Influence of the lung microbiome on antibiotic susceptibility of cystic fibrosis pathogens [PDF]
The lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are colonised by a microbial community comprised of pathogenic species, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, and microorganisms that are typically not associated with worse clinical ...

A Magnetically Transformable Twisting Millirobot for Cargo Delivery at Low Reynolds Number
Herein, a soft millirobot, TwistBot, that transforms from a flat shape to a helical shape to propel in fluids at low Reynolds number is reported. Its geometry is optimized by numerical simulation and validated by experiments to effectively propel and deliver solid cargos.

Defining of the Relationship Between Lung Volumes, Airway Resistance and the Apnea-Hypopnea Index
Objective: Obstructive Sleep Apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by recurrent complete or partial narrowing of the upper respiratory tract during sleep and frequently a decrease in blood oxygen saturation. Upper respiratory tract gap is determined by

The resistance of the airways to the airflow through them depends on the radius, length and number of the airways. It has long been apparent (1, 2) that the bronchi are distended as well as lengthened in the inspiratory position of the lung.

ABSTRACT Natural History Studies can help inform clinician and caregiver expectations, form the basis of management guidelines, and provide a comparator for therapeutic intervention. In rare conditions, where collection of prospective longitudinal data is untimely and impractical, quasi‐natural history data—from multiple individuals of different ages ...

Olfactory evaluation in obstructive sleep apnoea patients [PDF]
The sense of smell has a high impact on the quality of life. The aim of the present study was to investigate olfactory dysfunction in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) and correlate the severity of disease with olfactory dysfunction.
