ABNORMALITIES of regulation of ventilation in chronic obstructive lung disease are widely recognized. 1–7 These abnormalities have, as their main characteristic, a decreased responsiveness to the ...

A spirometrically-defined restrictive ventilatory defect is a common finding when performing spirometry. A population-based study was conducted in Spain. The response rate from 11 participating ...

New method can predict risks of cardiovascular disease, mortality in sleep apnea patients. Mount Sinai researchers have developed a novel, automated measure of analyzing sleep studies to determine the ...

During the past year a new ventilatory assister that appears to offer more effective aeration in patients with severe obstructive airway disease has become available. This report summarizes our ...

Though the approach used to classify chronic respiratory diseases is changing to a treatable-traits (TT) approach, data regarding very elderly patients is lacking. The objectives of this study were to ...

Non‑invasive ventilation is used to treat persistent hypercapnic ventilatory failure and acidosis during an exacerbation of COPD, when a person's arterial blood gases (especially the pH and carbon ...

MONDAY, Sept. 18, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Automated ventilatory burden, which represents the proportion of overnight breaths with <50 percent normalized amplitude, can measure the severity of ...

Researchers have found that people with obstructive sleep apnea have an increased cardiovascular risk due to reduced blood oxygen levels, largely explained by interrupted breathing. Obstructive sleep ...

Researchers at Mount Sinai have pioneered an innovative automated method for assessing sleep studies to gauge both the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a prevalent chronic sleep condition ...

Mount Sinai researchers have developed a novel, automated measure of analyzing sleep studies to determine the severity and risk of mortality in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, a chronic sleep ...
