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.

Dynamics of airflow in a short inhalation [PDF]
During a rapid inhalation, such as a sniff, the flow in the airways accelerates and decays quickly. The consequences for flow development and convective trans- port of an inhaled gas were investigated in a subject geometry extending from the nose to the ...

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 ...

A transistor‐type carbon nanotube gas sensor with dual‐mode detection capability has been proposed. By simply adjusting the gate voltage and UV illumination, this sensor enables both real‐time detection and accumulation‐based sensing of toxic gases within a single device, providing a compact and adaptable platform for environmental monitoring ...

Interleukin 4, but not interleukin 5 or eosinophils, is required in a murine model of acute airway hyperreactivity. [PDF]
Reversible airway hyperreactivity underlies the pathophysiology of asthma, yet the precise mediators of the response remain unclear. Human studies have correlated aberrant activation of T helper (Th) 2-like effector systems in the airways with disease. A

The regulation of host defences to infection by the microbiota [PDF]
The skin and mucosal epithelia of humans and other mammals are permanently colonised by large microbial communities (the microbiota). Due to this life-long association with the microbiota, these microbes have an extensive influence over the physiology of

Beta‐glucans have gained significant attention as an immunomodulatory biomaterial with cell‐targeting capabilities. This review comprehensively outlines the design and fabrication methods for producing beta‐glucan particles at both the micro and nanoscale and their applications in immune cell targeting, immunomodulation, and drug delivery ...

The effect on respiratory mechanics when using a Jackson surgical table in the prone position during spinal surgery [PDF]
BackgroundRespiratory dynamics may be monitored and evaluated indirectly by measuring the peak inspiratory pressure and plateau pressure. In this study, the respiratory dynamics of patients undergoing spinal surgery using a Jackson surgical table were ...
