Association of IGF-1 and IGF-2 genotypes with respiratory muscle strength in individuals with COPD: a cross-sectional study

Medwave; 24 (3), 2024
INTRODUCTION: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a systemic disease characterized not only by respiratory symptoms but also by physical deconditioning and muscle weakness. One prominent manifestation of this disease is the decline in respiratory muscle strength. Previous studies have linked the gen...

Screening tool for restrictive and obstructive ventilatory abnormalities in a population-based survey

Rev. invest. clín; 72 (6), 2020
Abstract Background: A 6 s spirometry with an inexpensive pocket spirometer efficiently selects individuals for a diagnostic-quality spirometry for airflow limitation, but could also be useful to identify individuals with a restrictive pattern. Objectives: We evaluated an inexpensive simplified spirome...
