Duration impacts variability measured by the forced oscillation in healthy, asthma & COPD subjects
FOT measurements are useful for measuring lung function of people who have difficulty performing spirometry, since it requires tidal breathing without need for any forced manoeuvres.

Effect of tralokinumab on eosinophilic airway inflammation in uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma
Researchers aimed to evaluate whether tralokinumab would have an effect on airway eosinophilic infiltration, blood and sputum eosinophil concentrations, eosinophil activation, and airway remodelling.

Reduced lung elastic recoil and fixed airflow obstruction in asthma
Fixed airflow obstruction (FAO) in asthma occurs despite optimal inhaled treatment and no smoking history, and remains a significant problem, particularly with increasing age and duration of asthma.

Interdevice agreement in respiratory resistance values by oscillometry in asthmatic children
Spirometry remains the gold standard for the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with asthma. However, oscillometry, an effort-independent technique, has been shown to be responsive to change.

Measuring the effects of bronchial thermoplasty (BT) using oscillometry (AOS)
Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is helping patients with severe asthma, but no improvement captured by spirometry. This study evaluates the response to BT using oscillometry.

The effect of the extrafine formulation of BDP/FF inhaler on Mexican asthmatic patients
This retrospective analysis reinforces the concept of maintenance treatment focused on inflammation background of the disease and the need of bronchodilator effect also in Mexican population.
