High Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy for Improving Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Case Report [PDF]

open access: yesSleep Medicine Research, 2015
Although continuous positive airway pressure is the treatment of choice for obstructive sleep apnea, its compliance is low. Therefore, alternative therapeutic strategies are often required.

ViTAMIn‐O: Democratizing Computer Vision‐Based Machine Learning for Stem Cell Research

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a fully open generalist computer vision model for predicting the differentiation outcomes of stem cell‐based model systems, together with its code‐free deployment platform, ColabViTAMIn‐O. It is benchmarked against various architectures, datasets, and training protocols.

The Rationale Behind a Continuous Nasal Positive Airway Pressure Machine That Approximates the Nasal Cycle During Sleep

open access: yes, 2017
Normal nasal airflow alternates in dominance between the two nostrils with an ultradian rhythm called the “nasal cycle.” The nasal cycle is thought to enable the patent airway to perform the majority of the air-conditioning functions, while the congested

Analysis of airway secretions in a model of sulfur dioxide induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Hypersecretion and chronic phlegm are major symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but animal models of COPD with a defined functional hypersecretion have not been established so far.

Inferior Turbinate Surgery in Sleep-Disordered Breathing Patients with Nasal Obstruction: Principles and Various Techniques [PDF]

open access: yesSleep Medicine Research, 2018
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is characterized by the intermittent narrowing or collapse of the upper airway, including the nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx during sleep.

Temperature‐Controlled Radiofrequency for Severe Nasal Airway Obstruction: A Non‐Inferiority Comparison With Surgical Intervention

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Temperature‐controlled radiofrequency (TCRF), septoplasty (ST) with turbinate reduction, and functional rhinoplasty (FR) are treatment options for nasal airway obstruction (NAO) and nasal valve dysfunction (NVD), but no direct comparison of these procedures has been performed. Methods This prospective, open‐label, non‐inferiority (

Understanding airflow dynamics: a computational study of nasal and oral breathers using patient-specific models

open access: yesBDJ Open
Objective Breathing patterns and their influence on craniofacial growth and development have remained a subject of debate within orthodontics and otolaryngology. In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was employed to analyze and compare airway
