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.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Emerging Treatments Targeting the Genioglossus Muscle [PDF]
, 2019 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction caused by a loss of upper airway dilator muscle tone during sleep and an inadequate compensatory response by these muscles in the context of an anatomically

Effect of airway pressure on lumbar epidural pressure during positive pressure ventilation [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2011 BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to measure lumbar epidural pressure (EP) during the insertion of a Tuohy needle under general anesthesia and to evaluate the influence of airway pressure on EP.MethodsLumbar EP was measured directly through a Tuohy

Oscillating Positive Airway Pressure Versus CPAP for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea [PDF]
, 2015 Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most effective therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), it is not always well tolerated by the patients.

Long-term prediction of adherence to continuous positive air pressure therapy for the treatment of moderate/severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a highly effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). However, poor adherence is a limiting factor, and a significant proportion of patients are unable to tolerate CPAP.
