Non-invasive ventilation.

Minerva anestesiologica, 2009
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is an effective technique that can avert side effects and complications associated with endotracheal intubation. NIV is primarily used to avert the need for endotracheal intubation in patients with early stage acute respiratory failure (ARF), and to prevent postextubation respiratory failure in patients considered to be ...

A Non-Invasive Measure of Photoageing

International Journal of Epidemiology, 1995
Photoageing develops in skin due to chronic sun exposure and a method of measuring photoageing would be useful in monitoring solar damage in populations, in studies of sun exposure as an aetiological agent, and in the evaluation of the effects of cosmetics and therapeutics. Methods of measuring photoageing include several invasive techniques as well as

Non-invasive administration of exosomes

Journal of Controlled Release
Exosomes, as naturally derived extracellular vesicles, have emerged as promising therapeutic carriers due to their intrinsic biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and ability to facilitate intercellular communication. In recent years, the non-invasive administration of exosomes has gained increasing attention as a strategy to enhance patient compliance

Time of non-invasive ventilation

Intensive Care Medicine, 2006
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a safe, versatile and effective technique that can avert side effects and complications associated with endotracheal intubation. The success of NIV relies on several factors, including the type and severity of acute respiratory failure, the underlying disease, the location of treatment, and the experience of the team ...

[The non-invasive catheterization laboratory].

Giornale italiano di cardiologia (2006), 2008
The objective of this review was to explore the clinical relevance of Doppler echocardiographic techniques in the evaluation of right and left ventricular function. It is well known that echocardiographic and Doppler analysis are able to provide information about several hemodynamic parameters, such as cardiac output, diastolic filling pressure ...

Non-invasive glucose monitoring

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1996
Several recent reports claim success in measuring blood glucose non-invasively in human subjects with near-infrared spectroscopy. A critical examination of these published results suggests more fundamental research is needed to verify the validity of these claims. In addition, progress continues in assessing the utility of near-infrared spectroscopy as

Non-invasive Prenatal Diagnosis

2010
The discovery of cell-free fetal DNA in the maternal plasma of pregnant women has facilitated the development of non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD). This has been successfully implemented in diagnostic laboratories for Rhesus typing and fetal sex determination for X-linked disorders and congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) from 7 weeks gestation ...

Non-Invasive Scrotal Thermometry

1991
A key factor in testis temperature investigation is thermometry. The insertion of thermocouples and thermistors into the substance of the testis or into the scrotum goes back to the 1920’s. As this is invasive, large scale studies are difficult owing to refusal on the part of volunteers and even patients to participate.

Use of non-invasive ventilation

Nursing Older People, 2009
As blood levels of carbon dioxide increase (hypercapnia) in lung disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), patients can show signs of delirium, becoming increasingly confused and sleepy. They may also have wrist tremor, muscle twitching, seizures and dilation of conjunctival and superficial facial blood vessels.
