COMBINED FORCED OSCILLATION AND FORCED EXPIRATION MEASUREMENTS IN MICE FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF AIRWAY HYPERRESPONSIVENESS

Combined forced oscillation and forced expiration measurements in mice for the assessment of airway hyperresponsiveness

Abstract Background Pulmonary function has been reported in mice using negative pressure-driven forced expiratory manoeuvres (NPFE) and the forced oscillation technique (FOT).However, both techniques have always been studied using separate cohorts of animals or systems.The objective of this study was to obtain NPFE and FOT measurements at baseline

Begonia fimbristipula subsp. siamensis (sect. Diploclinium, Begoniaceae), a new taxon of the megadiverse genus endemic to Thailand

The genus Begonia has not only been recognised to be one of the mega-diverse plant genera but also as one found to comprise many undiscovered species.In particular, the increase of extensive field surveys in tropical regions of Southeast Asia has added to the discovery of many new species that are often found only in a few localities.In this study,
