Progressive Curriculum Learning with Scale-Enhanced U-Net for Continuous Airway Segmentation [PDF]
arXivContinuous and accurate segmentation of airways in chest CT images is essential for preoperative planning and real-time bronchoscopy navigation. Despite advances in deep learning for medical image segmentation, maintaining airway continuity remains a challenge, particularly due to intra-class imbalance between large and small branches and blurred CT ...

A Fully Automated System for Sizing Nasal PAP Masks Using Facial Photographs [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We present a fully automated system for sizing nasal Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) masks. The system is comprised of a mix of HOG object detectors as well as multiple convolutional neural network stages for facial landmark detection. The models were trained using samples from the publicly available PUT and MUCT datasets while transfer learning was ...

A poroelastic model coupled to a fluid network with applications in lung modelling [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Here we develop a lung ventilation model, based a continuum poroelastic representation of lung parenchyma and a 0D airway tree flow model. For the poroelastic approximation we design and implement a lowest order stabilised finite element method. This component is strongly coupled to the 0D airway tree model. The framework is applied to a realistic lung

Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Comorbid Neuromuscular Disorders
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) is an effective surgical treatment for many patients with moderate‐to‐severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are unable to tolerate continuous positive airway pressure. Patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMD) are particularly vulnerable to more complex sleep‐related breathing disorders due to respiratory ...

The Need for Postoperative Chest X‐Ray After Placement of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) is a surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients intolerant to CPAP. Current practice often involves chest x‐ray (CXR) in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), though the incidence of pulmonary complications is low.

Pneumatocele triggered by continuous positive airway pressure after lung resection
Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2020 A pneumatocele is a cystic change of the lung that is caused by a check valve in the bronchiole due to infection, trauma and positive-pressure ventilation. We herein report a case of pneumatocele triggered by using of continuous positive airway pressure (

Near-fatal misuse of medical tape around an endotracheal tube connector during inhalation anesthesia in a horse [PDF]
, 2012 A 7-year-old gelded Irish sports horse weighing 650 kg was anesthetized on 2 consecutive days for lavage of a septic right radio-carpal joint. On both occasions the endotracheal tube connector, which had been bound in medical tape to produce an airtight ...
