< jats: p> A controlled clinical trial was designed to test the relative effectiveness of two
prophylactic antibacterial regimens administered to premature infants in the first 5 days of life. …

Ventilatory muscles can become fatigued, and this can contribute to respiratory failure. Patients
with chronic obstructive lung disease may benefit from improving their ventilatory muscle …

A noninvasive, radionuclide imaging technique for measuring the rate of mucus clearance in
the trachea (R T ), was used to study gravitational effects on mucus clearance in 13 patients …

Impaired oxygen supply and deteriorating health, in cystic fibrosis patients, correlates with
abnormal changes in the fatty acid composition of blood lipids. As the proportion of oleates …

The pressure-volume behavior of the lung was studied in 24 patients with cystic fibrosis.
Isovolume flow-pressure relationships were measured in 7 of these patients, and a modification …

The effect of supplementing nutrient substrate with various combinations of concentrations of
oleic and linoleic acids on the growth of 11 strains of Staphylococcus aureus was assessed…

In 126 ventilatory studies in 80 patients with cystic fibrosis, the maximal midexpiratory flow
was the most sensitive index of airway obstruction. Lung volumes were more accurately …

To determine airway resistance and degree of obstruction in cystic fibrosis, the authors
measured vital capacity, maximum midexpiratory flow rate, diffusing capacity, and hypoxemia. …

Mist tent therapy has become a part of the standard treatment for the patient with cystic
fibrosis; 3 the primary aim is to deliver water to the peripheral airway, where it will liquefy the …

We investigated the airway's response to exercise in cystic fibrosis (CF). Due to the reported
high incidence of allergy in CF we tried to demonstrate the well documented post‐exercise …
