Clinical Applications of Pediatric Pulmonary Function Testing: Lung Function in Recurrent Wheezing and Asthma
Pulmonary function testing remains the gold standard for the diagnosis and management of wheezing disorders in older children and adults. Although wheezing disorders are among the most common clinical problems in pediatrics, most young children and toddlers cannot perform most of the currently clinically available pulmonary function tests. In this article, we review the different types of pulmonary function tests available and discuss the applicability and utility in the different age groups with specific reference to suitability in the diagnosis and management of wheezing disorders.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/90475/1/ped-2E2010-2E0060.pd
Requirements for the internal layout of wooden house from the point of view of ergonomics changes
A basic need of every responsible man is to provide for own housing with the continual increase of world population energy consumption is growing continually as well and in parallel there is an increase in CO2 emissions. Buildings during their lifetime use approximately 40% of energy, while its operation concerning heating and cooling counts for 60-70% of this consumed energy. The most suitable solution means building houses with low energy demands which do not harm the environment Therefore the preferred solution has become to build houses with low-energy houses not burdening the environment. The aim of this chapter is to present the basic aspects and advantages of wood buildings as well as their requirements for the internal layout from the point of ergonomics changes. We can state that based on findings and research, that the current generation of people has significantly higher height and weight proportions.
