The combination of these functional parameters improves diagnostic capabilities for detecting fibrotic changes. The FOT method provides clinically important information in patients with ILD and restrictive impairment.<\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_author\">Author: G V Nekludova<\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_date\">Posted: May 10, 2026, 10:00 am<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item\">\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/42108175\/?utm_source=SimplePie&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=None&amp;utm_content=1NksTF9hJayyugtW9q59IBUuLiR0DT9ivBnm6qqSqqa57-BsN2&amp;fc=None&amp;ff=20260521155352&amp;v=2.20.0\" target='_blank'>Interpretation of standard technical specifications for methacholine chloride (Methacholine) bronchial challenge test (2023)<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"hungryfeed_item_description\">Bronchial challenge tests are important clinical examinations for detecting airway hyperresponsiveness, with methacholine being a commonly used provocative agent.
