Management of a diaphragmatic hernia using self‐locking knots
Summary A 4‐year‐old Thoroughbred gelding was presented with a history of severe colic signs that were non‐responsive to non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs. During initial evaluation, distended small intestine was observed, together with continued colic signs and a serosanguinous abdominocentesis sample.

Role of the Chest Wall in Newborn Respiratory Function at Birth. [PDF]
At birth, liquid is cleared from the airways into lung tissue during lung aeration, causing the lungs to swell, which in turn causes the chest wall to expand. As the newborn chest wall is highly compliant, it can easily expand, but its high compliance reduces breathing efficiency after birth.

Abstract Botulism is a severe and often fatal disease in equine patients worldwide. Clostridium botulinum is a ubiquitous soil organism which produces a potent neurotoxin resulting in neuromuscular blockade and flaccid paralysis in affected animals. Definitive diagnosis is often impractical or impossible, leading to diagnosis and treatment based on ...

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a multisystem disorder that mainly besides the lungs also affects the muscle mass. The force generated by the respiratory muscles decreases, resulting in a negative effect on ventilation and ...

Partial Support Ventilation and Mitochondrial-Targeted Antioxidants Protect against Ventilator-Induced Decreases in Diaphragm Muscle Protein Synthesis. [PDF]
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention in patients in respiratory failure. Unfortunately, prolonged MV results in the rapid development of diaphragm atrophy and weakness.

Abstract Background Flow‐controlled expiration (FLEX) has been shown to significantly enhance oxygenation in horses under laboratory conditions. Objective This study aims to corroborate these findings by evaluating the effects of FLEX on gas exchange in a randomised clinical trial involving a large population of clinical horses undergoing orthopaedic ...

Integrated breathing and relaxation training (the Papworth method) for adults with asthma in primary care: a randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Background: An integrated breathing and relaxation technique known as the Papworth method has been implemented by physiotherapists since the 1960s for patients with asthma and dysfunctional breathing, but no controlled trials have been reported.

Influence of the breathing pattern on the pulmonary function of endurance-trained athletes
Proper functioning of the respiratory system is one of the most important determinants of human health. According to current knowledge, the diaphragmatic breathing pattern seems to be the most favourable.

A perspective on automated rapid eye movement sleep assessment
Summary Rapid eye movement sleep is associated with distinct changes in various biomedical signals that can be easily captured during sleep, lending themselves to automated sleep staging using machine learning systems. Here, we provide a perspective on the critical characteristics of biomedical signals associated with rapid eye movement sleep and how ...
