Autonomous Recognition of Retained Secretions in Central‐Airway Based on Deep Learning for Adult Patients Receiving Invasive Mechanical Ventilation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a deep learning model to autonomously recognize and classify the secretion retention into three levels for patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, achieving 89.08% accuracy. This model can be implemented to ventilators by edge computing, whose feasibility is approved.

Beyond right or wrong: How partial credit scoring on multiple‐choice questions improves student performance and assessment perceptions

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims In this study, we examined the effects of assigning partial credit to selected answer choices on student performance and perceptions in a pharmacology course using Type A multiple‐choice questions (MCQs). Methods Partial credit scoring was incorporated into quizzes and exams in a 10‐week pharmacology course for postbaccalaureate premedical ...

More Relaxation by Deep Breath on Methacholine- Than on Exercise-Induced bronchoconstriction during the Routine Testing of Asthmatic Children

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Deep inspiration (DI) dilates normal airway precontracted with methacholine. The fact that this effect is diminished or absent in asthma could be explained by the presence of bronchial inflammation.

Targeting thymic stromal lymphopoietin in nasal type 2 inflammation

Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Epithelial cell‐derived thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) plays a crucial role in mediating type 2 immune responses, which is one of the key underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of allergic rhinitis (AR) and most presentations of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).

Loss of bronchoprotection to Salbutamol during sputum induction with hypertonic saline: implications for asthma therapy

Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2018
Background Sputum induction with hypertonic saline in obstructive airway diseases is generally safe. However, saline induces bronchoconstriction in some patients despite pre-medication with Salbutamol. Our objectives were to investigate the predictors of

Ventilation defect formation in healthy and asthma subjects is determined by lung inflation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Imaging studies have demonstrated that ventilation during bronchoconstriction in subjects with asthma is patchy with large ventilation defective areas (Vdefs).

Regular treatment with formoterol for chronic asthma: serious adverse events [PDF]

, 2012
Epidemiological evidence has suggested a link between beta(2)-agonists and increases in asthma mortality. There has been much debate about possible causal links for this association, and whether regular (daily) long-acting beta2-agonists are safe ...

Association between enteral essential fatty acids and plasma phospholipid essential fatty acids related immune response in critically ill adults with COVID‐19: A prospective cohort study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is a complicated disease with widely varying outcomes. Up to 20% of unvaccinated, hospitalized patients infected with COVID‐19 may die during the initial three weeks. Our research shows that COVID‐19 infection results in rapid, remarkable change in the balance between essential fatty acid ...

Association between dietary preferences and asthma among first‐grade primary school children

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
The relationship between dietary habits and childhood asthma is an important area of research. Our results highlight the significance of a healthy diet in the management of children's health, particularly in the prevention of asthma. Schools and families should prioritize providing a balanced and nutritious diet to promote the overall health of ...
