Avalanches in the lung: A statistical mechanical model [PDF]
, 1996 We study a statistical mechanical model for the dynamics of lung inflation which incorporates recent experimental observations on the opening of individual airways by a cascade or avalanche mechanism. Using an exact mapping of the avalanche problem onto percolation on a Cayley tree, we analytically derive the exponents describing the size distribution ...

Comparing the effects of intravenous injection and intranasal atomisation of detomidine in sheep
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 353-362, January 2023., 2023 This paper compares the intravenous and intranasal routs of Detomidine administration in sheep. Abstract Background Detomidine is an α‐2 agonist sedative drug which reduces the release of norepinephrine in nerves. Administering this drug through intranasal (IN) route could cause direct transmission to the central nervous system.

Altitude-Associated Central Apnea in Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy
Sleep ScienceIntroduction At high altitudes, hypobaric hypoxia leads to central apneas in both healthy adults and patients with obstructive sleep apnea. This condition correlates with intermittent desaturation and disruption of sleep.

Titration with automatic continuous positive airway pressure in obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]
, 2017 Background and objective Autotitrating positive airway pressure (APAP) is an accepted titration method to determine the optimal positive airway pressure (PAP), for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.New anticancer therapies with potential cardiovascular side effects are continuously being introduced into clinical practice, with new and often unexpected toxicities becoming apparent only after clinical introduction. These unknown toxicities should be identified and understood beforehand to better prepare patients and physicians, enabling the ...

The Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Middle Ear Pressure
Southeastern European Medical JournalAim of the study: The study investigated the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on middle ear pressure. Methods: Forty-two patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) were assigned to the study group. The patients underwent standard
