Background Measurement of FENO might substitute bronchial provocation for diagnosing
asthma. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of FENO measurement compared …

Classically, the development of emphysema in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is
believed to involve inflammation induced by cigarette smoke and leukocyte activation …

Pulmonary function measures are heritable traits that predict morbidity and mortality and
define chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We tested genome-wide association …

Heat waves and Covid-19 overlap, as this pandemic continues into summer 2021. Using a
narrative review, we identified overlapping risk groups and propose coping strategies. The …

Reduced lung function predicts mortality and is key to the diagnosis of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD). In a genome-wide association study in 400,102 individuals of …

Asthma, hay fever (or allergic rhinitis) and eczema (or atopic dermatitis) often coexist in the
same individuals, partly because of a shared genetic origin,,. To identify shared risk variants …

Pulmonary function measures reflect respiratory health and are used in the diagnosis of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We tested genome-wide association with forced …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by reduced lung function
and is the third leading cause of death globally. Through genome-wide association …

Lung-function impairment underlies chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and
predicts mortality. In the largest multi-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of …

Forced vital capacity (FVC), a spirometric measure of pulmonary function, reflects lung
volume and is used to diagnose and monitor lung diseases. We performed genome-wide …
