Researchers identify ‘violent’ processes that cause wheezing in the lungs – Medical Xpress

A team of engineers has identified the ‘violent’ physical processes at work inside the lungs which cause wheezing, a condition which affects up to a quarter of the world’s population.
The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, used modelling and high-speed video techniques to show what causes wheezing and how to predict it. Their results could be used as the basis of a cheaper and faster diagnostic for lung disease that requires just a stethoscope and a microphone.
Improved understanding…
