Management of Mechanical Ventilation in Decompensated Heart Failure. [PDF]
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for respiratory failure, including decompensated congestive heart failure. MV can reduce ventricular preload and afterload, decrease extra-vascular lung water, and decrease the work of breathing ...

The Correlation Between Non-Invasive Ventilation Use and the Development of Dry Eye Disease
The use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) devices such as continuous positive airway pressure and bi-level positive airway pressure machines have been associated with an increased incidence of dry eye disease (DED).

Long-term survival following initiation of home non-invasive ventilation: a European study
Introduction Although home non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used to manage patients with chronic ventilatory failure, there are limited data on the long-term outcome of these patients.

The UK myotonic dystrophy patient registry: facilitating and accelerating clinical research [PDF]
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most frequent muscular dystrophy worldwide with complex, multi-systemic, and progressively worsening symptoms. There is currently no treatment for this inherited disorder and research can be challenging due to the ...

Direct visualisation of collateral ventilation in COPD with hyperpolarised gas MRI [PDF]
Background Collateral ventilation has been proposed as a mechanism of compensation of respiratory function in obstructive lung diseases but observations of it in vivo are limited.
