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

Pulmonary 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

Journal 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]

Respiratory 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 ...

Health Literacy, Self‐Efficacy and Knowledge of Sickle Cell Disease Among Caregivers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder in which abnormal haemoglobin leads to severe anaemia, painful crises and organ failure. Caregivers’ health literacy (HL) – their ability to assess, understand and apply information, and interact with healthcare professionals – is crucial for managing children with SCD, yet ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

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

FEBS 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

FEBS 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

Diagnostics, 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.

Contribution of the diaphragm and the other inspiratory muscles to different levels of tidal volume and static inspiratory effort in the rabbit [PDF]

The Journal of Physiology, 1969
1. The contribution of the diaphragm and that of the other inspiratory muscles at different levels of tidal volume and during static inspiratory efforts of various strength has been studied in supine rabbits by blocking phrenic conduction with an electrotonic current. The rabbits were lightly anaesthetized with urethane and pentobarbitone.2. The volume

From patient advocacy to patient‐driven research: Building active partnerships beginning at the bench to reach the bedside

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Research is strongest when conducted alongside patients, not just about them. Patient research organizations help integrate patient perspectives into research priorities, study design, and scientific meetings, leading to meaningful patient outcomes and development of relevant therapies.
