Towards the modeling of mucus draining from human lung: role of airways deformation on air-mucus interaction [PDF]

, 2015
Chest physiotherapy is an empirical technique used to help secretions to get out of the lung whenever stagnation occurs. Although commonly used, little is known about the inner mechanisms of chest physiotherapy and controversies about its use are coming ...

Proposed treatment algorithms for dogs with chronic bronchitis associated with irreversible airway changes: bronchiectasis and/or bronchomalacia

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Chronic bronchitis (CB) in dogs involves persistent inflammation of the bronchial walls and excessive mucus production within the airways, with or without bronchial infection, and may lead to degenerative airway changes such as bronchiectasis (BE) and ...

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Treatment with Plasma Activated (Salt) Water Sterilizes Macromolecular Coatings While Maintaining Their Integrity and Functionality

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
PDMS samples were covalently coated with mucin glycoproteins and then treated with either plasma activated water (PAW) or saline (PAS) as a means of disinfection. The samples could be successfully sterilized without compromising the structural integrity or functionality of those coatings.
