CLINICAL ASSESSMENT OF RESPIRATORY FUNCTION

Assessment of respiratory muscle function.

In the last two decades, respiratory muscle function in patients has received considerable attention, particularly since ROUSSOS and MACKLEM [1] hypothesized that respiratory muscle fatigue may be responsible for the development of respiratory failure. Although subsequent research has hitherto largely failed to demonstrate the frequent occurrence of respiratory muscle fatigue [2], it is now cle...

Assessment of Voice and Respiratory Function

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Clinical aspects of assessment of endothelial function.

Prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis is an important priority. Measurement of endothelial function has been reported as a useful tool for atherosclerosis research. Endothelium appear to integrate the injury of commonly known risk factors and others, genetic and environmental as yet undiscovered. The assessment of endothelium-dependent vasodilation has emerged as indicator of endothelial ...
