Evaluation of automated airway morphological quantification for assessing fibrosing lung disease [PDF]
Abnormal airway dilatation, termed traction bronchiectasis, is a typical feature of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Volumetric computed tomography (CT) imaging captures the loss of normal airway tapering in IPF. We postulated that automated quantification of airway abnormalities could provide estimates of IPF disease extent and severity.

Abstract Background An oral appliance (OA) can alleviate upper airway obstruction by pulling the mandible forward during sleep. While a large mandibular advancement with an OA decreases the number of apnea and hypopnea events, long‐term use may cause side effects, such as toothache, stiffness, and pain in the temporomandibular joint.

Early Experiences with Crowdsourcing Airway Annotations in Chest CT [PDF]
Measuring airways in chest computed tomography (CT) images is important for characterizing diseases such as cystic fibrosis, yet very time-consuming to perform manually. Machine learning algorithms offer an alternative, but need large sets of annotated data to perform well.

Abstract Objectives A set of orofacial signs and symptoms completely or partially present in individuals who replace the correct pattern of nasal breathing with an oral or mixed pattern is defined as mouth breathing syndrome (MBS). In a previous report, it was clarified that an incompetent lip seal (ILS) affected the occurrence of MBS among primary ...

Effects of endotracheal tube and laryngeal mask airway on postoperative pulmonary complications in general anesthesia [PDF]
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after general anesthesia surgery significantly affect patient prognosis. However, there′s insufficient evidence to confirm if different airway management tools influence PPCs.

The development of hydrogel‐impregnated robust interlocking nano connector (HiRINC) aims to address stent migration by improving tissue adhesion and reducing mechanical mismatch in self‐expandable metallic stents (SEMSs). The network‐like porous layer of HiRINC enhances adhesion and energy dissipation, demonstrates through ex vivo and in vivo tests ...
