Predictors of Peak Expiratory Cough Flow in Individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Dystussia is prevalent in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), leading to a diminished physiologic capacity to effectively defend...
-
Long-term trajectories of peak expiratory flow rate in older men and women show linear decline mainly determined by baseline levels
BackgroundPeak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) predicts mortality and other negative health outcomes. However, little evidence exists on how PEFR changes...

Slowing lung deflation by increasing the expiratory resistance enhances FRC in preterm rabbits
BackgroundAs very preterm infants have surfactant-deficient and highly incompliant lungs, slowing lung deflation during expiration might help...
-
Influence of expiratory flow pulsatility on the effectiveness of a surgical mask
BackgroundExpiratory events, such as coughs, are often pulsatile in nature and result in vortical flow structures that transport expiratory...
