Профилактика инфекций при тяжелых повреждениях мозга: акцентирование на вентилятор-ассоциированную пневмонию и наружное вентрикулярное дренирование [PDF]

, 2017
Вентилятор-ассоциированная пневмония у пациентов с тяжелой черепно-мозговой травмой может достигать 40 %, и это в значительной степени связано с длительным воздействием механической вентиляции легких.

Machine Learning‐Driven Digital Twin of a Field‐Effect Transistor‐Based Hormone Biosensor for Real‐Time Estradiol Monitoring

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A machine learning‐driven digital twin simulates an aptamer‐functionalized BioFET measuring 17β‐estradiol. Real‐time Isd signals are processed, features are extracted, and trained models estimate hormone concentration. In parallel, a one‐step‐ahead forward model learns biosensor dynamics and generates realistic synthetic signals, enabling in silico ...

Experimental ventilator-associated pneumonia: distribution of lung infection and consequences for lung aeration

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2003
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) has been described in humans and in experimental animals. The most severe lesions are located in dependent lung segments along a sterno-vertebral axis, however the cephalocaudal distribution of lung infection remains

Severe Occupational Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: A Case Series of Four Patients Requiring Lung Transplantation

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immune‐mediated interstitial lung disease triggered by repeated inhalation of organic or chemical antigens. Occupational exposures account for approximately 19% of all cases. Early diagnosis, identification of the responsible antigen(s), and immediate avoidance of exposure are crucial to prevent ...

Establishment of a chronic aspiration pneumonia mouse model using oropharyngeal aspiration of food suspension

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Four aspiration methods (UV, IN, IT, and OA) were compared, and OA was identified as the most effective delivery technique. A chronic aspiration pneumonia model was then established through repeated OA of food suspension or gastric contents. Integrated analyses, including micro‐CT, histopathology, cytokine profiling, and RNA sequencing, revealed ...
