Airway Resistance and Lung Compliance

Lung compliance may be defined as the volume change per unit pressure change.8 It is an expression of the elastic-like properties of the lung if it is measured at points on a pressure-volume curve at which air is not moving into or out of the lung. These points of no air-flow occur near the end of inspiration and again near the end of expiration. Compliance does not include air resistive change...

Resistance over compliance describes right ventricular afterload better than resistance-compliance time: a friendly amendment

In their paper on combined preand post-capillary pulmonary hypertension, Assad et al. say that ‘‘the resistance-compliance (RC) time has emerged as a measure of pulmonary vascular physiology that integrates the mean and pulsatile afterload of the right ventricle.’’ They discuss reports in the literature of changes in RC time in a variety of conditions. The findings in their study show that ‘‘th...

Legal & ethical compliance when sharing biospecimen

When obtaining samples from biobanks, resolving ethical and legal concerns is a time-consuming task where researchers need to balance the needs of privacy, trust and scientific progress. The Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources Research Infrastructure-Large Prospective Cohorts project has resolved numerous such issues through intense communication between involved researchers and experts in it...
