Myasthenia gravis may affect respiratory muscles. To differentiate between other neuromuscular diseases, evaluation for muscle fatigability can be demonstrated by cardiopulmonary exercise testing and the maximal voluntary ventilation test. https://t.co/cZOlnlGNQ6

Dysfunctional breathing diagnosed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing in ‘long COVID’ patients with persistent dyspnoea https://t.co/DI6uFYOney

Wow wow. Lung function tests as patient done at @UHMBT by the utterly fantastic @MikeGaddas. The best explanation ever. I've learned things that I can do better with my own patients as well as a peerless patient experience . @aaroncumminsNHS please send official thumbs up.

The minute ventilation/CO2 production ratio is useful when evaluating exercise responses. This review describes the physiology of the minute ventilation/CO2 production ratio and the ratio response in endurance athletes, asthma and obesity. https://t.co/0Hflf5s6on

[João Silva @joaodsilv]

@MBResp something to think about for the future? 🤔

A team led by Dr Will Man, in partnership with @ArtiQHealth, has been awarded funding from #NHSAILab. This funding will be used to help improve the diagnosis of lung diseases in primary care using #ArtificialIntelligence: https://t.co/mW9fGwuYlf
