The effect of local ventilation on airborne viral transmission in indoor spaces [PDF]
We incorporate local ventilation effects into a spatially dependent generalisation of the Wells--Riley model of airborne viral transmission. Aerosol production and removal through ventilation (global and local), biological deactivation, and gravitational settling as well as transport around a recirculating air-conditioning flow and turbulent mixing are

Background A large proportion of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) develop severe respiratory failure requiring admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and about 80% of them need mechanical ventilation (MV).

Extracorporeal support for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. [PDF]
Extracorporeal membrane oxygen (ECMO) has been used for many years in patients with life-threatening hypoxaemia and/or hypercarbia. While early trials demonstrated that it was associated with poor outcomes and extensive haemorrhage, the technique has ...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and respiratory failure; what about the diaphragm?
Introduction: We present a case of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) with a diaphragm paralysis as the primary cause of ventilatory failure. FSHD is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder with a restricted pattern of weakness.

Increasing ventilation reduces SARS-CoV-2 airborne transmission in schools: a retrospective cohort study in Italy's Marche region [PDF]
Background: While increasing the ventilation rate is an important measure to remove inhalable virus-laden respiratory particles and lower the risk of infection, direct validation in schools with population-based studies is far from definitive. Methods: We investigated the strength of association between ventilation and SARS-CoV-2 transmission ...

The mechanics of mechanical ventilation [PDF]
The Ventilator has represented an advance in the respiratory support for patients on anesthesia and intensive care. The ventilatory support increases the chance of survival in patients with respiratory failure, and / or major surgical procedures. This paper consists of a summary of advances in the ventilatory support, in describing the physiological ...

Pressure support ventilation attenuates ventilator-induced protein modifications in the diaphragm [PDF]
Common medical conditions that require mechanical ventilation include chronic obstructive lung disease, acute lung injury, sepsis, heart failure, drug overdose, neuromuscular disorders, and surgery.

Forecasting Pressure Of Ventilator Using A Hybrid Deep Learning Model Built With Bi-LSTM and Bi-GRU To Simulate Ventilation [PDF]
A ventilator simulation system can make mechanical ventilation easier and more effective. As a result, predicting a patient's ventilator pressure is essential when designing a simulation ventilator. We suggested a hybrid deep learning-based approach to forecast required ventilator pressure for patients.

Health and economic benefits of building ventilation interventions for reducing indoor PM2.5 exposure from both indoor and outdoor origins in urban Beijing, China [PDF]
China is confronted with serious PM2.5 pollution, especially in the capital city of Beijing. Exposure to PM2.5 could lead to various negative health impacts including premature mortality. As people spend most of their time indoors, the indoor exposure to
