Abdominal functional electrical stimulation to improve respiratory function after spinal cord injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2016
Objectives: Abdominal functional electrical stimulation (abdominal FES) is the application of a train of electrical pulses to the abdominal muscles, causing them to contract. Abdominal FES has been used as a neuroprosthesis to acutely augment respiratory

Peak Expiratory Flow Rate in Pregnant Women

Journal of Bangladesh Society of Physiologist, 1970
In the present study peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) were estimated in pregnant women during different trimester to observe the alteration in air flow rate during pregnancy. This study was carried out in the department of Physiology of Dhaka Medical College from July 2004 to June 2005. For this purpose, total 100 women with age ranged from 25 years to

Patterns of recruitment and injury in a heterogeneous airway network model [PDF]

, 2015
In respiratory distress, lung airways become flooded with liquid and may collapse due to surface-tension forces acting on air-liquid interfaces, inhibiting gas exchange.

Phase 2 trial of montelukast for prevention of pain in sickle cell disease. [PDF]

, 2020
Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) are lipid mediators of inflammation. In patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), levels of CysLTs are increased compared with controls and associated with a higher rate of hospitalization for pain. We tested the hypothesis
