Helium-Oxygen in the Postextubation Period Decreases Inspiratory Effort

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2001
Abstract After tracheal extubation, upper and total airway resistances may frequently be increased resulting in an increase in inspiratory effort to breathe. We tested whether breathing a helium-oxygen mixture (HeO2) would reduce inspiratory effort in the period after extubation.

Orthopnea and inspiratory effort in chronic heart failure patients

open access: yesRespiratory Medicine, 2003
Orthopnea is a typical feature of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), the factors contributing to it are not completely understood. We investigated changes in dyspnea and other respiratory variables, induced by altering posture (from sitting to supine) in 11 CHF patients (NYHA classes II-IV) and 10 control subjects.We measured dyspnea (Borg ...

Guiding Inspiratory Flow: Development of the In-Check DIAL G16, a Tool for Improving Inhaler Technique

open access: yesPulmonary Medicine, 2017
Portable inhalers are divisible into those that deliver medication by patient triggering (pMDIs: a gentle slow inhalation) and those that use the patient’s inspiratory effort as the force for deaggregation and delivery (DPIs: a stronger deeper ...

Identifying asynchronies: Reverse trigger

open access: yesJournal of Mechanical Ventilation, 2022
A variety of asynchronies between the patient’s respiratory efforts and the programed ventilatory settings have been categorized. Reverse trigger is described as an inspiratory effort occurring after a ventilator-initiated breath and may represent a ...

Spontaneous Inspiratory Effort During Lung-Protective Ventilation [PDF]

open access: yesRespiratory Care, 2019
The reduction of tidal volume during controlled mechanical ventilation of patients with ARDS has proven to be one of the few specific interventions in critical care that can save lives.[1][1] Indeed, there is some evidence that lung-protective ventilation strategies, including tidal volume ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Respiratory Variations of Central Venous Pressure as Indices of Pleural Pressure Swings: A Narrative Review

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2023
The measurement of pleural (or intrathoracic) pressure is a key element for a proper setting of mechanical ventilator assistance as both under- and over-assistance may cause detrimental effects on both the lungs and the diaphragm.

Interpreting the effects of DNA polymerase variants at the structural level

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using MAVISp and molecular dynamics simulations, we analyzed over 60 000 missense variants in POLE and POLD1 from ClinVar, COSMIC, cBioPortal, and saturation mutagenesis. Identified mechanistic indicators, including stability, binding, and long‐range, enable structural interpretation, providing ACMG‐like evidence for possible reclassification of VUS ...

Risk Factors for Pulmonary Air Leak and Clinical Prognosis in Patients With COVID-19 Related Acute Respiratory Failure: A Retrospective Matched Control Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2022
BackgroundThe role of excessive inspiratory effort in promoting alveolar and pleural rupture resulting in air leak (AL) in patients with SARS-CoV-2 induced acute respiratory failure (ARF) while on spontaneous breathing is undetermined.MethodsAmong all ...
