Bi-level home ventilators for non invasive positive pressure ventilation

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2004
With the widespread use of non-invasive positive pressure mechanical ventilation, great efforts have been made to produce machines, the bi-level home ventilators, which are less sophisticated, cheaper and able to better compensate air leaks with respect ...

The Role of rescue therapies in the treatment of severe ARDS [PDF]

, 2018
ARDS is characterized by a non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema with bilateral chest radiograph opacities and hypoxemia refractory to oxygen therapy. It is a common cause of admission to the ICU due to hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ...

Hybrid Scaffolds Decouple Biochemical & Biophysical Regulation of Cell Phenotype

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Replicating tissue‐specific extracellular matrix is crucial for understanding its role in disease. This work demonstrates independent control over stiffness, composition and 3D collagen architecture using hybrid scaffolds: patterned collagen perfused with defined hydrogels.

Characterization of an Injectable Poly(vinyl alcohol)‐gelatin Hydrogel for Growth Factor Delivery in an Orthopedic Application

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces photo‐crosslinkable tyraminated poly(vinyl alcohol)‐gelatin (PVA‐GT) hydrogels as tunable injectable platforms for tissue engineering and growth factor delivery applications. This schematic illustrates the two developed hydrogel formulations and the experimental workflow used to evaluate their physico‐chemical properties in vitro ...

An individualized approach to sustained inflation duration at birth improves outcomes in newborn preterm lambs [PDF]

, 2015
A sustained first inflation (SI) at birth may aid lung liquid clearance and aeration, but the impact of SI duration relative to the volume-response of the lung is poorly understood.
