Abstract Background and Objective The effect of serial incremental concentrations of
methacholine is only slightly cumulative when assessed by spirometry. This limited …

Background Studies evaluating the impacts of parity on LFD of healthy females presented
controversial conclusions. Aim To compare the LFD of healthy females broken down …

Introduction The efficacy of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) for asthma control remains
