MicroRNA-200b regulates distal airway development by maintaining epithelial integrity
miR-200b plays a role in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer. We recently reported abnormal expression of miR-200b in the context of human pulmonary hypoplasia in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).

An unsupervised segmentation of vocal breath sounds [PDF]
Breathing is an essential part of human survival, which carries information about a person's physiological and psychological state. Generally, breath boundaries are marked by experts before using for any task. An unsupervised algorithm for breath boundary detection has been proposed for breath sounds recorded at the mouth also referred as vocal breath ...

Comparison of two devices and two breathing patterns for exhaled breath condensate sampling. [PDF]
Analysis of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a noninvasive method to access the epithelial lining fluid of the lungs. Due to standardization problems the method has not entered clinical practice. The aim of the study was to assess the comparability for

Modeling-based determination of physiological parameters of systemic VOCs by breath gas analysis, part 2 [PDF]
In a recent paper we presented a simple two compartment model which describes the influence of inhaled concentrations on exhaled breath concentrations for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with small Henry constants. In this paper we extend this investigation concerning the influence of inhaled concentrations on exhaled breath concentrations for VOCs ...

Patients' perceptions of the potential of breathing training for asthma: a qualitative study. [PDF]
Poor symptom control is common in asthma. Breathing training exercises may be an effective adjunct to medication; it is therefore important to understand facilitators and barriers to uptake of breathing training ...

The spray characteristic of gas-liquid coaxial swirl injector by experiment
Using the laser phase Doppler particle analyzer (PDPA), the spray characteristics of gas-liquid coaxial swirl injector were studied. The Sauter mean diameter (SMD), axial velocity and size data rate were measured under different gas injecting pressure ...
