Non-invasive ventilation in the elderly – never too late!
Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2021 Dear Editor, Practising evidence-based medicine in an ageing population is challenging. Nevertheless, using age as a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure contraindication is less and less common.

Surface mechanomyography and electromyography provide non-invasive indices of inspiratory muscle force and activation in healthy subjects [PDF]
, 2018 The current gold standard assessment of human inspiratory muscle function involves using invasive measures of transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) or crural diaphragm electromyography (oesEMGdi).

28. Validity of three risk stratification systems in a Saudi population
Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2016 Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Although there are a number of algorithms in use for determining risk and thus predicting future cardiovascular events, the data available regarding their validity among the Saudi ...

Non-invasive Ventilation in Children With Neuromuscular Disease
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020 The respiratory muscles are rarely spared in children with neuromuscular diseases (NMD) which puts them at risk of alveolar hypoventilation. The role of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is then to assist or “replace” the weakened respiratory muscles in ...

Non-invasive ventilation [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1996 Summary Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation is an effective treatment for nocturnal hypoventilation secondary to chest wall deformity or respiratory muscle weakness. Physicians should be aware that, in these groups of patients, disabling breathlessness can be alleviated and established cor pulmonale reversed by the technique.

Non-invasive detection of molecular bonds in quantum dots [PDF]
, 2008 We performed charge detection on a lateral triple quantum dot with star-like geometry. The setup allows us to interpret the results in terms of two double dots with one common dot.

70. Epicardial fat quality effect on subclinical atherosclerosis
Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2016 Epicardial fat quality measured as Hounsfield Unit (HU) by computed tomography has significant impact on atherosclerosis. Excessive epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is considered a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD).

LTP-like cortical plasticity predicts conversion to dementia in patients with memory impairment
Brain Stimulation, 2020 Background: New diagnostic criteria consider Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as a clinico-biological entity identifiable in vivo on the presence of specific patterns of CSF biomarkers. Objective: Here we used transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate the

Comfort During Non-invasive Ventilation
Frontiers in Medicine, 2022 Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been shown to be effective in avoiding intubation and improving survival in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (ARF) when compared to conventional oxygen therapy.

Non-invasive electroretinography
Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2006 Electroretinographic (ERG) investigations are conventionally performed by using corneal or conjunctival recording electrodes. Both types have to be placed in contact with the eye, resulting invasive and providing discomfort for the patient. This paper presents a simple technique to detect ERG potentials non-invasively.
