Airway obstruction due to a laryngeal polyp following insertion of a laryngeal mask airway

open access: yesJA Clinical Reports, 2018
Background Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion contributes to airway protection in patients with a laryngeal tumor around the glottis. There has been no report of LMA insertion itself exacerbating airway obstruction in such patients.

Effect of Intraoperative Posture on Accurate Diagnostic Rate of Intraoperative Nerve Monitoring During Esophagectomy

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Adequate contact between the intubation tube and the vocal cord muscles is crucial for effective intraoperative nerve monitoring use during esophagectomy. Additionally, intraoperative posture significantly affects diagnostic outcomes and should be carefully considered.

Concurrent Negative-Pressure Pulmonary Edema (NPPE) and Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) after Upper Airway Obstruction

open access: yesCase Reports in Cardiology, 2019
Upper airway obstruction is a potentially life-threatening emergency often encountered in the acute care, perioperative, and critical care settings. One important complication of acute obstruction is negative-pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE).

Lung‐Penetrating Biomimetic Extracellular Vesicle Spherical Nucleic Acids for Pulmonary Fibrosis Therapy Through ROS Scavenging and Anti‐Inflammatory Effects

open access: yesAggregate, EarlyView.
This work describes a biomimetic extracellular vesicle‐spherical nucleic acid (BEV‐SNA) platform for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) therapy. BEV‐SNA is composed of mechanically extruded BEVs from primary MSCs and cholesterol‐modified ssDNA that are assembled through hydrophobic interactions.

Evaluation of human obstructive sleep apnea using computational fluid dynamics. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity might be correlated to the flow characteristics of the upper airways. We aimed to investigate the severity of OSA based on 3D models constructed from CT scans coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD ...

Analysis of the Navigation of Magnetic Microrobots through Cerebral Bifurcations for Targeted Drug Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The motion of magnetic microrobots through cerebral bifurcations depends on various parameters such as the microrobots size, the blood velocity, and the imposed magnetic field gradients, among others. This work presents an in‐depth analysis of the effects of these parameters and equations predicting the required magnetic gradients based on the ...

Prenatal detection of congenital high airway obstruction syndrome with encephalocele

open access: yesIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2016
Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS) causes secondary morphological changes which can be detected on ultrasound. Here we report a case of congenital high airway obstruction with an occipital encephalocele detected at 23 weeks of gestation.
