A Novel Murine Model of Acute Laryngeal Injury After Intubation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study describes a novel murine model of acute laryngeal injury (ALgI) after intubation. Chemomechanical injury was performed to the posterior glottis of adult mice using a bleomycin‐dipped wire brush under endoscopic guidance, resulting in reduced glottic mobility, increased posterior glottic thickness, and increased collagen expression. This safe,

Liquid Dynamics in the Upper Respiratory–Digestive System with Contracting Pharynx Motions and Varying Epiglottis Angles

Liquids
Swallowing disorders, or dysphagia, can lead to bolus aspiration in the airway, causing serious adverse health effects. Current clinical interventions for dysphagia are mainly empirical and often based on symptoms rather than etiology, of which a ...
