[Walk-in spirometry pilot project for discovering of early chronic obstructive pulmonary disease]
17 Oct 2009 
INTRODUCTION: In Denmark, 10% of the health budget is spent on treating chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and the economic burden from COPD looks more than likely to grow in the near future. With this in mind we initiated a pilot project with ... Read more...
30 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: National guidelines advice self measurement of peak flow variability as a diagnostic tool for asthma. However, its actual value for this purpose remains controversial. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 219 persons were recruited by 14 general ... Read more...
29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Recent exposure to air pollution has a decremental effect on pulmonary function. This short-term effect has only been studied for up to a few days postexposure. Our objective was to analyze the effect of air pollution on spirometric ... Read more...
