The combined actions of elastin, collagen and surface tension, along with a supporting network of muscles and connective tissues, create lung capacity. This is the total volume of air in the lungs ...

Background Current guidelines for the evaluation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) do not recommend screening for pulmonary hypertension (PH), despite the high prevalence and impact on ...

A study has shown how lung capacity evolves from childhood to old age. Until now, it was thought that lung function increased until it peaked at around 20-25 years of age, after which it stabilized.

MILAN -- Research presented at this year's annual European Respiratory Society congress included early successes in transplanting a patient's own lung cells to ease chronic obstructive pulmonary ...

Extending the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in premature infants by two weeks significantly increases lung volume and lung diffusion capacity, according to a new study.

What are pulmonary function tests? Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are tests of lung function. They are intended to evaluate and monitor chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is ...
