diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide.
Severity of COPD is clinically assessed by lung function tests and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide.
Heliox has a lower density and higher diffusion capacity compared to oxygen-in-air.
Among PFTs, diffusion capacity (DLCO) is the one most frequently compromised at disease onset.
diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide adjusted for haemoglobin concentration in the blood.
Diagnosis is based on impaired diffusion capacity, reduced compliance of the lung and typical radiological findings.
Lung irradiation also leads to a reduction in lung diffusion capacity (DLCO).
Lung volume and diffusion capacity at rest are usually used to monitor the clinical course.
Presumably, the chronic inflammatory response in IGM results in reduced water diffusion capacity and decreased relative ADC values.
Therefore, the morphological respiratory diffusion capacity of ball pythons (Python regius) was examined following a stereological, hierarchically nested approach.
Main Outcome Measures: Pulmonary vital capacity, diffusion capacity, FIM™ instrument, 6-minute walk, and St. George's Questionnaire.
