Ventilation inhomogeneities assessed by the multibreath washout (MBW) technique.
Intrapulmonary gas distribution and mixing is an important functional property of the lungs and can be characterised by the multibreath washout (MBW) technique. By computing indices from the entire washout curve, ventilation inhomogeneities can be characterised. Developed in the late 1980s for use in children, MBW measurements are taken during tidal breathing and have been used in infants as we...
متن کاملEarly detection of cystic fibrosis lung disease: multiple-breath washout versus raised volume tests.
BACKGROUND Lung clearance index (LCI), a measure of ventilation inhomogeneity derived from the multiple-breath inert gas washout (MBW) technique, has been shown to detect abnormal lung function more readily than spirometry in preschool children with cystic fibrosis, but whether this holds true during infancy is unknown. OBJECTIVES To compare the extent to which parameters derived from the MBW...

متن کاملCommunity Indices, Parameters, and Comparisons
Understanding assemblages of fishes and how their numbers and compositions change over time and space has long been a fundamental interest of aquatic ecologists and has increasingly become recognized as an important component of fisheries science and management. Whereas much of traditional fisheries management may have focused on single-species approaches, targeting sport or commercial fishes, ...
متن کاملBasic Parameters and Some Precision Tests of the Standard Model(*)
We present a review of the masses (except for neutrino masses) and interaction strengths in the standard model. Special emphasis is put on quantities that have been determined with significantly improved precision in the last few years. In particular, a number of determinations of αs and the electromagnetic coupling on the Z, αQED(M 2 Z) are presented and their implications for the Higgs mass d...
