Asthma
Research on asthma published by scientists at Institute of Biology
April 11th, 2007
Research findings, "Detection of changes in respiratory mechanics due to increasing degrees of airway obstruction in asthma by the forced oscillation technique," are discussed in a new report. According to recent research from Brazil, "Forced expiratory airflows and volumes are often used to assess the airway obstruction in asthmatics. However, forced maneuvers may change bronchial tone and modify airway patency." "The aim of this study was to determine whether the Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT), which does not require forced manoeuvres, may be useful to describe the changes in respiratory mechanics in progressive asthma. This study involved 25 healthy and 84...
