Inhaled particle counts on bicycle commute routes of low and high proximity to motorised traffic [PDF]
Frequent exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) is associated with detrimental effects on cardiopulmonary function and health. UFP dose and therefore the associated health risk are a factor of exposure frequency, duration, and magnitude of (therefore also

Linking ventilation heterogeneity quantified via hyperpolarized He-3 MRI to dynamic lung mechanics and airway hyperresponsiveness [PDF]
Advancements in hyperpolarized helium-3 MRI (HP 3He-MRI) have introduced the ability to render and quantify ventilation patterns throughout the anatomic regions of the lung. The goal of this study was to establish how ventilation heterogeneity relates to

Impact of acoustic airflow on intrasinus drug deposition: New insights into the vibrating mode and the optimal acoustic frequency to enhance the delivery of nebulized antibiotic [PDF]
International audienceAim: We investigated the impact of vibrating acoustic airflow, the high frequency (f ≥ 100 Hz) and the low frequency (f ≤ 45 Hz) sound waves, on the enhancement of intrasinus drug deposition.Methods: 81mKr-gas ventilation study was ...

The Role of rescue therapies in the treatment of severe ARDS [PDF]
ARDS is characterized by a non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema with bilateral chest radiograph opacities and hypoxemia refractory to oxygen therapy. It is a common cause of admission to the ICU due to hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ...

Fantoni’s Tracheostomy using Catheter High Frequency Jet Ventilation
Background: It has been shown previously that conventional ventilation delivered through a long cuffed endotracheal tube is associated with a high flow-resistance and frequent perioperative complications.

High-Frequency Jet Ventilation During Cryoablation of Small Renal Tumours [PDF]
AIM: To evaluate the effect of high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) in place of standard intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (IPPV) on procedure duration, patient radiation dose, complication rates, and outcomes during CT-guided cryoablation of ...
