Cardiac mechanics and reverse remodelling under mechanical support from left ventricular assist devices

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
In recent years, development of mechanical circulatory support devices has proved to be a new treatment modality, in addition to standard pharmacological therapy, for patients with heart failure or acutely depressed cardiac function.

HIF1A reduces acute lung injury by optimizing carbohydrate metabolism in the alveolar epithelium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: While acute lung injury (ALI) contributes significantly to critical illness, it resolves spontaneously in many instances. The majority of patients experiencing ALI require mechanical ventilation.

Concurrent micro- to macro-cardiac electrophysiology in myocyte cultures and human heart slices

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
The contact cardiac electrogram is derived from the extracellular manifestation of cellular action potentials and cell-to-cell communication. It is used to guide catheter based clinical procedures.

Severe acute respiratory failure due to a multifactorial diffuse alveolar haemorrhage

open access: yesRespirology Case Reports, 2020
Diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH) is a life‐threatening syndrome caused by infection, coagulation disorders or autoimmune diseases. We here report the case of an 81‐year‐old male subject affected by a multifactorial DAH, in which the bleeding was ...

Lung Function Status of Workers Exposed to Welding Fume: a Preliminary Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Exposure to welding fume in the workplace was associated with lung function disorders and occupational asthma. In this study, we determined lung function parameters in men workers exposed to welding fumes from heavy equipment manufacturer ...

Partial Mechanical Unloading of the Heart Disrupts L-Type Calcium Channel and Beta-Adrenoceptor Signaling Microdomains

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Introduction: We investigated the effect of partial mechanical unloading (PMU) of the heart on the physiology of calcium and beta-adrenoceptor-cAMP (βAR-cAMP) microdomains.

Absolute electrical impedance tomography (aEIT) guided ventilation therapy in critical care patients: simulations and future trends [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Thoracic electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a noninvasive, radiation-free monitoring technique whose aim is to reconstruct a cross-sectional image of the internal spatial distribution of conductivity from electrical measurements made by injecting ...

Ultrasound evaluation of diaphragmatic function in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a retrospective observational study

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2023
Introduction The diaphragm function assessed by ultrasound has been well-studied in COPD, asthma, and intensive care. However, there are only a few studies on diffuse interstitial lung disease, while dyspnea and quality of life are major issues in the ...

Lung Development Genes and Adult Lung Function

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2020
Rationale: Poor lung health in adult life may occur partly through suboptimal growth and development, as suggested by epidemiological evidence pointing to early life risk factors.Objectives: To systematically investigate the effects of lung development genes on adult lung function.Methods: Using UK Biobank data, we tested the association of 391 genes ...

SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibodies: A Network Meta-Analysis across Vaccines

open access: yesVaccines, 2021
Background: There are no studies providing head-to-head comparison across SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Therefore, we compared the efficacy of candidate vaccines in inducing neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.
