Practical parameter identifiability of respiratory mechanics in the extremely preterm infant [PDF]

arXiv
The complexity of mathematical models describing respiratory mechanics has grown in recent years, however, parameter identifiability of such models has only been studied in the last decade in the context of observable data. This study investigates parameter identifiability of a nonlinear respiratory mechanics model tuned to the physiology of an ...

A Low Order Finite Element Method for Poroelasticity with Applications to Lung Modelling [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
In this thesis we develop a stabilised finite element method for solving the equations of poroelasticity to enable solving complex models of biological tissues such as the human lungs. For the proposed numerical scheme, we use the lowest possible approximation order: piecewise constant approximation for the pressure, and piecewise linear continuous ...

Tracheoesophageal Voicing Following Resistance‐Based Dysphagia Rehabilitation: An Exploratory Multidimensional Assessment

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This exploratory study investigated tracheoesophageal voicing following 6 weeks of resistance‐based dysphagia rehabilitation with the SEA2.0, using a multidimensional assessment approach. Methods Twenty laryngectomized participants were assessed at T0 (baseline), T1 (after 6 weeks training), and T2 (after 8 weeks rest).

Feasibility and safety of secondary video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery for ipsilateral lung cancer after prior pulmonary resection

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 298-303, January 2023., 2023
The increased survival of patients after a first operation has caused increases in the incidence of locoregional recurrence or second primary lung cancer and a concomitant increase in the number of patients who require secondary surgery. Ipsilateral secondary operation is also commonly practiced, albeit with enhanced difficulty.

Euthyroid goitre and sleep apnea

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2016
A number of predisposing factors (obesity, nasal obstruction, adenoidal hypertrophy, macroglossia, etc) have been related to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). In addition hypothyroidism and large goitres have been reported to be associated to OSAS,

Median effective dosage of midazolam oral solution for preschool children in preoperative sedation

Ibrain, EarlyView.
This study aimed to detect median effective dosage (ED50) of midazolam oral solution (MOS) for preschool children in preoperative sedation. Thirty children who were scheduled for elective of the hidden penis correction surgery under general anesthesia in the pediatric surgery department were selected.

Sleep quality and quantity determined by polysomnography in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients randomized to dexmedetomidine or placebo

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 66-75, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Abnormal sleep is commonly observed in the ICU and is associated with delirium and increased mortality. If sedation is necessary, it is often performed with gamma‐aminobutyric acid agonists such as propofol or midazolam leading to an absence of restorative sleep.
