Pathophysiology of Respiratory Insufficiency

, 2023
This chapter will discuss the pathophysiology of the two types of respiratory failure type 1 and type 2, also known as hypoxic type and hypercapnic type respectively, which will help in understanding how respiratory diseases emerge. The next few pages will go through anatomy, physiology, and mechanisms of developing hypoxia and hypercapnia.

Localization accuracy of 6‐second CBCT for lung IGRT with various breathing patterns

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The 6‐second cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) acquisition of the Ethos HyperSight (Varian Medical Systems, Inc. Palo Alto, CA, USA) on‐board imaging system offers benefits, but could be too fast to accurately capture an average target position in a free‐breathing lung cancer patient. This study aimed to ascertain whether a 6‐second

KIF5A p.Pro986Leu Risk Variant and Accelerated Progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the impact of KIF5A rs113247976 (p.Pro986Leu), a risk allele for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), on phenotypic variability in two Italian ALS cohorts (discovery, n = 865; replication, n = 1174). The minor allele (T) frequency was 0.015.

Translating Muscle RNAseq Into the Clinic for the Diagnosis of Muscle Diseases

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Approximately half of patients with hereditary myopathies remain without a definitive genetic diagnosis after DNA next‐generation sequencing (NGS). Here, we implemented transcriptome analysis of muscle biopsies as a complementary diagnostic tool for patients with muscle disease but no definitive genetic diagnosis after exome ...

Ageism in Rheumatology: The Health Care Professional's Perspective

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Ageism (age‐based stereotypes, prejudice, or discrimination) is prevalent and linked to prolonged disability and reduced lifespan in older adults. Little is known about ageism within rheumatology. This study explores the health care professional's (HCP) perception of the care of older adults and how ageist attitudes or perspectives may impact
