Development of a compact stand-alone esophageal pressure measurement device
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2018 Mechanical ventilation requires optimal parameter setting for every single patient. For instance sufficient positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may ensure oxygenation and prevent overdistension of lungs or alveolar collapse.

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Giovanni Antonio Scopoli (1723–1788), a physician‐naturalist of the Enlightenment, is primarily remembered for his contributions to botany and entomology. Less attention has been paid to his medical work De hydrargyro Idriensi Tentamina physico‐chymico‐medica (1761), written during his fifteen years of service as physician at the mercury mines

Bacterial Infection Elicits Heat Shock Protein 72 Release from Pleural Mesothelial Cells [PDF]
, 2013 Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) has been implicated in infection-related processes and has been found in body fluids during infection. This study aimed to determine whether pleural mesothelial cells release HSP70 in response to bacterial infection in vitro

The Effectiveness of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation in Subarachnoid Pleural Fistula: A Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]
Neurospine, 2018 Subarachnoid pleural fistula (SPF) is an aberrant communication between the pleural cavity and subarachnoid space, resulting in uncontrolled cerebrospinal fluid drainage. The negative pressure of the pleural cavity creates a continuous suctioning effect,

Posthumously Diagnosed Myhre Syndrome Presenting With Pleural Remodeling and Endometrial Cancer
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome (OMIM 139210) is a genetic condition defined by neurodevelopmental disability, characteristic facial features, and multisystem proliferative fibrosis. While various types of lung disease have been reported, pleural remodeling leading to restrictive lung disease has not yet been described.

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.We established a model of progressive pulmonary fibrosis via repeated intratracheal instillation (ITI) of leomycin (BLM) (A). Perivascular remodeling was observed in areas distant from the fibrotic areas and lesions induced by repeated ITI of BLM simulate those observed in IPF patients (B). Thus, this model has the capacity to track and investigate the

Juxtacardiac pleural pressure during positive end-expiratory pressure ventilation: An intraoperative study in patients with open pericardium [PDF]
, 1994 Objectives. This study was conducted to measure the cardiac constraining effect of the lungs during positive end-expiratory pressure and relate extracardiac pleural pressure (radial stress) to airway pressure, right atrial pressure and left ventricular ...
