Mashup Score: 0Individuals with pre-bronchodilator airflow obstruction at significant risk for COPD - 2 year(s) ago
Individuals with pre-bronchodilator airflow obstruction appeared to be at significant risk for future COPD development, researchers reported in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. “One obvious question is whether individuals with [variable obstruction] actually have pre-COPD with early airway pathophysiologic changes and whether these changes eventually progress

Mashup Score: 2Reversible Airflow Obstruction Predicts Future COPD Development in the SPIROMICS Cohort - PubMed - 2 year(s) ago
Significant risk for future COPD development exists for those with pre- but not post-bronchodilator airflow obstruction. These findings support consideration of expanding spirometric criteria defining COPD to include pre-BD obstruction.

Mashup Score: 0Oscillometry and Asthma Control in Patients With and Without Fixed Airflow Obstruction - 2 year(s) ago
Asthma is defined by the presence of reversible airflow limitation, yet persistently abnormal spirometry may develop despite appropriate asthma treatment. Fixed airflow obstruction (FAO) describes abnormal postbronchodilator spirometry that is associated with greater symptom burden and disease severity. Respiratory oscillometry measures the mechanics of the entire airway tree, including…

This novel and validated risk-prediction model could identify adults aged in their 40s at high 10-year COPD-risk in the general population with potential to facilitate active monitoring/intervention in predicted ‘COPD cases’ at a much earlier age.

Mashup Score: 3Minimising exposure to respiratory droplets, ‘jet riders’ and aerosols in air-conditioned hospital rooms by a ‘Shield-and-Sink’ strategy - 3 year(s) ago
Objectives In COVID-19, transfer of respiratory materials transmits disease and drives the pandemic but the interplay of droplet and aerosol physics, physiology and environment is not fully understood. To advance understanding of disease transmission mechanisms and to find novel exposure minimisation strategies, we studied cough-driven material transport modes and the efficacy of control…

Mashup Score: 0Depressive symptoms and over-perception of airflow obstruction in older adults with asthma - PubMed - 3 year(s) ago
Depressive symptoms were associated with greater perceived impairment from asthma, but not pulmonary function. Over-perception of asthma symptoms may play a key role in the relationship between depression and asthma outcomes in older adults.

Mashup Score: 2
As society prepares to reopen indoor spaces and ease back into some sense of normalcy during the COVID-19 pandemic, a team of researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is launching a study of the risk of airborne transmission of viruses within buildings and how to mitigate those risks.
