Accurate and Noninvasive Dysphagia Assessment via a Soft High‐Density sEMG Electrode Array Conformal to the Submental and Infrahyoid Muscles

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A stretchable, breathable, large‐area high‐density sEMG (HD‐sEMG) electrode array is reported, which enables seamless integration to the complex surface of the submental and infrahyoid muscles to detect high‐fidelity HD‐sEMG signals during swallowing.

Inferring respiratory and circulatory parameters from electrical impedance tomography with deep recurrent models [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a noninvasive imaging modality that allows a continuous assessment of changes in regional bioimpedance of different organs. One of its most common biomedical applications is monitoring regional ventilation distribution in critically ill patients treated in intensive care units.

Engineering Extracellular Vesicles Derived from 3D Cultivation of BMSCs Enriched with HGF Ameliorate Sepsis‐Induced Lung Epithelial Barrier Damage

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
3D culture of MSCs upregulates gene expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), growth factors (GFs), and increases the production of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Proteomic analysis reveals 642 upregulated proteins in 3D‐EVs, including HGF. These 3D‐EVs, enriched with HGF, protect lung epithelial cells from apoptosis and barrier damage in septic ...

Changes in Energy Metabolism after Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2016
RATIONALE Disrupted energy homeostasis in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may lead to weight gain. Paradoxically, treating OSA with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may also promote weight gain, although the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Wall shear stress distribution in a compliant airway tree [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The airflow in the bronchi applies a shear stress on the bronchial mucus, which can move the mucus. The air--mucus interaction plays an important role in cough and in chest physiotherapy (CP). The conditions under which it induces a displacement of the mucus are still unclear. Yet, the air--mucus interaction justifies common technics of CP used to help

Special Robotic Stylet for Assisting Endotracheal Intubation Based on Multisegment Continuum Mechanism

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A robotic stylet is proposed based on a multisegment continuum mechanism for specialized assisting endotracheal intubation. Its geometric parameters are designed based on medical images and kinematic is derived. A prototype is fabricated, and its kinematics and application are experimentally verified. These robotic systems can improve accurate, secure,

Role of body mass index in outcomes of patients hospitalized with COVID‐19 illness

open access: yesObesity Science &Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 748-756, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Since the start of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic, several studies have linked obesity with severity of illness as well as mortality in patients with COVID‐19. Outcomes of patients with overweight or obesity, who develop critical illness, have been studied extensively over the past decade where the studies have shown ...

Long-Term Non-invasive Ventilation in Children With Down Syndrome: A Systematic Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
ContextChildren with Down syndrome are at risk for obstructive sleep apnea, which may not be resolved by adenotonsillecotmy, as well as other respiratory disorders that may impact breathing during sleep.

Children With 22.Q.11.2 Deletion Syndrome: Sleep‐Disordered Breathing and Management

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) are predisposed to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to an abnormal craniofacial anatomy with pharyngeal hypotonia, retrognathia, micrognathia, and glossoptosis. The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence and management of OSA in a cohort of children with 22q11DS.
