    Body plethysmography – additional information on exercise capacity in patients with congenital heart disease?

    Nowadays, patients with a congenital heart defect (CHD) reach not only adolescence but also adulthood [ 1 ] and, therefore, research is facing “new” questions. Survival is no longer the main goal; patients’ quality of life, exercise capacity and …

    Neonatal body composition by air displacement plethysmography in healthy term singletons: a systematic review

    There is strong evidence that fetal and early postnatal environment play an important role in fetal programming and in determining the risk for disease in adulthood such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease [ 1 , 2 ]. Proposed key …

    A Comparison of the Effects of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy on Body Mass Composition as Measured by Air Displacement Plethysmography

    Obesity is a growing epidemic in the USA and is associated with numerous medical conditions which impart high rates of morbidity, mortality, and high health care costs. Bariatric surgery has been shown to be the most effective and sustainable …

    Significant Differences in Body Plethysmography Measurements Between Hospitals in Patients Referred for Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction

    During the evaluation of potential bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) candidates in our hospital, we frequently observe patients with a lower residual volume (RV) value compared to the value measured in their referring hospital, although …

    Validity of air-displacement plethysmography in the assessment of body composition changes in a 16-month weight loss program

    It has been widely documented and reported the rise in obesity rates across the globe in all ethnicities and genders [ 1 , 2 ]. The link between obesity and its related co-morbidities and death is the concomitant increase in fat mass observed as …

    Body fat measurement by bioelectrical impedance and air displacement plethysmography: a cross-validation study to design bioelectrical impedance equations in Mexican adults

    The importance of measuring body composition has increased, due to the need to evaluate changes in nutritional status, which can affect body reserves differentially. Subjects can gain or lose body fat, fat-free mass, bone mineral mass or cellular …

    Indacaterol and glycopyrronium versus indacaterol on body plethysmography measurements in COPD—a randomised controlled study

    Static lung hyperinflation is one of the significant challenges in patients with COPD. It is characterised by a decrease in the elastic recoil of the lungs with a premature closure of small airways leading to air trapping. The impact on lung …

    Whole body composition analysis by the BodPod air-displacement plethysmography method in children with phenylketonuria shows a higher body fat percentage

    Phenylketonuria (PKU, OMIM 261600) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of phenylalanine (PHE) metabolism, caused by a deficient function of phenylalanine hydroxylase (EC 1.14.16.1), which converts PHE to tyrosine (Walter et al 2006 ). Untreated …

    Body Fat in Children Measured by DXA, Air-Displacement Plethysmography, TBW and Multicomponent Models: A Systematic Review

    To conduct a systematic literature review to identify studies that used indirect methods to assess body fat in healthy children. A systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. We conducted a search in the MEDLINE/PubMed …

    Theoretical and practical considerations in the application of whole body plethysmography to sleep research

    The sleep-wake state has a profound influence on many, perhaps most, aspects of normal physiology and is strongly implicated in the mediation (or remediation) of impaired health and performance. Many sleep disorders stem from abnormal respiratory …

    Assessment of airway hyperreactivity: comparison of forced spirometry and body plethysmography for methacholine challenge tests

    Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is defined as an excessive response to an aerosolized drug provocation that elicits little or no response in a normal person. This feature, at some point in time, appears to distinguish most patients with asthma …

    Comparison of air displacement plethysmography to hydrostatic weighing for estimating total body density in children

    Recent results obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) found increases in overweight and obesity not only in adults but also in children [ 1 ]. An alarming 31% of children aged 6 to 19 years old were found to be …

    Usefulness of age-adjusted equations to estimate body fat with air displacement plethysmography in male adolescent athletes

    This study was designed to examine the accuracy of air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) using Lohman’s age-adjusted equations (Leq) and Siri’s equation (Seq) in estimating body fat (BF) in male adolescent athletes, with the four-compartment (4C) …

    Updated reference values for static lung volumes from a healthy population in Austria

    Respiratory disease conditions are largely based on measurement of lung physiology. A disease can be described as a set of characteristics by which they differ from the norm in such a way that they are biologically disadvantaged [ 1 ]. Reference …

    Having breakfast has no clinically relevant effect on bioelectrical impedance measurements in healthy adults

    Several methods are available to estimate body composition, including dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), computed tomography (CT), air displacement plethysmography (ADP), and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). BIA is a non-invasive and …

    A century of exercise physiology: concepts that ignited the study of human thermoregulation. Part 2: physiological measurements

    In this, the second of four historical reviews on human thermoregulation during exercise, we examine the research techniques developed by our forebears. We emphasise calorimetry and thermometry, and measurements of vasomotor and sudomotor …

    The total-breath method yields higher values of DLCO and TLC than the conventional method

    The 2017 ERS/ATS standards for single-breath carbon monoxide uptake in the lung proposed the “total-breath method” for the single-breath maneuver. We found that this method yielded higher values of DLCO and TLC than the conventional method.
