lowlanders aren’t immune: five months at 3,700 meters led to measurable drops in aerobic capacity and heart-lung function, sounding a warning for those planning extended stays in ...
