Koalas use a novel vocal organ to produce unusually low-pitched mating calls [PDF]
SummaryDuring the breeding season, male koalas produce ‘bellow’ vocalisations that are characterised by a continuous series of inhalation and exhalation sections, and an extremely low fundamental frequency (the main acoustic correlate of perceived pitch)

Comparison of asthma phenotypes in OVA-induced mice challenged via inhaled and intranasal routes
Background The respiratory system is exposed to various allergens via inhaled and intranasal routes. Murine models of allergic lung disease have been developed to clarify the mechanisms underlying inflammatory responses and evaluate the efficacy of novel

Comparative evaluation of the mutagenicity and genotoxicity of smoke condensate derived from Korean cigarettes [PDF]
Objectives Cigarette smoking is associated with carcinogenesis owing to the mutagenic and genotoxic effects of cigarette smoke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mutagenic and genotoxic effects of Korean cigarettes using in vitro assays.

Modeling-based determination of physiological parameters of systemic VOCs by breath gas analysis: a pilot study [PDF]
In this paper we develop a simple two compartment model which extends the Farhi equation to the case when the inhaled concentration of a volatile organic compound (VOC) is not zero. The model connects the exhaled breath concentration of systemic VOCs with physiological parameters such as endogenous production rates and metabolic rates.

Lung injury associated with inhalation of effective microorganism blends [PDF]
Since 2009, effective microorganisms (EMs) have been supplied by the local government to the citizens of Seongnam, Korea, for various environment-protective uses including manufacturing detergents, cosmetics and humidifier disinfectants.

Modeling-based determination of physiological parameters of systemic VOCs by breath gas analysis, part 2 [PDF]
In a recent paper we presented a simple two compartment model which describes the influence of inhaled concentrations on exhaled breath concentrations for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with small Henry constants. In this paper we extend this investigation concerning the influence of inhaled concentrations on exhaled breath concentrations for VOCs ...

AI-enabled Sound Pattern Recognition on Asthma Medication Adherence: Evaluation with the RDA Benchmark Suite [PDF]
Asthma is a common, usually long-term respiratory disease with negative impact on global society and economy. Treatment involves using medical devices (inhalers) that distribute medication to the airways and its efficiency depends on the precision of the inhalation technique.

Als inhalative Anasthetika werden Narkotika bezeichnet, die im gasformigen Zustand uber die Lungen inhaliert und anschliesend im Blut gelost an ihren Wirkort transportiert werden. Diese Form der Anasthesie wurde bereits 1847, als Athernarkose, erfolgreich demonstriert.
